False labour, unspecified - what does this mean
False labour, also known as braxton hicks contractions, is a type of uterine contractions that can occur during pregnancy. these contractions are usually irregular and infrequent, and do not cause the cervix to open or the baby to move down the birth canal. they can occur anytime from the second trimester onwards, and can be felt as a tightening of the uterus.
What happens during the disease - false labour, unspecified
False labour, also known as braxton hicks contractions, is a common condition experienced by pregnant women. it is caused by the uterus tightening and releasing in preparation for labour, but with no pain or regularity. this is caused by the hormone relaxin which relaxes the ligaments and muscles of the uterus in preparation for labour, and the hormone oxytocin which stimulates the uterus to contract. false labour can be a confusing and worrying experience for pregnant women, but is usually harmless.
