30 weeks pregnant, stomach is very tight

In real life, many women experience hard and tight stomachs in the late pregnancy. This phenomenon is normal for expectant mothers with healthy pregnancies, but some expectant mothers are confused about why their stomachs become hard and tight at 30 weeks of pregnancy. So, why does the belly become hard and tight at 30 weeks? What is the reason for the belly to become hard and tight at 30 weeks? What is the reason for the belly to become hard and tight at 30 weeks? Let’s talk about it below.

The hard and tight belly at 30 weeks of pregnancy may be caused by premature babies, false labor at the end of pregnancy, infection and other reasons. In fact, there are several reasons:

1. Premature birth refers to the delivery of pregnant women before the full 37th week of pregnancy. Generally, pregnant women can find uterine contractions, which are mainly manifested as tightness, hardening and abdominal pain in the lower abdomen. If there are 2 to 3 uterine contractions every 10 minutes, which last for more than 30 seconds, or are accompanied by pink secretions from the vagina, it is a sign of imminent labor. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for examination and observation. If during further observation it is found that the expectant mother's cervix has progressively enlarged and has already opened to more than 2 centimeters, premature birth is inevitable.

2. A hard and tight abdomen at 30 weeks of pregnancy may also be caused by false labor in the late pregnancy. These are irregular, weak labor contractions that occur during pregnancy and are basically painless. They mainly occur at night and disappear the next morning. This is different from the pain before delivery, but some pregnant women who are very sensitive to pain will mistakenly think that they are about to give birth. However, expectant mothers do not need to take chances. If false labor contractions occur too frequently or there are other signs of property problems, they should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

3. A hard and tight belly at 30 weeks of pregnancy may also be caused by infection. When expectant mothers are infected, it will cause premature birth. Premature babies will have a hard and tight belly and abdominal pain. In addition, when the fetus in the belly moves frequently, expectant mothers will also feel tightness, hardness, and pain in the lower abdomen. The way to prevent this kind of disease is for expectant mothers to sleep on their left side, which can increase the blood volume of the uterine embryo and prevent or reduce spontaneous uterine contractions. It is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse in the late pregnancy to prevent urinary tract infections. Smokers need to quit smoking and drinking.

4. A hard and tight abdomen at 30 weeks of pregnancy may also be caused by labor pains. If expectant mothers feel regular abdominal hardening when they are close to delivery, that is, when the fetus is full-term, and this phenomenon occurs repeatedly, it is likely to be real labor pains.

The above is a brief introduction to why the belly becomes hard and tight during the 30th week of pregnancy. Expectant mothers can judge for themselves first and don’t be anxious blindly. If expectant mothers cannot diagnose the cause of the above symptoms, or if their abdomen often feels hard and tight in the late pregnancy, they can go to the hospital for fetal heart monitoring to observe whether there are irregular uterine contractions. If there are irregular uterine contractions, appropriate treatment is needed. I wish all the expectant mothers good physical and mental health.
