Patient's question:
I am already 37 weeks pregnant. Recently, I've been feeling that my abdomen is very hard, and I also have occasional pain. My friend said this might be false labor contractions, so I asked my doctor, but the doctor said it's nothing to worry about. I'm afraid this might have an adverse effect on the baby.What kind of help do I need: What are the effects of contractions on the fetus?
Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: Hello, your condition is likely caused by uterine contractions.
