In the second trimester, the fetus is generally stable. At this time, the fetus is stable and the pregnancy reaction disappears, which is the most comfortable stage for the mother. But in the second trimester, many pregnant women have frequent uterine contractions. Once such a situation is found, it will be very stressful. So, are uterine contractions frequent and serious in the second trimester?
This is a serious situation. Generally speaking, pregnant women in the second trimester will not have frequent uterine contractions. During the second trimester, pregnant women will not feel obvious pseudo contractions. Only in the middle and later stages of pregnancy can pregnant women feel obvious uterine contractions. Such contractions are pseudocontractions. Pseudocontractions are generally irregular, and their frequency is not fixed. Pregnant mothers generally do not have frequent uterine contractions in the second trimester. Once frequent uterine contractions occur, it indicates that the fetus may have problems and need to seek medical attention in time.
During the second trimester of pregnancy, if the pseudo contractions reach 4 or more times an hour, it is considered as frequent pseudo contractions. If there are frequent pseudocontractions, pregnant mothers must be alert, because this may indicate that there is a problem with the baby in the abdomen, there may be a problem with the placenta, or there may be inflammation in the uterus or too much amniotic fluid. Once such a problem occurs, the fetus may be in danger, and the pregnant mother needs to be treated for fetal protection. If pseudouterine contractions are not treated timely and effectively, the fetus may be in danger.
