37 weeks, my stomach is tight and hard

Some pregnant women in their 37th week of pregnancy will experience a tight and hard stomach. When women experience this condition, people must be very worried, fearing that it will affect the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. In fact, there are many reasons for this situation, not just some diseases. For example, it may be caused by uterine contractions. Here is a detailed explanation of why the stomach is tight and hard at 37 weeks of pregnancy.

If a woman suddenly finds her belly tightening and she has slight uterine contractions when she is around 37 weeks pregnant, she must not be too nervous at this time. She should go to the hospital for an amniotic fluid depth test or a fetal umbilical cord blood flow test. If everything is normal, she can rest assured and wait patiently for delivery.

Generally speaking, a woman is full-term when she is about 37 weeks pregnant. She can give birth at any time, and even if she gives birth at this time, she can fully meet the conditions for survival. Therefore, women must pay special attention to observe every abnormal phenomenon of their body during this stage. If you find that your stomach is very tight every day and the fetal movement is abnormally frequent at 37 weeks of pregnancy, the situation is as follows:

1. By the 37th week, most pregnant women will experience slight fetal movements or slight uterine contractions. These are all very normal phenomena. This also means that the fetus is now mature and can be born at any time. Even if the due date is not reached at this time, it can still survive completely.

2. If a pregnant woman feels that her belly is very tight, this is a symptom of mild uterine contraction. Don't be too nervous, because this symptom of mild uterine contraction will last from the middle to the late pregnancy and has little to do with the upcoming birth. The actual work of giving birth is extremely intense and violent.

3. If a woman feels that her belly is very tight and has frequent fetal movements, she should go to the hospital for a routine check-up. Because the depth of the amniotic fluid is constantly decreasing in the late pregnancy, this means that the baby in the mother's belly will have more and more difficulty breathing. Therefore, the depth of the amniotic fluid and the normal flow rate of the umbilical cord blood in the mother's belly should be monitored in real time. If both are normal, it proves that the child is healthy.
