It is normal for contractions to occur once every 10 minutes at 40 weeks of pregnancy, and they are related to pseudocontractions and true contractions. 1. False contractions: If they are not accompanied by vaginal fluid, do not gradually increase in frequency, and gradually weaken with time, they are false contractions. If they do not affect normal life and sleep at night, they can be observed temporarily without going to the hospital. 2. True contractions: If the frequency of contractions gradually increases, accompanied by paroxysmal abdominal pain, it is necessary to consider whether there is intrauterine distress and the fetus is in the pelvis, and should go to the hospital for timely consultation. After 40 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women should adjust their mental state every 10 minutes after contractions, and family members should pay more attention to accompanying pregnant women in order to avoid their anxiety and uneasiness. Prepare for the delivery, pay attention to the symptoms that appear at any time and deal with them in time, especially pay attention to the value of the pregnant woman’s blood pressure, and consult the doctor in time for any abnormality.
