True vs. False Labor

When it comes to labor, distinguishing between true and false labor is essential. Let’s go over the differences based on the characteristics of contractions and cervical changes. Frequency of Contractions ✅True Labor: Predictable and regular. ❌False Labor: Unpredictable and irregular Intensity of Contractions ✅ True Labor: Persistent, gets stronger, longer, and closer together over time. Worsens with walking and does not resolve with comfort measures ❌ False Labor: Inconsistent intensity—sometimes weak, sometimes strong. Improves with comfort measures and walking Location of Discomfort ✅True Labor: Discomfort radiates from low back to abdomen with pressure starting at the top of the uterus ❌False Labor: Discomfort localized in the front of the abdomen above the navel, with no radiation Cervical Changes ✅True Labor: Progressive changes like dilation, effacement, bloody show, fetal position changes, and engagement ❌False Labor: No cervical changes 💬 Comment below if you found this helpful, and share it with a fellow nursing student! #nursingschool #nursingstudents #maternity
