Uterine contractions occur when a pregnant woman goes into labor. The purpose is to dilate the cervix and to push the baby into the vagina, out of the uterus, during birth. The uterus continues to contract after expelling the baby and placenta to clamp down on any bleeding (prevent hemorrhage) and shrink the uterus.
