Restless uterus

Anne
Yesterday at a CTG scan, it showed that my uterus is restless, as usual my mind only starts working properly once I leave the hospital :-(
Does anyone have an idea what this means? Is labor coming up? I can't find anything online about this topic.

Greetings, Anne

    Hi Anne, that means something is going on. Practice contractions, early labor contractions, etc., etc., but you can't really conclude from that that you're going to give birth soon.

    It does indeed look like practice contractions, and that's totally normal for the stage you're at right now If you start having contractions that come more than 8 times an hour and return at a certain interval, you should contact your OB/GYN or midwife. Otherwise, it's all part of the process, and your uterus is already practicing for the delivery. It can still take weeks before the real thing starts, so don't worry!
