💁♀️Braxton Hicks contractions are uterine contractions that can occur at any time during pregnancy. They are often described as a feeling of tightening or squeezing in the abdomen. They can last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. These contractions are common in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and may increase in frequency and duration as delivery approaches. Braxton Hicks contractions are not the same as labor contractions. Braxton Hicks contractions are not generally painful and do not occur in a regular pattern. In contrast, labor contractions are painful and regular, and typically increase in frequency, duration, and intensity as delivery approaches. 👨⚕️In the following video, Dr. Carlos Ocampo, gynecologist, obstetrician and colposcopist at Clínicas Reina Madre, tells you what you should know about Braxton Hicks contractions. 👩⚕️Remember that an evaluation by a professional is very important. 👉Schedule an appointment at your nearest branch https://reinamadre.mx/sucursales/ Or 📞call us or send us a WhatsApp📱 at (55) 8526 6020 💜We will be happy to assist you💜 00:00 - Intro 00:25 - What are Braxton Hicks contractions? 00:37 - How long do Braxton Hicks contractions last? 00:53 - Are they the same as labor contractions? 01:18 - Are Braxton Hicks contractions normal?
