31 weeks pregnant, hard and tight stomach

Generally speaking, a hard belly at 31 weeks of pregnancy is most likely due to uterine contractions and hidden contraction of the uterus, which is very important during childbirth, because the most important thing during childbirth is to deliver the baby through uterine contractions, which generally have no periodicity. Next, let us understand why the stomach becomes hard and tight at 31 weeks of pregnancy?

Why is my stomach hard and tight at 31 weeks of pregnancy?

Lie down and rest, don't be excited, don't be too anxious. When the baby grows up, the indoor space is limited, and the mother will feel uncomfortable if the baby moves a little more. As long as the pain is not persistent and there is no bleeding or rupture of amniotic fluid, there is no big problem. Bao mothers still remember that it is best to count the baby's fetal movements three times a day, at least once before going to bed, so that there is a data record, which can better identify the baby's situation in the belly.

What to know at 31 weeks of pregnancy

1. Avoid excessive intake of high-calorie foods: The dietary structure in the late pregnancy should be effective. You should eat more vegetables and fresh fruits, eat moderate amounts of whole grains and coarse grains, and eat less plant oil ingredients such as meat, oil, dried fruits, and animal offal.

2. Pain in the abdomen, back and limbs: In the late pregnancy, the fetus grows rapidly and the mother's abdomen expands significantly. When standing up, the abdomen protrudes forward and the center of gravity of the human body shifts. In order to maintain the balance of the body, the pregnant mother's upper body will lean backward to balance the protruding abdomen.

3. Increased urination frequency: In the later stages of pregnancy, the mother's kidneys are under increased pressure and filter 30%-50% more blood than before pregnancy, resulting in more urine. In addition, as the fetus grows, the mother's uterus enlarges, putting more pressure on the bladder. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment. Pregnant mothers just need to pay attention not to hold their urine and go to the bathroom immediately.

You don't need to worry too much when you encounter this kind of situation, because it is normal for the belly to become bigger, harder and tighter. There is no regularity, no time limit, and the frequency is also different. But we all know that with the approaching delivery time of pregnant women, the uterus will contract more and more. As long as there is no extreme pain, there is no big problem.
