Pregnant woman's stomach suddenly becomes very hard

After a woman becomes pregnant, she will pay special attention to her abdomen, especially in the second half of pregnancy, because she is worried that the baby will suddenly start to conceive. Many pregnant women are prone to having a hard abdomen in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. So what is going on with a hard abdomen? What is going on with a pregnant woman's abdomen suddenly becoming very hard?

What is the reason for a hard belly in a pregnant woman?

If a pregnant woman experiences a hard stomach in the middle and late stages of pregnancy and also experiences intermittent abdominal pain, this may be caused by uterine contractions. If the uterine contractions are irregular, this may be what is commonly known as false labor. If the uterine contractions occur regularly, this may be a sign of labor.

If a pregnant woman suddenly feels that her abdomen is very hard, it may be caused by false labor. False labor mostly occurs a few weeks before a pregnant woman gives birth. At this time, the pregnant woman's uterine muscles are relatively sensitive, and there will be irregular contractions without periodicity, and sometimes only in the lower part of the uterus. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. False labor lasts for a relatively short time. This type of uterine contraction will not cause the cervix to dilate and is not painful. Pregnant women will only feel their abdomen tightening and hardening. Pay attention to rest more in the late pregnancy, avoid catching a cold, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and avoid sexual life as much as possible.

What should I do if my pregnant belly is hard?

Sometimes if a woman maintains a posture for a long time, it is easy to cause false labor. At this time, you can change your posture or lie down and rest for a while. If the hardening of the abdomen is caused by false labor, it will be relieved. If it is a real uterine contraction, it will become more serious.

If a pregnant woman experiences false labor, she can try taking a bath and taking deep breaths to relieve her stress. Don't put too much pressure on yourself because your stomach feels hard. In fact, this is a normal and abnormal situation. As long as you can stay calm, there will be no big problem.
