- “an 'irritable uterus' means simply that your uterus contracts
without causing any changes in your cervix, or labor.” (Childbirth.org)
- “’Uterine irritability’ is a term used to describe the phenomenon
that prior to the onset of labor, the uterus can contract in a
disorganized fashion (during pregnancy),” explains Dr. Laura Klein,
an OB-GYN at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “Rather
than strong contractions that come and go every few minutes there
can be kind of a constant low level twitching of the muscle.” Most
of the time these contractions are simply a nuisance and don’t lead
to labor. (Babyzone.com)
Based on the above definitions, women are
generally advised to relax and not worry about the condition or the
pain.
