  1. braxton-hicks contraction

    Braxton-Hicks contractions are intermittent, often painless, contractions of the uterus that may occur during pregnancy. They are also known as "false labor" because they can mimic the sensation of labor but do not lead to actual childbirth. These contractions usually start about halfway through the pregnancy and become stronger and more frequent as the pregnancy progresses, but they may not be noticeable at all for some women.
