My stomach is very hard as my due date is approaching

If your belly is hard during pregnancy, you should consider whether it is caused by uterine contractions. Generally, physiological uterine contractions will occur after 20 weeks of pregnancy. These physiological uterine contractions are irregular, but there is no pain. You just feel that the abdomen is a little hard. It is recommended not to worry too much about such things, but if you feel painful uterine contractions that do not subside after rest and are very regular, you may consider threatened miscarriage and should see a doctor for treatment in time.

Main manifestations:

Women may also feel their stomachs become hard in the late stages of pregnancy. This kind of thing usually occurs after 28 weeks. This type of latent uterine contraction is not periodic and the pain is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. However, as the month progresses, these false contractions will become more and more frequent. If the delivery date is approaching, these contractions will be more frequent and the pain will be more intense.

Dietary considerations:

During pregnancy, you should see a doctor regularly for prenatal checkups, especially in the late pregnancy. You should pay attention to changes in the baby's fetal movements at any time and see a doctor regularly for fetal heart monitoring.

During pregnancy, avoid eating spicy, irritating and cold foods, and eat more protein-rich and vitamin-rich foods, such as apples, bananas, chicken breast, eggs and milk. Usually go for a walk outdoors and maintain a positive attitude. Moderate walking is also beneficial to natural childbirth.
