Should I go to the hospital if I have contractions once every 10 minutes?

The decision to go to the hospital for contractions that occur once every 10 minutes depends on the type of contraction. If the contractions are pseudo contractions, not accompanied by vaginal fluid and relieved after a few hours, you may not go to the hospital. If the contraction is a true contraction that occurs regularly during the expected period of labor, the frequency of the contraction increases gradually and is accompanied by paroxysmal abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention promptly. If a woman feels a contraction once every 10 minutes, but the frequency does not gradually increase and gradually decreases with time, this may be a pseudo contraction, which is usually less intense and is not accompanied by significant abdominal pain, and may be accompanied by a feeling of lower abdominal constriction. If the pseudo contractions do not affect normal life or sleep at night, they can be temporarily observed; if the pain at night affects sleep or normal life, or if the pain increases and the contractions suddenly become frequent, it is necessary to consider the occurrence of intrauterine distress or other conditions of the fetus, and timely consultation should be made at the hospital. If a woman feels obvious abdominal pain, regular, unrelieved and strong, possibly accompanied by vaginal bloody discharge, or if the water breaks because of the rupture of the fetal membranes due to contractions, it is possible that the woman is in labor, which is a true contraction. At this time, first-time mothers can usually be observed temporarily, and when the contractions are once every 5 minutes or other abnormalities appear, they need to go to the hospital in time for delivery. For women who are in labor, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid emergency delivery because of the fast labor.
