Braxton Hicks contractions, also known as "false labor," can often confuse expectant mothers, especially as they near their due date. In this Mayo Clinic Health System video, we'll explain how these mild and irregular contractions help tone the uterus in preparation for labor but are typically painless and less intense than true labor contractions. Many women wonder how to differentiate between Braxton Hicks and real labor, and this video provides a clear explanation of the key differences. Learn how to recognize the signs, time your contractions and what to do if you're unsure whether labor has begun.
We’ll also discuss how to manage the discomfort caused by Braxton Hicks contractions. You'll learn helpful techniques like changing positions, taking a warm bath and practicing deep breathing exercises to find relief. If you’re ever unsure whether your contractions are real or false labor, it's important to consult your healthcare professional for peace of mind.
