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.
What causes false contractions?
False contractions, also known as Braxton Hicks contractions, are caused by the body's preparation for labor. They occur as the uterus tightens and relaxes in response to hormonal changes, typically in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. These contractions are usually irregular and painless, serving to tone the uterine muscles and help the body practice for the actual labor process. Stress, dehydration, or increased physical activity can also trigger these contractions.
Been having a lot of mild contractions 38 weeks pregnant is labor soon?
What you are experiencing is called Braxton-Hicks contractions. It is perfectly normal. It is the body's way of "practicing" for the real thing. As long as there is no constant pressure on the floor of the pelvis or discharge of blood or liquid, the mild contractions you are feeling is not a threat. Your baby will be born when he or she is ready. The B-H contractions do not mean labor will begin any sooner than is proper.
