The law also recognises the crime of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, where grievous bodily harm is defined as "harm which in itself is such as seriously to interfere with health". The common law crime of indecent assault was repealed by the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007, and replaced by a statutory crime of sexual assault.

The key is to differentiate Braxton Hicks contractions from true labor contractions (see Table 1 above). Most commonly, Braxton Hicks contractions are weak and feel like mild cramping that occurs in a localized area in the front abdomen at an infrequent and irregular rhythm (usually every 10-20 minutes), with each contraction lasting up to 2 minutes. They may be associated with certain triggers and can disappear and reappear; they do not get more frequent, longer, or stronger over the course of the contractions. However, as the end of a pregnancy approaches, Braxton Hicks contractions tend to become more frequent and more intense.On a physical exam, some uterine muscle tightening may be palpable, but there should be no palpable contraction in the uterine fundus and no cervical changes or cervical dilation. Braxton Hicks contractions do not lead to birth.More concerning symptoms that may require assessment by a healthcare professional include:
Any bleeding or fluid leakage from the vagina
Contractions that are strong, frequent (every 5 minutes), and persisting for an hour
Changes or significant decreases in fetal movement

Management
Although there is no specific medical treatment for Braxton Hicks contractions, some alleviating factors include:
Adequate hydration
Drinking warm milk, herbal tea, or having a small meal
Urination to empty a full bladder
Rhythmic breathing
Lying down on the left side
A mild change in movement or activity level
Relaxing and de-stressing (e.g., a massage, nap, or warm bath)
Trying other pain management techniques (e.g., practices from childbirth preparation class)

History
Braxton Hicks contractions are named after John Braxton Hicks, the English physician who first wrote about them in Western medicine.
