It is recommended to lie on the left side of the body during contractions to minimize the effect on the fetal heartbeat, but generally speaking, lying on the side or flat as long as the mother is comfortable is sufficient. The presence of contractions at the expected date of labor is a sign of labor, for which no special treatment is needed, as long as the mother is comfortable, and can continue to change positions without affecting the fetal heart rate.

During contractions, the mother can eat milk, bread and other foods to maintain physical strength, while avoiding too much attention to the pain, maintain a stable mood and wait patiently for labor, cooperate with the doctor is conducive to the smooth progress of labor.
