During contractions, pregnant women can keep changing positions as long as they feel comfortable.
Contractions can be a sign of labor and there is no specific treatment needed in this case, as long as the pregnant woman feels comfortable, she can keep changing positions to relieve the symptoms.
The most important sign of labor is regular and gradually increasing uterine contractions lasting 30 seconds or more, with a 5-6 minute interval, accompanied by progressive loss of the cervical canal, dilatation of the uterine opening, and descent of the fetal prelude.
If the contractions are not strong and the membranes have not been ruptured, the pregnant woman can move around indoors appropriately. Moderate activity and standing position in low-risk women can help to shorten the first stage of labor. Encourage pregnant women to urinate every 2-4 hours to avoid full bladder which may affect contractions and fetal head descent.
Mental state of pregnant women can affect the contractions and progress of labor. Encouragement and support for pregnant women to overcome the helplessness and fear brought about by paroxysms, enhance the confidence of pregnant women in natural childbirth, and mobilize the enthusiasm of pregnant women to work closely with midwives will help the labor to proceed smoothly.
If the contractions are accompanied by vaginal bleeding, the pregnant woman should go to the hospital in time for a clear diagnosis by the doctor, and cooperate with the doctor in treating the symptoms.
