39 weeks pregnant, stomach feels hard and tight

After a woman becomes pregnant, the fetal movement becomes obvious after a certain month, which is very touching for the woman. She can also have some simple communication with the fetus. In the later stages of pregnancy, the fetal movement becomes very frequent. So what is going on with frequent fetal movements and a hard stomach at 39 weeks?

What is the reason for frequent fetal movements and hard stomach at 39 weeks?

1. False labor in late pregnancy. It is the irregular, weak, painless contractions that occur during pregnancy. Its characteristic is that it often appears at night and disappears in the morning.

2. It is also possible that pain is about to come. If you are close to giving birth and feel regular abdominal hardening, and this phenomenon occurs repeatedly, it may mean that real pain is about to come.

Is it normal to have frequent fetal movements? Generally speaking, the following 5 types of frequent fetal movements are normal:

1. Before going to bed at night: Babies move the most at night. On the one hand, they are more energetic. On the other hand, pregnant mothers can usually calm down and feel the baby's fetal movements at this time, so they will feel that the baby moves a lot.

2. After meals: After meals, the mother's blood sugar level increases, and the baby is also "full" and strong, so the baby's fetal movements will become more frequent than before meals.

3. When taking a bath: It may be because the pregnant mother will feel more relaxed when taking a bath, and this mood will be passed on to the baby, and she will be more energetic.

4. When talking to the abdomen: Dads and expectant mothers all said that when communicating with the baby, the baby will respond and express his feelings in the form of fetal movements.

5. When listening to music: Under the stimulation of music, the fetus will become more and more fond of moving, which is also a way to convey emotions.

The above mentioned 5 normal conditions of fetal movement, but there are also physiological reasons that cause fetal movement. It is often seen that fetal movements are frequent in the early stages. For example, in the early stages of oxygen deficiency, the number of fetal movements will increase because the fetus is restless due to lack of oxygen. When the fetal intrauterine hypoxia worsens, the fetal movement gradually weakens and the frequency decreases, which is a sign of fetal danger.
