How to relieve contractions at 34 weeks of pregnancy

When contractions occur at 34 weeks of pregnancy, it is necessary to take appropriate relief according to the specific situation of contractions. 1. Irregular contractions: the frequency is several times a day or once in 1-2 hours, the degree is mild, no pain, no dilatation of the uterine orifice and no shortening of the cervical length by ultrasonography, which is normal and does not require treatment. You can go to work with normal activities, and pay attention to fetal movement and contraction interval. 2. Frequent contractions: if you have one contraction in 10-15 minutes with pain, or with vaginal bleeding and mucus-like discharge from the vagina (cervical mucus), it is recommended to go to the hospital for consultation. Fetal heartbeat monitoring should be done to see if there are any abnormalities in the fetal heartbeat, and an internal examination should be done to check if the cervix has shortened and the opening of the uterus has dilated. If preterm labor is confirmed, medications to suppress contractions, such as ritodrine hydrochloride and atosiban, etc., and medications to promote fetal lung maturation, such as dexamethasone, should be used under the guidance of the doctor. Pregnant women should pay attention to keep their bowels and urine open and avoid abdominal pressure actions, such as lifting heavy objects and carrying children. Also pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the vulva. During contractions, the pregnant woman should relax her whole body and try to take a comfortable position, while taking deep breaths and keeping a long breath. You can also listen to music and do other things to distract yourself to avoid anxiety aggravating the discomfort.
