Pregnancy belly is always hard and firm

In the early stages of pregnancy, you need to be careful about the reaction of morning sickness. As the pregnancy time gradually prolongs, or in the second and third trimesters, many pregnant women often feel a slight swelling and hardness in their abdomens. The skin feels very tight when touched. Many people think this is an unhealthy condition, so everyone starts to worry. Some people will even use this symptom to distinguish between boys and girls. In fact, the hardening of the abdomen of pregnant women in the second and third stages is not a characteristic of the birth of a boy or girl, but a false uterine contraction. The uterus needs to prepare for pregnancy and delivery, and it is normal to start exercising early, but if the contractions are frequent and persistent, you need to be vigilant.

My belly is always a little hard during pregnancy. What should I do?

Change your activity or posture. Sometimes walking can relieve your discomfort, and sometimes resting can relieve false labor. (If it is a real uterine contraction during labor, no matter what you do, the uterine contraction will not stop and will gradually increase.) Take a shower and relax your body.

Drink several bowls of water, as false labor can sometimes be caused by dehydration. Try relaxation exercises, or taking slow, deep breaths. Although this will not stop the false labor, it may help you deal with the uncomfortable feeling.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when their belly becomes hard?

Pay attention to the frequency of false labor; observe whether it is accompanied by obvious abdominal pain and abdominal heaviness. If it is accompanied by abdominal pain and is regular, it may be a threatened abortion and you should seek medical attention immediately; pay more attention to observing the baby's movements in the late pregnancy; get more rest and have a balanced diet; when touching the abdomen, don't turn around casually, because the baby may also turn around, which can easily cause uterine contractions. Pregnant mothers should touch in one direction and gently tap their belly when communicating with the baby.
