Question
Today, during a fetal monitoring at 7 minutes, I experienced a single uterine contraction. Will it cause premature labor? Do I need oxygen therapy? Do I need to be hospitalized?
Answer
Uterine contractions are generally considered normal and usually do not lead to premature labor. As long as there are no other discomforts, you can temporarily observe the situation. You can perform oxygen therapy at home, but it is not necessary. It’s important to relax your mind. It is recommended to receive timely antenatal treatment to suppress uterine contractions.
