During pregnancy, women may experience tightness and hardness in their stomachs. Once this condition occurs, some mothers who do not know how to conceive may panic and worry about potential problems with their babies and themselves. In fact, there are many reasons for a tight and hard belly during pregnancy. So, what's going on with a tight and hard belly during pregnancy?
1. Premature birth
If this condition occurs in a mother within 37 weeks of pregnancy, the possibility of imminent premature birth needs to be considered first. Once the stomach becomes tight and hard, premature birth should be considered and immediate medical examination and diagnosis should be sought.
2. Pseudo uterine contractions
In the late stages of pregnancy, pseudo contractions may be frequent, causing the stomach to become tight and hard. Pseudo contractions do not cause pain and usually occur at night.
3. Infection occurs
If a pregnant mother has an infection, she may experience tightness and hardness in her stomach. This is because after the infection occurs, the baby's stomach becomes restless and agitated. At this time, it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately, and after being diagnosed by a doctor, active treatment measures should be taken.
4. Constipation
If constipation occurs, defecation will require a lot of effort, which can cause the stomach to become tight and hard, and the fetus will also feel uncomfortable in the mother's uterus.
5. Pregnant mothers are active and vigorous
If pregnant women suddenly stand up while sitting, their stomachs will become tight and hard. If pregnant women engage in excessive or vigorous activities, their stomachs will also become tight and hard. Therefore, pregnant women need to exercise, but also need to engage in soothing exercises, such as walking, which is not suitable for intense exercise.
