Presence of contractions that occur more frequently than every 2 minutes or last longer than 90 seconds in the presence of late decelerations. Requires repeat testing on following day. [1] Equivocal—Unsatisfactory: Fewer than three contractions occur within 10 minutes, or a tracing quality that cannot be interpreted.
In the early follicular phase, uterine contractions in the non-pregnant woman occur 1–2 times per minute and last 10–15 seconds with a low intensity of usually 30 mmHg or less. This sub-endometrial layer is rich in estrogen and progesterone receptors. [3] The frequency of contractions increases to 3–4 per minute towards ovulation.
Regular contractions occurring less than 10 minutes apart and progressive cervical dilation or cervical effacement. [46] At least three painful regular uterine contractions during a 10-minute period, each lasting more than 45 seconds. [47]
The patient experiences more than five contractions in 10 minutes over a 30 minute time period [1] The patient experiences a series of single contractions with a duration of at least two minutes [1] The patient experiences contractions with normal duration, but the contractions occur within one minute of each other [1]
The decrease in FHR is at least 15 beats per minute, lasting at least 15 seconds but less than 2 minutes in duration. [7] When variable decelerations are associated with uterine contractions, their onset, depth, and duration commonly vary with successive uterine contractions. [citation needed]
“How long a person should wait between orgasms definitely depends,” says Johnson. “For younger people, this period will likely be shorter.” 18) Introduce some nipple play.
Other means of natural cervical ripening include nipple stimulation, which produces oxytocin, a hormone which is necessary for uterine contractions. Nipple stimulation can be performed manually, by use of a breast pump, or by suckling. Henci Goer, in her comprehensive book, The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth, details how this practice ...
Then adding up those numbers generated by each contraction within a 10-minute window. For example, five contractions occurred, producing peak pressures of 55, 50, 45, 65, and 50 mm Hg, respectively. The resting tone of the contractions is 10. 55-10 = 45 50-10 = 40 45-10 = 35 65-10 = 55 50-10 = 40 45+40+35+55+40 = 215 MVUs
