Generally speaking, whether to walk more or lie down during contractions needs to be judged according to the overall situation of the pregnant woman and the fetus. The behavior of pregnant women during contractions should be judged based on their own state, the corresponding gestational age, and whether they need to protect the fetus during contractions. If abdominal pain and contractions occur in the early and middle stages of pregnancy, you should rest properly at this time to relieve tension and carry out corresponding fetal protection treatments. For example, the use of contraction inhibitors can relieve the degree of contractions and even completely eliminate contractions, so that the pregnancy can continue. If it is the late pregnancy, there is already a threat of labor or labor, proper walking may help relieve the pain and discomfort, and at the same time, it is beneficial for the fetal presenting part to gradually and slowly decline under the action of contractions with the action of gravity, which is beneficial for delivery. Of course, lying down can also get enough rest, which is beneficial for conserving energy, and it is also possible. It is not recommended for pregnant women to walk too much or lift heavy objects during contractions. When they are tired, they can lie down to rest, keep quiet, do not accumulate pressure, and prevent cold, because the lower limbs and waist are too cold, which can easily cause contractions.
