What Do Painless Contractions During Pregnancy Indicate?
Question: I am 28 week 2 days pregnant. I am having painless contraction 8-9 times everyday from the past 5 days. Do i need to be concerned?. My baby movement is normal
Brief Answer:
Just normal contractions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The mild painless contractions that you are having are normal during pregnancy and are called XXXXXXX Hick's contractions. If there is any pain associated with these or the baby's movements reduce then it is worrisome and you will need an ultrasound scan and a non stress test in that case after consulting your gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
