Patient's question:
Yesterday morning I started spotting, and last night I began having contractions, but they are not very frequent and the duration is relatively short, about 10 to 15 minutes apart, with each contraction lasting 30 seconds to 1 minute. Is this a sign of labor? Should I be hospitalized? What measures can I take to speed up the contractions and expedite delivery? Urgent reply needed!Doctor's answer:
Hello, expectant mother! Congratulations on being about to become a mother!You really do need to be hospitalized, as oxytocin can accelerate delivery. But don’t blindly speed up labor pain—decisions should be made based on the progress of labor. If you want to reduce labor pain, you can opt for painless delivery technology.
Don’t be nervous. With the guidance of doctors and midwives, you will surely meet your baby smoothly! Keep going!
