Health prescription for preterm labor signs

Premature birth refers to the termination of pregnancy between 28 to 37 weeks. At this time, the newborn has a low birth weight and is not fully developed. Therefore, if there are abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or vaginal discharge before 37 weeks, one should immediately go to the hospital for treatment to prevent premature birth. Signs of impending premature birth include irregular contractions or slight regular contractions, with the cervical opening not dilated more than 3 cm. If contractions become regular and gradually stronger, occurring every 5 to 10 minutes and lasting more than 30 seconds, and the cervical opening is dilated more than 3 cm, then premature birth is likely unavoidable. Similar to full-term delivery, attention should be paid to the following points: 1. Rest in bed as much as possible and maintain a pleasant and stable mood. 2. If there is abdominal pain at the same time.

Preterm birth refers to the termination of pregnancy between 28 to 37 weeks. At this time, the newborn has a low birth weight and is not fully developed. Therefore, if there are abdominal pains, vaginal bleeding, or vaginal fluid discharge before 37 weeks, one should immediately go to the hospital for treatment to stabilize the pregnancy. Signs of impending preterm labor include irregular contractions or mild regular contractions, with the cervix dilating less than 3 cm. If contractions become regular and gradually stronger, occurring every 5 to 10 minutes and lasting more than 30 seconds, and the cervix dilates more than 3 cm, preterm birth is likely inevitable. Similar to full-term labor, attention should be paid to the following points:

1. Rest in bed as much as possible and maintain a pleasant and stable mood.

2. If abdominal pain is accompanied by vaginal fluid discharge, one should immediately lie flat and elevate the hips to avoid cord prolapse, which could endanger the fetus's life.

3. Lying on the left side and regularly inhaling oxygen can increase the mother's blood oxygen concentration, thereby increasing the oxygen and nutrients supplied to the fetus.

4. Avoid stimulating the nipples and applying abdominal pressure to prevent contractions.

5. Consume high-fiber and high-vitamin foods, especially vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water to prevent constipation.
