What to do about pregnancy contractions

  Contractions, as the name implies, are contractions of the uterus, divided into pseudo contractions and real contractions, and most of the contractions that women have during pregnancy are pseudo contractions. It is not necessary to be too nervous and worried after the contractions occur, you should pay more attention to rest and not to be too emotional, and you do not need special treatment. However, if the contractions occur in the second trimester, you should pay attention to determine whether they are true contractions or false contractions, usually true contractions, which means that the delivery is imminent, then you need to go to the hospital obstetrics and gynecology department in time for delivery.  True contractions are one of the main symptoms of labor, they are irregular and weak at the beginning, and become regular with time, increasing in intensity and shortening in intervals. Pseudo contractions are episodic uterine contractions his time is not regular, and there is no periodicity degree, strength and weakness, and they start around 6 weeks of pregnancy for women, and many women will not feel them at first, until the middle of pregnancy. After the contractions occur, women should not do strenuous exercise, but lie down and rest for a few minutes or gently stroke the abdomen with their hands, which usually stops soon on its own.  However, if the contractions are accompanied by severe abdominal pain and irregular vaginal bleeding, the woman must go to the hospital immediately, as this is usually caused by preterm miscarriage or premature rupture of membranes.
