What is the best indicator of true labor?
The best indicator of true labor is the presence of regular, rhythmic contractions that progressively increase in intensity and frequency. These contractions typically lead to cervical changes, such as dilation and effacement. Unlike Braxton Hicks contractions, true labor contractions do not subside with rest or hydration. Monitoring these patterns can help differentiate true labor from false labor.
What is meant by false Labor or Braxton Hicks Contractions?
False labor, or Braxton Hicks contractions, refers to irregular and often infrequent contractions of the uterus that can occur during pregnancy. Unlike true labor contractions, Braxton Hicks are typically not painful and do not signal the onset of labor. They are often described as a tightening of the abdomen and can occur at any point in the second or third trimester. These contractions serve to prepare the uterus for the eventual labor process.
