Training cuts allow the uterus to prepare for those cuts that it will have to perform when pushing the baby out. In addition, they prepare for labor and the cervix, which should be in perfect condition at this crucial moment.
Symptoms of false bouts
Not all future mothers experience false contractions during pregnancy. Sometimes you can do without unnecessary stress. But so luckily rarely. Just in case, you need to know the symptoms of training cuts:
- they can occur after 20 weeks of pregnancy;
- the tension of the uterus lasts for several seconds, after which it passes without causing pain or other physical discomfort, but can be repeated without any periodicity;
- there is no disclosure of the cervix , the expiration of amniotic fluid or other signs of a change in the main female organ during labor.
In addition, they occur usually at night, when the woman is at rest, and nothing can provoke the onset of labor. If a day comes, a feeling of tension usually subsides after a change in body position, activity or walk.
How long can false bouts last?
Training of muscles can take from 2 to 7 seconds - each woman in different ways. The frequency of such reductions is also different, but is not stable. If the tension of the uterus is felt with a certain frequency, and, moreover, if such a frequency increases, then you need to see a doctor. It is especially important to do this if the fetus is not yet full. So, the main difference between false fights from the real ones is determined by their low intensity, weak pain sensations, and also by the frequency.
After false battles, when the birth is already close, the true contractile processes, characterized by pain sensations, great regularity, an increase in intensity and signs of preparing the uterus to expel the fetus, can begin.
