The contractions occurring in late pregnancy should be distinguished between pseudo contractions and true contractions. Pseudo contractions generally do not affect the fetus, while true contractions are a sign of labor. The details of the two are as follows: 1. Pseudo contractions: late pregnancy, because the uterus is more sensitive, there may be irregular contractions of the uterus, short duration, weak, or limited to the lower abdomen or groin area. It will stop again after several hours and will not cause the opening of the cervix and the fetal head to descend. Such contractions are irregular and non-periodic, and there will be no pain, which usually has no effect on the fetus. If there is pain in the lower abdomen, the time duration is short and not constant, and the interval is long and irregular, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment; 2. True contractions: regular and long duration. Generally, regular and gradually increasing uterine contractions lasting 30 seconds or more with an interval of 5-6 minutes, accompanied by cervical enlargement, fetal head descent and possibly a small amount of vaginal bleeding indicate the imminent arrival of labor. At this time, you should be admitted to the hospital, monitor the fetal heartbeat and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the mode of delivery. After the late pregnancy, you must insist on going to the maternity check-ups on time and pay attention to the results of each check-up so that abnormalities can be detected and solved in time. During late pregnancy, the mother-to-be should not go out alone, and if she must go out alone, she must carry her cell phone with her.
