Pregnant mothers always pay attention to the condition of their stomachs and constantly touch their hearts. Various situations often occur during pregnancy. What happens when the stomach becomes hard and tight?
As the fetus grows, occasional contractions can cause the belly to become tight and hard. The duration is not long, so there is no need to worry too much. Generally, this is normal. Sometimes, if you encounter something more tense, anxious, or wear clothes that are too thin or too little, this situation can also occur.
It may also be physiological contractions, with the main symptoms being a hard and tight sensation in the lower abdomen, no pain sensation, short duration, long intervals, and no regularity. If the duration of this situation gradually prolongs, the frequency also increases, the interval time shortens, and the cervical canal shortens and the cervical opening dilates, leading to bleeding, etc., then attention should be paid to the possible precursors of labor and delivery, and preparations should be made for labor and delivery.
Due to a lack of medical knowledge, some pregnant women may experience anxiety when their stomachs become tight or hard, which is detrimental to fetal development.
During pregnancy, there will be many frequent situations that occur. If these situations can be handled properly, they will not affect the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should relax and not be overly anxious.
