Patient's question:
Ten days are left until the due date, and many friends say that the due date is not exact. These last two days, I always feel my uterus contracting, and there is a tight sensation, but no bleeding. It's just that my abdomen feels uncomfortable, and fetal movements occur from time to time.What kind of help do I need: What are the symptoms of contractions before labor?
Doctor's answer:
When the uterus contracts, it becomes hard. If the contractions reach a certain level, pain may occur. The general symptom is a cramping, intermittent feeling of hardness and tightness in the abdomen. These are usually false contractions, and most people experience pain in waves, which are called contractions. The stronger the contractions, the more intense the pain. A few people may not have obvious abdominal pain but may experience a sensation of heaviness or lower back pain. The abdomen becomes hard in a very regular pattern, about every 5-6 minutes. The spotting you mentioned does not occur in everyone, and the time of water breaking varies.
