Seven months pregnant, the stomach is tight and hard

I believe that many people who have experienced this know that, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women may be more sensitive due to some physical or psychological reasons, and they are prone to feel that there are problems here and there. Some pregnant women have reported that their abdomens become tight and hard during the seventh and a half months of pregnancy. What is the reason for this?

The first situation may be that the pregnant woman’s abdominal pain is caused by uterine contraction. Because the fetus has grown quite large in the late pregnancy, its weight will also increase a lot. It is possible that the posture of the fetus in the pregnant mother has pressed the mother's nerves, causing the mother to feel sore. This is normal. When the fetus is replaced, the symptoms may be relieved.

The second situation may be that the pregnant woman is exposed to too much external stimulation. At this time, you should avoid strenuous exercise and it is not suitable to do postures that compress the abdomen. Standing for a long time and compressing the upper body can easily cause varicose veins or leg edema. Regularly raising the feet to rest can better avoid these problems. If varicose veins occur, stretch socks should be worn to relieve the symptoms. In order to meet the nutritional needs of this stage, pregnant women should add more bean protein, eat more tofu and drink more soy milk on the basis of their mid-pregnancy diet. In order to meet the need for more calcium, you should eat more seafood such as kelp and seaweed. In order to meet the need for vitamins, eat more animal livers.

The third situation may be that the pregnant mother's uterus is also slowly expanding. The enlarged uterus constantly stimulates the outer edge of the ribs, which can cause rib pain in pregnant women. Generally speaking, this is physiological and does not require special treatment. Sleeping on the left side during pregnancy can help relieve pain. In the late pregnancy, pregnant mothers sometimes experience lower abdominal pain due to false labor during the night. The pain usually lasts only a few seconds and can last for several hours. It is not accompanied by a feeling of falling and the symptoms can be relieved during the day.

In fact, in the late pregnancy, as long as the pregnant woman's body parameters are normal, there will be no big problem. Regarding the problem of hardening and tightening of the abdomen in the seventh month of pregnancy, it is basically a normal symptom of the pregnancy process. However, if the pregnant woman or her family is still worried, they can go to the hospital for further examination.
