What should pregnant women do if their belly is tight?

Many female friends have experienced a tight belly during pregnancy. This is a normal phenomenon. After all, there is a new life in our belly during pregnancy. Although a tight belly is normal, it will make pregnant women feel very uncomfortable and even uneasy. Then the following tips can help us pregnant women to alleviate this problem.

A tight belly during the fifth month of pregnancy is often caused by frequent and irregular uterine contractions, also known as false labor. Uterine contraction is the contraction force of the uterus, which refers to the contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterine body. It is paroxysmal, with contractions and pauses alternating repeatedly, and is not controlled by the will of the mother. Starting from the 28th week of pregnancy, false labor will often occur in the abdomen. If the pregnant woman stands or sits in the same posture for a long time, she will feel her abdomen hardening from time to time. This is false labor and is a normal phenomenon.

Its characteristics are that the time of occurrence is irregular and the degree varies from time to time. Before delivery, that is, in the late pregnancy, false labor contractions will become more and more frequent due to the traction stimulation of the lower segment caused by the descending fetal head. As long as there is no pain, pregnant women do not need to worry.

It is normal for most healthy pregnant women to feel a tight stomach in the late pregnancy, as this is a reaction caused by uterine contractions. You usually don't feel any pain when your stomach tightens. Sometimes it's a mild feeling like menstrual pain, but each time it's very short, about less than 1 minute. However, a hard stomach often occurs frequently after the expectant mother is tired.

Pregnant women can drink several glasses of water because false labor can sometimes be caused by dehydration. Try relaxation exercises, or taking slow, deep breaths. While this won't stop your false labor, it may help you cope with the uncomfortable feelings.

So have we all learned the above methods? It is normal for pregnant women to have a tight belly. Our pregnant women don’t need to worry too much about this problem. As long as we maintain a good mood and mentality, develop good living habits and work and rest time, we can take good care of our fetus. Therefore, it is very important to learn some tips to regulate your body.
