Does catching a cold cause uterine contractions?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

When feeling cold, the blood vessels in the uterus will contract, and the blood circulation to the fetus will be poor, affecting its growth. Therefore, pregnant women must keep warm! A hot water bag can be used for warmth, and regular prenatal check-ups are very necessary. If fetal hypoxia is detected, oxygen therapy is often required.
