Week 32 of Pregnancy: Braxton Hicks Contractions 第32周：Braxton Hicks 宫缩 When you feel your uterus tightening up, your body is gearing up for the big day. Those irregular practice contractions can be first felt around mid-pregnancy and increase in frequency and strength as your pregnancy progresses. 当你觉得你的子宫变的很紧，你的宝宝正在为重要的一天做准备。在你的怀孕过程中，这 些不定期的第一次练习宫缩的感觉可能会在怀孕中期发生而且频繁地增加和增强。 How do you get to delivery? Practice, practice, practice. You might not be ready for the baby at 32 weeks pregnant (still haven't picked out that nursery color yet), but your body is certainly gearing up for the big day. And you're reminded of this each time you feel your uterus tightening up. Those are Braxton Hicks contractions — irregular practice contractions that can be first felt around mid-pregnancy and increase in frequency and strength as your pregnancy progresses. Many novice moms-to-be don't notice them as much (or feel them as intensely) as those who are pregnant for the second time, but even first timers are aware of them occasionally. As you get closer to term, they'll become stronger (beginning at the top of your uterus and spreading downward), longer (lasting 15 to 30 seconds or as long as two minutes), and even a little painful. 你如何分娩呢?练习、练习、再练习。你可能还没有准备好在32周怀孕的时候，迎接你的 宝宝。(尚未选好宝宝房间的颜色)，但是你的身体确实地正在为这重要的一天做准备。每 一天你的子宫紧缩，这就正在提醒你，这天的到来。这是 Braxton Hicks 宫缩--在你的 怀孕过程中，这些不定期的的练习宫缩可能会在怀孕中期发生而且频繁地增加和增强。不 像怀孕第二胎的妈妈，很多新手妈妈不会察觉到宫缩。怀孕二胎以上的妈妈们甚至可以在 怀孕早期就察觉到了。当你愈接近妊娠，宫缩将变的更强(从你的子宫上端开始，往下散 扩散)、更长久(持续15至30秒或2分钟长)，甚至有点痛觉。 Braxton Hicks contractions are part of prelabor; in effect a warm-up for the real thing. And though they are not true labor and do not dilate or efface the cervix, they may be difficult to distinguish from real labor as they become more intense. To help with the discomfort of Braxton Hicks contractions, change positions (lie down if you're walking around, get up if you're in bed) or take a warm bath. If the contractions do not go away with a change in activity, and become progressively stronger and more regular, you may be in real labor, so be sure to put in a call to your practitioner. Braxton Hicks 宫缩是分娩前兆一部份，实际上是真正宫缩的暖身。虽然它不是真正的分 娩而且也不会打开子宫颈，当它变的更强烈时，可能很难与真正的分娩区分。改变姿势( 如果你在走动的话，躺下来、如果你在床上的话，起床)或冲个暖水浴，来帮助Braxton Hicks 宫缩的不舒服。如你已经做了以上的改变，宫缩还是持续着，变得逐渐增强和增属 ，你可能就是真的在分娩了，就要打电话给你的医生了。 资料来源 http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/your-body/week-32/braxton-hicks-contractions.aspx?xid=nl_YourDailyNewsletterfromWhattoExpect_20100201 --
