Sinkhole
Senkwehen (Braxton Hicks contractions open the cervix not) care during pregnancy in the mother of a baby that the baby deeper into the pelvis slips mother and a convenient location for the birth takes.
With the first child, this usually happens earlier (four to six weeks before birth), the second often only slips into the mother's pelvis shortly before birth because it is already positioned lower.
The contractions have little effect on the cervix . In contrast to the opening contractions , the intervals between the contractions are irregular - there can be hours or days between the individual contractions.
Subjectively, one feels the contractions as an uncomfortable pulling down in the abdomen, which can radiate into the thighs and the back. Sometimes they are even found to be extremely painful.
