After pregnancy, the most noticeable changes are in the belly. The stomach will increase day by day, and there may also be other symptoms such as hardening or pain in the stomach. Once there are symptoms of discomfort in the stomach, attention should be paid as it may lead to premature birth and other complications. What's wrong with a pregnant woman having a hard belly?
Pregnant women who experience abdominal stiffness should consider two aspects. One is regular hardening, and the other is persistent hardening. These are two completely different situations.
For pregnant women with abdominal stiffness, it also depends on the gestational age. If frequent abdominal stiffness occurs in mid pregnancy, it is necessary to consider whether there is premature birth. This situation manifests as intermittent tightness in the stomach, with no obvious pain and a certain pattern. After rest, it will be relieved and accompanied by vaginal bleeding. At this point, an inspection needs to be conducted.
If a pregnant woman has a hard belly in the late stage of pregnancy, such as after 34 weeks of pregnancy, and this kind of belly hardness is not very regular and there is no obvious shortening of the cervical canal after testing, it generally does not need to be treated because the child's survival ability is relatively strong at this time, and even if there is premature birth, there is no need to worry.
Pregnant women with a hard belly without any other symptoms should not be too nervous. It is best to sit down and rest for a while or go outdoors to relax. If accompanied by pain, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital for examination.
