In the late stage of pregnancy, pregnant women should pay more attention to the safety status of the fetus, and also pay attention to their own changes in pregnancy. After any abnormal symptoms occur, pregnant women should take them seriously. Some pregnant women often experience a hard belly, which makes them very worried. Let's understand why they have a hard belly when sleeping in the late stage of pregnancy?
The symptom of abdominal stiffness in late pregnancy is considered to be pseudocontractions, also known as prolonged contractions, which occur irregularly in time and have varying intensities. This phenomenon is caused by the fetus continuously descending into the pelvic bone, stimulating the uterus. After experiencing symptoms of pseudo uterine contractions, pregnant women should pay attention to rest and gently touch the pregnant belly with both hands. The phenomenon of pseudo uterine contractions can disappear.
Pseudo uterine contractions are different from labor contractions and are not a precursor to labor. After the occurrence of pseudo uterine contractions, pregnant women do not need to worry too much and should pay attention to monitoring fetal heart rate and fetal movement. As the months of pregnancy increase, the phenomenon of false contractions will become more and more frequent. If a pregnant woman feels pain during contractions, it may indicate that she is about to give birth.
Pregnant women in the late stage of pregnancy should pay more attention to the safety of the fetus, especially after experiencing false contractions, and closely monitor the heartbeat and fetal movement of the fetus. If there is an abnormal increase or decrease in fetal heartbeat and fetal movement, it may be a threat to the safety of the fetus, and active medical examination should be sought.
