What do contractions feel like?

When the real uterine contractions begin, the pain usually occurs in the expectant mother's abdomen, and some people may experience it in the waist. The degree of pain varies from person to person. When mild pain occurs, the feeling is the same as the lower abdominal pain during menstruation; as time goes by, the pain will gradually intensify, the intervals will shorten, and the pain duration will prolong.

After a period of time, the contractions will become more intense, with pain spreading to the lower abdomen, or there may be a pain in the waist and a feeling of defecation. These contractions are in preparation for the birth of the baby. At this time, expectant mothers should not be overly nervous. It is best to distract their attention, relax, and cooperate with the doctor's guidance. You can also use birth control exercises, Lamaze breathing method, etc. to coordinate uterine contractions for a smoother delivery.

Generally speaking, uterine contractions are one of the symptoms before a pregnant woman gives birth. When a pregnant woman has regular uterine contractions, it means that the baby is about to be born. At this time, the pregnant woman can go to the hospital to wait for delivery.
