How do you time true labor contractions?
You start the timing at the begining of one contraction until the pain stops, and time how long it lasts. This shows how long the contractions are, but in order to get the correct time apart for each contraction you time from the beginning of one contraction to the beginning of the next. This will give you the correct length of the contractions and the correct time for how far apart the contractions are getting. You need to be sure to keep a timer going, and to write all of the times down as soon as you begin your contractions. Be sure to take this information to your hospital or midwives when you go to give birth, they will need to know the timing. - annonymous (information received via a Pregnancy class in Texas)

Im 34 weeks pregnant and having contraction every 5 to 10 minutes apart but not dilated Will you go into labor soon?
Have you spoken to your doctor, obstetrician or midwife about this yet? If not, I really advice phoning them or going to the hospital because your contractions are pretty close together. It is possible that these could still be Braxton Hicks contractions. But they could be the start of labour. It's important to get checked out.

Myometrial contraction during pregnancy can be categorized as: A. Physiological (Normal) B. Pathological (abnormal) C. Drug induced A. Physiological: Early pregnancy- up to 28 weeks or so. a) Asymptomatic localized myometrial contraction (thickening) - considered as of no clinical significance.

State the function of the hormones oxytocin?
Dunno what it does in males (if anything). In females, it stimulates lactation, mostly. If given artificially, it can stimulate contraction of the uterus and parturition (doctors use it to induce labor). But it isn't really clear if the pituitary secretes oxytocin on its own to stimulate labor, or if there is some other mechanism that induces labor.
