Girl's belly is bulging and hard

I believe that most pregnant mothers will encounter various problems during pregnancy. Expectant mothers are very concerned about and pay attention to the changes in their abdomen. They may feel that their abdomen is hard and they will feel worried. So what is the matter with the hard and bulging abdomen? I will explain it to you below!

What is the hard bulge in the abdomen?

A hard belly in a pregnant woman usually indicates uterine contraction. Uterine contraction is the contraction force of the uterus, which refers to the contraction of the smooth muscles of the uterine body. It is paroxysmal, with contraction and intermission alternating repeatedly. It is not controlled by the pregnant woman's beliefs. It plays an important role in childbirth. Only through reasonable uterine contraction can the fetus continue to descend along the birth canal to complete childbirth.

In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, many pregnant women will often feel mild uterine contractions (that is, they feel mild abdominal swelling, tightness, and no obvious pain). This type of uterine contraction is called false labor, which has no periodicity, not only with long intervals but also short duration, and is not likely to lead to real labor.

What should I do if my pregnant belly is hard?

Abdominal hardness causes discomfort to expectant mothers, which can be alleviated by the following methods:

1. Change your activity or posture. Sometimes walking can relieve 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).

2. Take a shower to release the stress in the human body.

3. Drink a few bowls of water, as false labor can sometimes be caused by dehydration.

4. Try relaxation exercises or take slow, deep breaths. Although this will not stop the false labor, it may help relieve the uncomfortable feeling.

After this introduction, I believe you all have a certain understanding of what the hard bulge in the abdomen is and what to do when a pregnant woman has a hard belly. A hard belly in a pregnant woman is generally due to uterine contraction, which is not cyclical and will not lead to a real delivery. A hard stomach will cause a lot of discomfort to pregnant mothers. Expectant mothers can take a shower to relax the body.
