Before the beginning of labor in a pregnant woman, so-called contractions-precursors begin. They are a contraction of the uterus muscles, which periodically recur and quickly pass. The long-awaited moment of childbirth is approaching, and very soon you will see your baby.
How to distinguish fights from harbingers?
Do not worry about that you can skip fights-harbingers, their sensations will not fail to notice. These false muscular contractions can begin several weeks before the birth, they are sometimes mistaken for birth pains, but you will never confuse the real ones - they differ significantly from the precursors.
Since the uterus is a muscular organ, it needs training. Therefore, false bouts can be called the preparation of the uterus for the forthcoming birth, that's how the precursors differ from the fights.
With such training fights should not be any discharge, and the more bloody. Template or standard descriptions of sensations of this phenomenon are not present, as at each woman they pass individually, some describe them as discomfort at a diarrhea, others compare to menstrual pains, and the third practically feel nothing. It depends on what sensitivity the pain threshold is in a pregnant woman. The main thing is, when this happens, you do not need to be nervous, such training of the uterus is quite normal. But if you are still very worried, then consult a doctor, tell him about the sensations and if everything is all right, relax, calm down, talk to the baby and tune in to a positive wave, because very soon you will meet with your long-awaited miracle!
What is the difference between training fights during the second pregnancy?
Contractions of harbingers during the second birth have differences. Usually they start at 32 or 34 weeks. But during the second pregnancy, false bouts can already begin at 20 weeks. They can occur at different times, painlessly and irregularly. Also, the abdomen may fall and weight loss will drop a few days before the birth itself, when in the first pregnancy this occurs within a few weeks.
False contractions, or forerunners, are characterized only by a slight short-term contraction of the uterine muscles, which are very short and rhythmic in time. And during real bouts the cervix of the uterus begins to open, at which time the mucocutaneous bloody plug comes out. She clogged the cervix the entire period of pregnancy. At this time, you can slowly begin to gather in the hospital. After the exit of the cork, when the contractions become more frequent and intensified, the passage of the amniotic fluid can begin at any time. They can go away little by little because the head of the baby delays them, but it happens that the waters are flowing out. It is not possible to use gaskets during such moments, it is necessary to put a clean wafer towel or a cotton sheet between your legs.
It is worth remembering that in any case, fights are precursors of childbirth. For a couple of weeks before the appointed time, you need to listen carefully to your body, which always tells you what to expect, because birth can begin at any time. Ahead is a difficult process for you and your baby, but what is this, in comparison with the feeling when you put your favorite creature on your chest! Easy for you childbirth and happy motherhood!
