Stomach tightness and hardness after spotting

Before giving birth, some women will experience spotting, while some will experience water breaking. Since everyone's physical condition is different, the symptoms before giving birth are also different. Most women will have a tight and hard stomach before giving birth. Generally, how long will it take for them to give birth? This is the most concerned topic for many women before giving birth.

How long will it take for the baby to be born if the stomach becomes tight and hard after spotting?

When a pregnant mother is approaching the due date, her stomach will become tight and hard, but this is actually just false labor, and is not a sign of delivery. If there is spotting, amniotic fluid ruptures, or there is stomach pain before labor begins, then delivery is imminent. If a pregnant mother feels that she is about to give birth, she needs to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital immediately to prepare for delivery.

In the late stages of pregnancy, as the date of delivery approaches, the mother's stomach will often experience false labor contractions. Whether the pregnant mother is giving birth to her first or second child, a tight and hard belly is not a sign of delivery. If a pregnant mother feels unwell and is about to give birth, she needs to go to a local regular hospital in time and enter the obstetrics and gynecology department to prepare for delivery.

First, there are generally several main signs when a woman is about to give birth. Pregnant women will feel a heaviness in the lower abdomen. The falling baby will relieve the pressure around the stomach and cause the abdomen to sag. Frequent urination and a feeling of incomplete urination even after urinating. The vagina will discharge a lot of mucous leucorrhea. There will be irregular bloating and pain in the abdomen.

Second, if the sign that the fetus is about to be born is that the pregnant woman will experience labor pains, and can feel the regular contractions of the uterus within a day, and the feeling of expansion more than six times means that labor pains have begun. The pain will become more intense as time goes by, the pain will last longer and longer, and the time interval between contractions will become shorter and shorter. This kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people. There will be intense pain around the abdomen, back, and coccyx.

Third, as time goes by, the cervix gradually expands due to the contraction of the uterus, and the fetal head slowly moves downward. The vagina will bleed and see redness because the mucus plug at the entrance of the uterus falls off and the micro-capillaries rupture, resulting in a small amount of viscous secretion, and a mucous leucorrhea mixed with a small amount of blood will appear. Some pregnant women experience direct water rupture, which means that the amniotic fluid flows out when the egg membrane that wraps the fetus ruptures. The water that flows out is colorless and similar to urine. The above symptoms prove that the fetus is about to be born and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to prepare for delivery.

When a pregnant woman is about to give birth, she usually experiences contractions first and then her water breaks. After the water breaks, she should try to lie flat and go to the hospital as soon as possible; because once the water breaks, it means the fetus will be born immediately. During the delivery process, pregnant women should relax, conserve their strength, breathe evenly, and eat some desserts, chocolate and rice to increase their strength so that they can give birth to the baby smoothly.
