Regular uterine contractions refer to contractions that occur in a regular pattern, approximately every 3-4 minutes, lasting for about 30 seconds each time. Gradually, the interval between contractions will become shorter, and the duration of pain will increase. If regular uterine contractions occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, as delivery may occur at any time.
1. The sensation of regular uterine contractions is characterized by rhythmic pain after regular contractions. The pain is rhythmic and often occurs every 3-4 minutes, lasting for about half a minute each time. As time goes on, the pain may gradually intensify, and cervical dilation may also occur. It is recommended to go to the hospital for delivery promptly.
2. Distinguishing between false and real contractions is important when experiencing contractions. Many pregnant women experience false contractions in the late stages of pregnancy. The most obvious symptom of false contractions is a hardening of the abdomen. If it is a false contraction, pregnant women do not need to worry too much.
3. The time of delivery after regular contractions varies depending on the specific situation. For first-time mothers, it may take 10-12 hours, while for women who have given birth before, it may take 6-8 hours. However, the specific situation varies from person to person. It is important to monitor the progress of labor, changes in fetal heart rate and movement, and to cooperate with doctors actively. When the cervix is fully dilated, correct use of abdominal pressure is essential.
