I feel shortness of breath during my fourth month of pregnancy.

If a pregnant woman experiences a symptom where her abdomen is sometimes hard and sometimes soft during the fourth month of pregnancy, it may be due to the following factors: First, it may be caused by fetal movement. When the fetus moves, the abdomen usually becomes hard, and the abdomen becomes loose after the baby moves. This is a normal symptom and pregnant women do not need to worry too much. Second, it may be caused by false uterine contractions. The fourth month of pregnancy belongs to the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Some women will have symptoms of latent uterine contractions, which are mainly manifested by the abdomen being sometimes hard and sometimes soft. This situation is also a normal physiological phenomenon. Third, if a pregnant woman has abdominal hardening, she needs to be highly alert. It may be caused by threatened abortion. The patient needs to go to the hospital for examination in time. If necessary, she can use tocolytic drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

In the fourth month of pregnancy, the abdomen sometimes becomes hard and sometimes becomes soft. Consider the possibility of uterine contraction. Uterine contraction is the contraction of the uterus. Uterine contraction is divided into pathological uterine contraction and false uterine contraction. The fourth month of pregnancy belongs to the middle pregnancy. The uterine contraction that occurs in the middle pregnancy is generally false uterine contraction. False uterine contraction is irregular, the pain interval is longer and the duration is shorter. Generally, the contraction will automatically subside after rest.

Pathological uterine contractions are more common in the late stages of pregnancy and are more regular. The pain intervals become shorter and shorter, and the duration becomes longer and longer. They can also cause the internal cervical os to dilate, which is a true initiation of clinical labor. Frequent false labor in the second trimester of pregnancy may cause fetal intrauterine hypoxia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and take medication to inhibit uterine contractions under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, you should increase pregnancy monitoring and have regular follow-up visits.

In the fourth month of pregnancy, the abdomen is sometimes hard and sometimes soft. This is caused by uterine contractions. If there is no periodicity and is not accompanied by obvious pain symptoms and abnormal vaginal bleeding, it is not caused by regular uterine contractions, but is a physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. But you should pay attention to rest as much as possible, avoid fatigue, and avoid stimulating sexual intercourse. If this symptom gradually becomes periodic and is accompanied by significant abdominal pain, you should pay attention to it and go to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible.
