When a woman's pregnancy reaches 32 weeks, the baby has grown relatively large. At this time, there are many changes in the pregnant mother's body. For example, some pregnant women will feel that their abdomen is falling. Many expectant mothers find that their abdomen is falling and are very worried, fearing that they will give birth prematurely. So is it normal for the abdomen to start dropping at 32 weeks? Around 32 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women feel that their abdomen suddenly drops sharply and continues to drop. This situation is very normal.

However, this situation is not certain. It does not mean that the baby will be premature if the abdomen falls down, because there are many factors that cause premature birth, which are related to the physical fitness of the pregnant woman, the shock of the pregnant woman, and the growth and development speed of the fetus. After the fetal head enters the pelvis, the pregnant woman will not only feel her abdomen falling down, but will also continue to experience false labor contractions. The pregnant woman will feel that her abdomen suddenly becomes hard and painful. However, this kind of pain and abdominal hardness will not last for a long time, and there is no regularity. The second time may occur soon after the first time, or it may occur after a long interval. The degree of pain also varies from mild to severe. This type of false labor is encountered by many pregnant women and is a normal condition in late pregnancy. If the pregnant woman's uterus contracts very frequently, the intervals between them are very short, and the pain is very strong, the uterus contracts once every few seconds and the pain occurs once. This kind of situation may be that the baby is about to be born. If accompanied by symptoms such as amniotic fluid breaking, spotting during pregnancy, etc., the pregnant woman should be hospitalized immediately for preparation to welcome the birth of the new life.
