Patient's question:
I am a 32-year-old woman who has been experiencing discomfort recently. The discomfort has gradually worsened. Please ask: What could be the reason for a hard abdomen with a sense of heaviness and pressure pain at nine months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Because you are now 9 months pregnant and have entered the late stage of pregnancy, abdominal bloating and pain are normal physiological responses to pregnancy. As the pregnant woman progresses from early to middle and late pregnancy, the abdominal pressure gradually decreases, especially in the lower abdomen. Therefore, occasional abdominal pain is normal and does not require treatment. If other signs of labor reappear, you should be admitted to the hospital immediately for delivery. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
