Signs of starting fights
Contractions called regular uterine contractions. Thanks to them, the cervix dilates, and the baby passes through the birth canal. Most childbirth begins with fights. But it is important not to confuse the real battle with the so-called, practice, ie, Braxton Hicks contractions.
At the beginning of fights, there are the following features:
- woman feels pain in the abdomen pulling character, they can also be given in the lower back, legs and even the intestines
- often in women during labor a desire to go to the toilet
- unlike training bouts, real contractions are regular, the interval is gradually reduced between them, and the intensity of each subsequent bout grows as the duration
- if you put a hand to his stomach during fight time, a woman will feel that it is very hard when the fight takes place, the stomach becomes soft again
- if the real fight, a woman can not sleep, her health may deteriorate the appearance of nausea or vomiting

As the battle begins
What should be the interval starts fights?
- The first contractions appear every 20-30 minutes, the duration of the bout very small, usually up to 10 seconds
- Gradually, the interval is reduced, first becomes 15-20 minutes, then 10-15. When the interval between the fights is only 5 minutes, the woman is time to go to the hospital
- The duration of the fight in the meantime grows up to 40-50 seconds, and maybe up to a minute and a half. These contractions are already considered strong and productive, they actively help the cervix to open

You need to settle the battles and their duration
How long do training fights begin?
Weak training bouts may occur since 30 weeks of pregnancy, closer to childbirth from the barely noticeable they will become more intense.
Brequeston-Hicks can be distinguished from the real following:
- they are not regular
- the intervals between the fights are changing arbitrarily, they are not shortening
- duration Fight small
- feel like a metering of uterus, they are practically painless
- training Intensity Fights Little
- they pass after a while, usually in a couple of hours
Frequently repetitive training fights should serve as a reason for accessing a doctor if they appear more often than 10 times a day or more than 4 times in an hour. Also consult a doctor if the contractions are painful or if bleeding from the vagina will begin.

Training fights
How to understand that the fights started at primible?
If a woman is a mother for the first time, she, of course, is more difficult to distinguish the beginning of real fights from training, however, most women will notice changes in their condition and well-being. The fights are rather painful, so it is difficult to confuse them with something else. Pulling pain, belly petrol reason to take the clock and record time. To dispel the last doubts, look at your records:
- if you notice a clear frequency
- gradual cutting of the intervals between fights
- increase their duration
so you started childbirth and it's time to check if you were collected in the maternity hospital.

Start Fights at the primary
How to understand that the fights started in repeatedly?
If you are preparing to become a mom not for the first time, you will most likely not have training fights, because In contrast to the real, they are not called to the opening of the cervix, their task to stretch the muscles. With repeated pregnancy, training fights most likely will not be, because The muscles of the woman became more elastic.
Also, repeatedly women are usually ragged, because The cervix is \u200b\u200balready stretched and faster opens, therefore the contractions are developing intensively, the intervals between them are reduced faster.
Based on this, you need to remember that with the departure of the maternity hospital should not be delayed if you started the fight.
True, if more than 10 years have passed after the previous birth, then most likely your body has fully recovered and already "does not remember" the first birth, and, accordingly, all processes will proceed as slowly as the first time.

Real fights
Water moved: When will the fight begin?
- Waters can move both before the battle, and already during the birth themselves, and guess when it happens is impossible. In some cases, doctors pierce an integration bubble on medical testimony
- If you have watered water, and there is still no fights, you need to call a doctor or go to the maternity hospital. The main thing is not worried, the child will not remain completely without fluid, because Waters are produced every 3 hours, but it's not worth pulling time - there is a risk of infection, so be sure to remember the time of the departing of the waters and report this to the doctor in the hospital
- Also pay attention to the color of your waters, they must be transparent or slightly whitish or yellowish. If the water is green, you should hurry - the child lacks oxygen. In this case, if the bouts have not yet begun, it is carried out to stimulate the beginning of the generic activity in order to not harm the baby's health

Celebration of waters before childbirth
After what time after moving the plug begins the fight?
- The entire pregnancy of the woman's cervix is \u200b\u200bclosed with a mucous plug, which does not give to penetrate infections in inside. Before childbirth, the plug leaves when the cervix is \u200b\u200bexpanding, and no longer holds it
- The plug looks like thick allocations that can have a reddish or brownish shade. In order not to harm the baby, it is better to refrain from having sex after the plug went out, and instead of the bath it is better to take a shower
- The traffic jam usually leaves a couple of days before the start of childbirth, in some cases it can happen in a week. If the plug went down on an earlier gestation, be sure to inform this doctor
What to do to start fights?
It often happens that 40 weeks of pregnancy have already passed, and the woman has no harbingers of childbirth and it begins to lure the baby outwards, because On this time, the woman is already hard to walk and carry out any home work.

Cleaning in the house to cause contractions
If the birth has not begun on time, the body is needed a small push to start the process. Be sure to discuss with your doctor if you decide to apply one of the described methods.
- "Tightclock Cocktail." He must cook the midwife and drink it only in her presence. This tool either will help immediately, or will not help at all. The base of the cocktail is castor oil, and it acts on the intestines. Often, the uterus reacts to such irritation, then the fights begin
- Baking or tea with cinnamon. Tea drink 2 times a day. Cinnamon has an action on improving blood circulation, in particular the organs of a small pelvis, so it can cause contractions
- Long walks, preferably in the fresh air. The child will put pressure on the pelvis and the cervix under the force of gravity will gradually disperse, the fight will begin. Here you can attribute hikes on the stairs, washing windows and floors with hands. But it is important not to pass a stick and not overdo it, otherwise your body will give back and no birth until it rests
- Hot bath. Take a bath with water temperature of 38 ° C for 10 minutes. This procedure will relax all your muscles, and the relaxed body will get strength for battles. Bath must be taken carefully, because it can slow down blood circulation, so do not take a bath if you are alone at home
- Sex. Select the posture in which you will be comfortable. In sex, the body relaxes, and the orgasm stimulates the muscles in the right place for battles. In addition, in male sperm there is a necessary hormone, stimulating the disclosure of the uterus. The effectiveness of this method is big
- Oxytocin stimulation. Also, there are cases that doctors stimulate the beginning of generic activities on medical testimony with the help of drugs. At the same time they make an injection or put a dropper with oxytocin. After such stimulation, the cervix softens and contractions begin. The side effect of this method is very painful sensations during the battles, but the efficiency can be said to be 100%
- The second medical method of stimulation is the introduction of prostaglandin hormone. To do this, put a candle or introduced gel with the content of this hormone in the vagina. The cervical cervix softens and begins to rhythmically shrink, which provokes the contractions, but their sore effect is also their pain. Here is 50 to 50 efficiency, may not help the first time
- Tampon impregnated with oil cloves. Introduced by a doctor in the hospital in the vagina. The clove oil softens the neck of the uterus and makes it more supple. According to statistics in half cases, when it is necessary to stimulate childbirth, it helps a tampon with cloves, but this method does not have side effects
- Receiving capsules with primrose oil. By appointment of a doctor, take 1 capsule 3 times a day for a week. In oil contain substances that help soften the neck and shorten it. Gently take this oil - the appearance of an allergic reaction
- Massage Stop. A specialist massages certain zones at the feet of the woman, while the blood circulation is improved in the pelvis, which can be stimulated by the uterus to the beginning
- Massage cervix. The doctor neatly massages the neck and tries to free part of the fetal bubble adjacent to the cervix. Such manipulation provokes the production of oxytocin - the hormone of the stimulating bout. Side effect - the soreness of the procedure, there are bleeding after it
- Planned amniotomy. It is done only by a doctor in the hospital according to the testimony - a fret bubble is revealed. At the same time, the child gives more pressure on the pelvis, which causes an increase in generic activity. Often, this method is used for planned genera by the cesarean section, so that the child and the uterus passed the initial stage of childbirth, due to which the postpartum adaptation and the cutting of the uterus will be held
Each method can affect or, on the contrary, do not affect a specific guinea.
We draw your attention to the fact that before testing any of the above methods, be sure to consult a doctor, because There are many cases when labor stimulation is dangerous, both for the health of the mother and the health and life of the child.
How to behave when the fight begin?
There are several periods of birth, characterized by the duration of the fights and intervals between them. Each period has its recommendations, testimony and contraindications, i.e. What can you do, which is impossible and what you need to do.

For the same reason, it is impossible to scream during the battles.
