What Are the Risks Associated with Regular Contractions?
Although regular contractions are a normal part of labor, they can sometimes lead to complications such as:
- Preterm Labor: Contractions that start before 37 weeks of pregnancy. - Uterine Tachysystole: Excessively frequent contractions that can stress the baby. - Failure to Progress: Contractions that do not lead to cervical dilation or the baby’s descent.
Prompt medical evaluation and intervention are necessary in such cases.
