At 10 minutes, is it time to give birth?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Is it time to give birth if there is one contraction every 10 minutes at 9 months pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Yes, it's important to be well-prepared for production in a timely manner. Seek medical treatment at the hospital. At the same time, maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and supplement with various vitamins for early recovery.
Since tobacco contains harmful substances such as nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, and radioactive materials, smoking during pregnancy is absolutely harmful. It can affect the growth and development of the fetus, increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and stillbirth, among other adverse outcomes. Newborns from smoking mothers are also weaker in constitution, have lower intelligence, are more prone to illness, and have higher mortality rates. Toxic substances can even lead to congenital heart disease and various birth defects in the fetus. In summary, for pregnant women, smoking not only affects their own health but also hinders the development of the fetus.
