Braxton Hicks contractions are irregular, intermittent contractions, usually felt toward the end of the pregnancy, although some women experience these contractions throughout the second half of their pregnancy. True labor contractions increase in intensity and duration.

For two or more medications, give separately. Attach the syringe, pour 30 cc of one medication, open the clamp, rinse with 5 cc water, pour remaining medication into the tube, and flush with 30 to 50 cc water.
