Patient's question:
18 weeks pregnant, amniotic cavity injection of 100mg of ritodrine for 35 hours still no uterine contractionsDoctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of Braxton Hicks contractions, which often occur after the seventh month of pregnancy. These are not true labor contractions and generally have little impact on the body when they occur occasionally. If they are more frequent, treatments such as magnesium sulfate can be used to suppress the contractions. Monitor closely, and seek timely treatment if the fetal heart rate is abnormal.Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of potential genetic risks for fetal development should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should ensure a comfortable environment, which also aids in rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
