Absence or low individual and public risk
False labour - what does this mean
False labour, also known as braxton hicks contractions, is a common occurrence during pregnancy. it is caused by the tightening of the uterus, usually in the third trimester, as the body prepares for childbirth. these contractions are usually irregular and unpredictable, and often feel like a tightening or cramping in the abdomen. false labour is usually harmless, but it is important to contact a doctor or midwife if the contractions become regular, painful, or accompanied by other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - false labour
False labour is a condition in which a pregnant woman experiences contractions of the uterus, which are not associated with labour. it is caused by the release of oxytocin, a hormone produced by the body to trigger labour. false labour is often triggered by stress, dehydration, or other physical activities that stimulate the uterus. it can also be caused by an infection in the uterus or a stretching of the uterine wall. false labour can be painful and uncomfortable, but it does not lead to birth. treatment involves rest, hydration, and relaxation techniques.
