39 weeks pregnant, my belly is still hard

When a woman reaches the 39th week of pregnancy, she may give birth at any time. Pregnant women at this time need to be fully prepared. Once any symptoms of physical discomfort appear, it is best to go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment. Do not be careless. For example, if your stomach becomes hard all the time at the 30th week of pregnancy, this is called uterine contraction, which is a sign of labor. It is best to go to the hospital for examination immediately. If you are about to give birth, make relevant preparations.

Why is my stomach still hard at 39 weeks of pregnancy?

At 39 weeks of pregnancy, you have reached the perinatal period and your abdomen becomes painless and hard, which is a false labor. It is best to relax and pay more attention. If regular uterine contractions occur accompanied by abdominal pain, go to the hospital immediately.

What is the reason for my stomach to be hard and push upwards at 39 weeks of pregnancy?

1. In fact, when women enter the second or third trimester, their belly will feel obviously bloated. It will definitely be bulging, and they will often feel that their belly is hard. In fact, this is a very normal phenomenon, which is mainly caused by false labor.

2. When pregnant women reach the late stage of pregnancy, uterine contractions will become more frequent. Pregnant women may not be able to get used to this situation, but they still have to accept it, because it is a necessary journey for every woman. They must not become irritable because of uterine contractions and must learn to look at their pregnancy rationally.

3. Generally speaking, if a woman only has local hardness, it is relatively normal. However, if the hardness reaches the belly, and the contractions are relatively frequent and the intervals can be calculated, it may be time for delivery and you should go to the hospital in time.

What are the symptoms of pelvic floor in 39 weeks of pregnancy?

1. Changes in abdominal shape

Engaging the pelvis means that the baby's fetal position moves downward. Pregnant women will find that the shape of their belly will change, and your abdomen will seem to fall down a little, just like changing from a watermelon to a grapefruit. This happens to almost every baby, whether it is a boy or a girl, and it indirectly breaks the folk saying that "a boy is more likely to be pregnant with an upper baby, and a girl is more likely to be pregnant with a lower baby".

2. Breathing becomes easier and appetite improves

As the fetus enters the pelvis, the fetal position decreases, which reduces the pressure on the diaphragm, lungs, heart, and stomach. The functions of these relatively high-positioned organs will gradually recover, so you will feel that you breathe easier and eat more.

If your belly is hard and pushing up at 39 weeks of pregnancy, it may be the baby moving inside, or it may be caused by false labor. In this case, don't worry too much. However, you may give birth at any time during the 39th week. If you have abdominal pain or spotting, you should go to the hospital immediately. Generally speaking, once the fetus enters the pelvis, it is fixed and can be born at any time, so you still need to pay more attention to it in normal times.
