Will a hard stomach at 34 weeks mean premature birth?

In the later stages of pregnancy, the expectant mother's belly will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more things to pay attention to. Premature birth is very likely to occur in the late stages of pregnancy, so in order for the baby to be born healthy, you must be careful in all aspects. So, will a hard belly at 34 weeks lead to premature birth? The chances of a premature baby being born at 34 weeks are lower. When you are 34 weeks pregnant, a hard stomach is a physiological phenomenon.

The 34th week of pregnancy belongs to the second half of pregnancy. At this time, due to the rapid growth and development of the fetus, the uterus also enlarges rapidly. The enlarged uterus can cause the endometrium to tighten, and you may feel a little hardening. However, this hardening will not cause premature birth and is a normal physiological phenomenon. Also, after the uterus enlarges at 34 weeks of pregnancy, the originally loose uterine ligaments will become larger, stretched and tightened, especially after the round ligament of the uterus in front of the uterus is stretched and tightened, there will be a significant feeling of hardening. This will not cause premature birth, because it is a normal physiological phenomenon. With adequate rest, a calm mind and a regular life, the hardening will be significantly alleviated. In addition, part of the hardness of the abdomen is caused by uterine contractions, which is a common condition in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. It is called false labor, and it is not a real uterine contraction for delivery, so it is not easy to cause premature birth.

By 34 weeks, the embryo has fully developed. At this time, the fetus needs a lot of nutrients to grow and develop. At this stage, you need to supplement more nutrients. It is better to eat more foods rich in protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins, and you must have a nutritional balance.

In the later stages of pregnancy, you should pay attention to nutritional balance in your diet, eat foods that are easily digestible, eat small meals frequently, and eat less desserts and high-calorie foods. Don't eat too irritating foods, such as ground coffee, chili pepper, mustard sauce, etc. Foods with high starch content and fruits should be eaten less. Some pregnant women will experience pregnancy anemia when they reach the 34th week of pregnancy, so remember to eat more iron-rich foods at this stage.
