Patient's question:
Is frequent false labor a sign that labor is near?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your situation is pregnancy, and you have experienced these false contractions. If you have reached this due date, these false contractions do not require treatment—just let nature take its course. If these contractions become regular, then they are a sign of labor. False contractions are part of the body's adaptation process before delivery and will not have any adverse effects. You can rest assured. Just continue to monitor fetal movement and avoid situations where oxygen deprivation may occur, and that will be fine.
