There are several types of labor contractions. During the fourth month of pregnancy, there is a contraction in the uterus from time to time. They are referred to as Braxton-Hicks contractions. Regular contraction occurring before 37 weeks of pregnancy is referred to as preterm labor contractions. During the early stage of labor contractions, contractions occur mildly, lasting for 30 to 90 seconds. During active labor contractions, they become more intense, and it lasts for 45 seconds to seconds with five minutes of rest.
