Contraction de Braxton Hicks
La contraction de Braxton Hicks (ou fausse contraction) est une contraction isolée de l'utérus qui survient à partir de la sixième semaine de grossesse, quoique la plupart des femmes la ressente seulement à partir du second ou troisième trimestre de leur grossesse. Elle prépare le corps à l'accouchement, sans entraîner de dilatation du col de l'utérus, contrairement aux contractions utérines du travail.
Elle est nommée en hommage à John Braxton Hicks, le médecin qui l'a décrite en 1872, alors qu'il constatait des contractions chez des femmes bien antérieurement à la date prévisible de l'accouchement [1].
