30 weeks pregnant, tight and hard stomach

As pregnancy progresses, the time for women to give birth is approaching, and the changes in the body become more obvious, with fetal movements and uterine contractions becoming more frequent. Some pregnant women also experience a hard stomach. Everyone doesn’t know why this is happening. Is it normal to have a hard stomach when you are 30 weeks pregnant?

Is it normal to have a hard belly at 30 weeks of pregnancy?

It is normal to feel a tightness and hardness in the abdomen in the second half of pregnancy. As long as the pain does not become more and more severe and the frequency does not increase, it will not have a major impact on the fetus. It is a false uterine contraction and is related to the sensitivity of the pregnant woman's own uterus. This usually occurs when pregnant women stand up suddenly, walk briskly, or engage in other strenuous activities, so there is no need to take pregnancy-stabilizing drugs. For this reason, if expectant mothers experience such uncomfortable symptoms during pregnancy, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible, and do not blindly follow the trend of prenatal care to avoid hurting the fetus. If a pregnant woman experiences sharp pain and hardening of the abdomen during the 30th week of pregnancy, it is recommended that she go to the hospital for a physical examination and treatment immediately.

How can people with frequent uterine contractions help themselves:

1. Personal Examination

1. During routine prenatal checkups, you should actively inform your doctor, who will help you arrange the most appropriate tests and treatments;

2. If regular and clustered uterine contractions suddenly occur and rest does not improve, it is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination or treatment immediately;

Second, emergency treatment, in the late pregnancy, false labor often can be seen, pregnant mothers can follow the following process to deal with it:

1. Learn to put down the work at hand and take a break, if you can lie down is the best.

2. Differentiate the frequency, intensity, distance and location of uterine contractions.

3. After resting for 30 to 60 minutes, if it is a false uterine contraction, it can be corrected. If it is premature uterine contraction or labor pain, you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

3. Review of key points

If the frequency of uterine contractions is normal, and occurs once every 5 to 8 minutes, and each contraction lasts 1 to 2 minutes, and if the pregnant woman is already 37 weeks pregnant, it may be a sign of labor (pathological pain), and she needs to go to the hospital to assess whether she needs to be hospitalized for delivery; if she has not reached 37 weeks, it may be a premature baby (premature uterine contractions), and she should see a doctor as soon as possible because she may need to nurture the fetus.
