False contractions are not an indication of labor or delivery. Usually, it takes about 14-15 hours from the appearance of regular contractions to the delivery of the fetus, but it varies from person to person, and it takes less time if the fetus is small and the pelvis is in good condition. Pseudo contractions refer to the occasional tightening and hardening of the uterus in late pregnancy, which are short-lived and irregular and cannot determine the official time of delivery. Regular contractions refer to 2-3 contractions within 10 minutes, lasting 20-30 seconds, and are a sign of labor. The first stage of labor is from the beginning of regular contractions to the opening of the uterus, which is usually 11-12 hours for primiparous women and 6-8 hours for women in labor; the second stage of labor is from the opening of the uterus to the delivery of the fetus, which is no more than 3 hours for primiparous women and usually within 1 hour for women in labor; the third stage of labor is from the delivery of the fetus to the delivery of the placenta, which is no more than 30 minutes. In short, false contractions do not need to be treated, they are a common symptom in late pregnancy. However, if regular contractions occur near the due date, you should go to the hospital in time for delivery.
