Do false contractions hurt?

Pseudocontractions are a physiological manifestation and do not cause pain. Pseudocontractions occur after the fourth month of pregnancy when the fetus stimulates the uterine wall while moving around in the uterine cavity. These contractions only show a tightening and hardening of the stomach and may show a slight tingling sensation or be more distended, but there is no significant pain. Pseudocontractions are not regular and are more frequent at night and less frequent during the day. Pseudocontractions do not require special treatment, but if you feel that they are too severe, you should take care to rest and not to overexert yourself to avoid stimulating the uterus. During this period, you should also pay attention to the fetal heartbeat and fetal movement when the false contractions are too frequent. If the fetal movement is too frequent and the fetal heartbeat is too fast, it is considered that the fetus has intrauterine ischemia and hypoxia, and oxygen should be administered in time to improve the symptoms.
