In the late stages of pregnancy, it is generally normal for the abdomen to become hard. This is a symptom caused by frequent contractions of the uterus. For women, the feeling is a bit similar to menstrual pain. Some expectant mothers may also experience such symptoms if they are tired. Of course, if such symptoms occur frequently, or are accompanied by other symptoms, we should pay attention to it. In order to avoid adverse effects on the health of the fetus, it is also necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time. For example, if the pregnancy is not yet 37 weeks, it may cause premature birth. At this time, bloody secretions will appear in the vagina, which is a sign of threatened abortion. 1. Folk saying: A hard belly in late pregnancy means it's a girl In the late pregnancy, as the uterus continues to grow and the fetus grows, the baby's space for movement is reduced, so when the baby wants to move a lot, it will hit the belly, especially for baby girls. Many folk legends have mentioned that baby girls are held face to face with their mothers, so their buttocks are facing the mother's belly. In this way, when the mother-to-be moves, a big bulge will form on her belly, and it will be very hard. Although this has not been truly scientifically certified, many expectant mothers of baby girls will experience this phenomenon. 2. Scientific explanation: A hard belly in late pregnancy is a false labor The scientific explanation for a hard belly in the late pregnancy is false labor and painless labor. This is because the uterus becomes more and more sensitive in the late pregnancy, and some stimulation will cause labor. 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. What to do if your belly becomes hard during late pregnancy How should expectant mothers deal with the hardening of the abdomen caused by false labor in the late pregnancy? 1. Pay attention to rest, because the enlarged belly in the late pregnancy is already a burden for expectant mothers. If you are overworked, it may cause premature birth. 2. Never stimulate the uterus. Be careful when walking and don't let people or objects hit your stomach. 3. If you often have a hard abdomen in the late pregnancy, you can do fetal heart monitoring to observe whether there are irregular uterine contractions. If there are irregular uterine contractions, appropriate treatment should be given. 4. If your abdomen is hard and accompanied by abdominal pain and back pain in the late pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately. 5. A hard belly in the late pregnancy is a situation that most pregnant women will encounter. Expectant mothers do not need to worry too much. They should pay attention to rest. If uterine contractions are accompanied by abdominal pain or back pain, they should go to the hospital for treatment. |
