Braxton Hicks Contractions

Hooo yeahh... Morning y'all! :D

Eh kejap, assalamualaikum~ hikhik :)


Dalam entry Yun yang sama pasal CGB tu, ada gak Yun citer pasal perut mengeras tu kan? Yes, aku pon dah start gak rasa sket2 since last week kalo tak silap. Tapi masa pi RSAT, takde plak aku terpikir nak tanya kat nurse2 yang attend aku sebabnya masa tu appointment aku kat RSAT hanya untuk check BP. And bila bacaan BP pon cam hampeh, lagi la rasa down malas nak pikir ape2. Semalam tetibe mood nak reread semula entry Yun tu and baca semua komen, barula aku tau ape kebendanya perut 'mengeras' tu.

Kebetulan plak, semalam tengahari, nurse kat RSAT tepon aku, dorang nak datang buat lawatan rumah. LAWATAN ke RUMAH ok?? hehe :)) Part yang ni nanti aku citer later ye. Masa nurse2 tu datang, time tu aku tanya dorang pasal perut 'mengeras' ni sebab curious jugak bila baca entry Yun, Dr. Zarul siap nak bagi ubat jangan bagi mengeras tuh.

They said, it is a Braxton Hicks Contraction. Contraction dengan cara perut mengeras tapi bukan disekalikan dengan sakit. Sekadar mengeras for a few seconds pastu hilang trus. Time pregnant nak masuk 8bulan ni memang biasa keadaan ni berlaku. Kata nurse tu lagi, bukan baby yang mengeras tapi rahim kita yang tengah prektis2 mengecut untuk real contraction for labour. Tengah prektis je ok. Tapi, bila dah datang sekali ngan sakit tu, itu yang bahaya sebab kalo baru masuk 8 bulan dah kena macam tu, it means tanda2 awal bersalin. Ye ar, kalo 8 bulan dah sakit2, kan baby tengah tak cukup bulan nak bersalin pon... mintak dijauhkan dari kita2 ni ye. Semoga baby aku + baby m2b yang len cukup term. Amin~~

Sakit yang dimaksudkan tu ialah sakit yang bermula daripada atas rahim (near your chest), turun ke bawah dibawa ke sakit2 bahagian belakang (pinggang) dan seterusnya sakit kat ari-ari. Orang kata macam sakit senggugut.

I've been reading this books by Dr. Miriam Stoppard free by FRISO Mum Gold masa awal2 aku minum FRISO dulu. She said;

"Braxton Hicks contraction is happened when your uterus practises for the strong contractions needed in labour with weak, irregular contractions. Most women feel these during the last few months. If you place your hand on your abdomen, you may feel a hardening and tightening of your uterus which lasts for approximately 25seconds. Unlike real labour contractions, these usually painless, although some women find it uncomfortable. If you do feel any discomfort, sit down quietly until the feeling eases. You may find you get more and stronger Braxton Hicks contractions as real labour approaches. This is your body's way of preparing the cervix to dilate and increasing the circulation of blood to the placenta.

When you feel a run of Braxton Hicks, practice the relaxation techniques you're going to use during labour; the tightening and relaxing of your uterus will give you a good idea of how a contraction feels as is waxes, and then wanes."

Jadinya, kalo rasa mengeras kat perut tu, bukan baby yang mengeras ye kawan2... hehe :) Minded kita memang akan pikir yang baby tu mengeras, but noooo... Itu rahim yang mengecut. Sebab bila rahim mengecut, rahim tu menolak baby keluar (when the real labour is happening).

As in my case plak, nurse tu kata kalo la aku kena Braxton Hicks yang kuat, datang je RSAT, dia akan check urin aku. Sebab my possibility to have darah tinggi kan quite big, so, nurse kata, if kencing kotor pon boleh menyebabkan berlaku pengerasan yang kerap jugak. Same macam kita mengalami keluarnya keputihan yang sampai gatal2 tu. Alhamdulillah, setakat ni urin aku normal, keputihan pon takde.
