Q: Miya, hello ~ I am 37 weeks pregnant, a few days ago suddenly felt that the uterus began to contract pain, and my husband prepared some luggage, then went straight to the hospital to give birth, but the doctor told me that this is false labor pain, please go home first to recuperate. How do you tell the difference between real and fake pain?
A: Dear hello, thank you for your trust ~ Let's first say the conclusion, the difference between true and false labor pain is that true labor pain is more regular than false labor pain, and the pain site will be transferred.
"Ah, the pain has begun, am I going to give birth!?"
"Take a deep breath, calm down, not necessarily."
Although true and false labor pains are often silly and unclear, we can still distinguish whether it is real or false labor pains from frequency, regularity, and pain sites. As long as the expectant mother calms down and pays attention to observation, she can avoid being "returned" by the hospital!
When the real labor pain comes, the uterus will contract every 5 minutes, each pain will last about 30 seconds to 1 minute, at this time for internal examination, the cervical opening will be between 0 and 3 centimeters; then, the uterus will slowly become every 3 to 4 minutes contraction, the cervical opening will expand to 3 to 7 centimeters; the closer to the time of delivery, the true labor pain will become more and more intense, and the contraction time will be elongated, the frequency will increase, until the cervical opening reaches 10 centimeters and the fetal head declines, it can be produced. If you take painkillers at this time, there will be no obvious pain relief.
However, if it is pseudo-labor pain, the frequency of uterine contraction of the pregnant mother will not be too regular, and the intensity and time interval of the pain will not gradually increase. If you take painkillers at this time, an analgesic effect will occur.
The pain site of true and false labor pain also varies. When encountering real labor pain, the expectant mother will first feel pain in the lower back, and the closer to giving birth, the pain site will slowly move to the lower abdomen. The site of pseudo-labor pain is usually concentrated in the lower abdomen or groin (in front of the root of both thighs, in the lower part of the groin area), and the pain may be reduced if you lie down or change your position at this time.
