Five months pregnant, hard stomach

Most women like to lie flat when they are pregnant, because they will not feel anything pressing on their stomach and will feel comfortable. If they lie on their side, they will always feel that their stomach is heavy and swollen, but when they lie flat, they will touch their stomach and feel it is particularly hard. After five months, the fetus's hands and feet are fully developed, so why is the stomach hard when lying flat at five months of pregnancy?

We all know that sleeping posture is very important for women after they become pregnant, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy when the uterus continues to grow. Sometimes the belly becomes hard and bulging, which may happen several times a day. At night, you will toss and turn and sleep uneasily. I am now about five months pregnant. My belly has obviously grown a lot bigger than before. In addition to swelling in my hands and feet, my belly becomes hard when I lie down to rest at night. I am not sure what is going on.

Steps/Methods:

1 First of all, we all know that it is a common symptom for women to have a hard belly after five months of pregnancy, which can happen during the day or at night. If your penis only gets hard occasionally when you lie down, don't worry too much. It won't directly affect the fetus. This consideration is just a psychological effect.

2 In addition, if a woman experiences irritating uterine contractions during pregnancy, it may also cause the uterus to harden. If the stomach is obviously hard when lying down in the fifth month of pregnancy, we can take a left side lying position to see if it can relieve the symptoms. As long as the fetus develops normally, there is no problem. Pay attention to regular pregnancy check-ups and scientific nutrition.

3 For most pregnant women, it is okay if their stomachs become hard when they lie flat for five months without any other adverse reactions. However, to prevent the pregnant women from getting hurt, it is recommended that they try not to lie flat. If they always do this, it can easily cause fetal hypoxia. Therefore, pregnant women should change their sleeping positions and fall asleep in the way that makes them feel comfortable.

Precautions

If a pregnant woman experiences this symptom and it resolves on its own, it is not a big problem. If she experiences frequent irritating uterine contractions, she should take it seriously and go to the hospital for further examination to see if it is normal. Pregnant women should eat foods that increase tissue immunity, get enough rest, and regular prenatal checkups are important.
