All future mothers experience excitement before childbirth.Particularly afraid of this process are the pervasive representatives of the weaker sex. They have a lot of questions about their own behavior, the duration and painfulness of the procedure. If you are interested in the frequency of labor before the birth, the article is written about it.
There are several varieties of labor before delivery. They all differ in strength, periodicity, duration and end-point of the process.
To tell you how the fights are felt during childbirth(periodicity, duration and intensity of the process), it is necessary to define this concept. Skirmishes are called involuntary contractions of the genital organ - the uterus. A woman can not independently manage this process or somehow control it.
Запускает схватки вещество актомиозин – which shortens the protein. It is produced by the placenta, as well as the pituitary gland of the embryo under the action of certain hormones. The process of fights is very complex, and it is quite difficult for him to understand the inexperienced person in this area. When the synthesis of actomyosin is violated or its spatial distribution is irregular, there are various complications in childbirth. These include weak, unproductive labor, a decrease in the labor of the parturient woman.
It's not always time to fight beforechildbirth. What is the frequency of pathological uterine contractions? This question is for sure not even an experienced gynecologist can answer. Much depends on the period of pregnancy.
Угроза прерывания может возникнуть в первом trimester. This happens most often. At the same time, the sensations in women are as follows: drawing pain in the lower abdomen, liquefaction of the stool, lumbago in the lower back. Often, the threat of termination of pregnancy at these times is associated with an insufficient allocation of progesterone. When carrying out appropriate therapy, signs of pathology, like the problem itself, can be eliminated.
Во втором триместре начинающиеся схватки могут says already about the threat of premature birth. The reasons for this may be a lot: physical activity, sexual contact, cervical insufficiency, stress and so on. At this time, the bouts are already felt more clearly. Some patients can even talk about periodicity and detect the duration of uterine contractions.
Approximately from the middle of pregnancy future motherscan mark new sensations. False contractions before birth, the frequency of which is very different, most often do not pose any danger. At the time of contraction of the uterus, the woman feels tension in the abdomen, which does not give her painful sensations. This state lasts from a few seconds to a minute. Repeat a false fight can in a few hours or days.
Predictive reduction of the genital organIncreases with the increase in the period. Before giving birth, a woman marks Braxton-Hicks contractions every day. Such spasms help to prepare the cervix for childbirth: soften and shorten it. If you feel a false fight, then be sure to tell your doctor about it. It is necessary to make sure of their real safety.
How are contractions manifested during childbirth? What is the frequency of uterine contractions? Here are the main signs of the onset of labor:
The frequency of labor during labor can be from 2 minutes to an hour. It all depends on the stage of the process. Consider them.
Как ощущаются схватки перед родами?The periodicity of uterine contractions is always steadily decreasing. At the very beginning, a woman can note weak pulling sensations in the lower abdomen and lower back for up to 20 seconds. The interval between contractions is 15-30 minutes.
In the latent phase, the expectant mother may take a shower andprepare for childbirth. Given the integrity of the fetal bladder, the maternity does not experience severe discomfort. However, you should not sit at home. Go to the chosen medical institution.
Such uterine contractions last at least 20-30seconds (up to a minute). They are repeated regularly, the interval is gradually reduced and is from 2 to 5 minutes. Painful sensations in this period become more pronounced. It is already difficult for a future mother to move about. Often at this stage of labor, a fetal bladder bursts and water flows. If this is the case, then now the process will go much faster.
The duration of the active phase can be different.On average, it is from 2 to 5 hours. If integrity of fetal membranes is preserved, the pain sensations are significantly blunted, and the process proceeds more slowly.
There is an interesting feature thatcontractions before giving birth. The periodicity of uterine contractions decreases by the time of opening the cervix. In other words, once the birth canals are ready for the baby's passage, the frequency of contractions will decrease. If in the active phase you can feel painful cuts every two minutes, now the break will be in 3-4 minutes. The extension of the period will allow the mother to mend the fetus, using every contraction.
During the attempts, the future mother feels strongpressure on the bottom. Many compare it with the urge to defecate. During this period it is very important to listen to the doctor. Incorrect and untimely strain can lead to ruptures of birthmarks of different degrees.
Если у вас начались схватки перед родами (the frequency of 20 minutes or less), you need to collect all the necessary things and go to the maternity hospital. Tell your doctor about all your sensations. Tell us about the duration and frequency of labor. A gynecologist or an obstetrician will conduct an examination and will be able to tell you exactly whether you are giving birth or are only forerunners.
Doctors remind patients that the second andfurther births always pass faster than the first. Therefore, if you are preparing to become a mother again, do not delay visiting the maternity hospital. Surely you already know about what fights are and what their periodicity is. In the case of rupture of the bladder and the discharge of the amniotic fluid, it is necessary to go to the maternity hospital even in the absence of fights. Easy for you childbirth and well-being!
