Pregnant woman's belly feels hard

During pregnancy, the physical condition of the pregnant woman is closely related to the child, so it is very necessary to pay attention to her own physical health. Many pregnant women will also observe the development of their children through regular physical examinations and B-ultrasound methods. Any minor problem in the body will make pregnant women worried, fearing that the baby will be affected. But when a pregnant woman's belly feels hard, what is the cause?

This high level of attention to the body is worth promoting, because only by maintaining a good mental state during pregnancy can you help yourself give birth smoothly.

1. When pregnant women reach the second trimester, their uterus will slowly bulge to make room for the fetus to live, so during this stage pregnant women will find that their belly bulges significantly, and the uterus will move up about 3-8 cm. Only when there is enough space for the fetus to develop normally, so during this stage pregnant women will feel that the hardness of their belly is increasing, which is normal.

2. The hardness of a pregnant woman's belly will change during pregnancy, because the uterus bulges during pregnancy and the uterus is filled with amniotic fluid and fetus. So from a tactile point of view, the pregnant belly will feel harder and will not have the soft and fat feeling before pregnancy. This is also the biggest difference in the belly, and pregnant women don't need to be too nervous.

3. In the late pregnancy, the belly feels hard, but it does not actually mean that there is a problem with the baby. Especially in the late pregnancy when the baby moves, there may be a bulge in a certain place, or it may feel harder than other places. This is most likely the hardness of the baby's head or limbs. Don't be too nervous.

The late stage of pregnancy is also the most critical period of pregnancy. You must strengthen your physical care at this time. Local swelling or bruising of the body may occur in the late stage of pregnancy. You should strengthen physical exercise. You can reduce your swelling by walking slowly or drinking some dehumidifying red bean soup. At the same time, if there are abnormal blood pressure and fetal movements, you must go to the hospital to find out the reasons for the abnormalities to ensure that you are in the best physical condition before delivery.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when their belly is hard?

1. Pay attention to the number of false labor contractions;

2. Observe whether there is strong abdominal pain and abdominal prolapse. If there is abdominal pain and it is regular, it may also be a sign of labor.

3. Pay more attention to fetal movement in late pregnancy;

4. Get more rest and have a balanced diet;

5. When massaging your belly, don't turn in circles randomly, because the baby may also turn with you, which may easily cause uterine contractions. Remind expectant mothers to massage in one direction and tap the belly gently when communicating with the baby.
