Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy often feel a hardness in their stomach when lying flat. This may be caused by uterine contractions or other problems caused by lying flat.

A reaction caused by uterine contractions. Generally, you don't feel pain when your stomach tightens. Sometimes it's a mild feeling like menstrual pain. Each time it's very short, about less than 1 minute, and it often occurs frequently after the expectant mother is tired.

This type of labor is different from the labor before labor, and will not cause premature delivery of the fetus. However, expectant mothers should also pay attention to these false labors. When the belly becomes hard, you should immediately stop the work at hand and take a break. If a false labor occurs on the road, stop and continue after it eases.
