Patient's question:
I am 9 months pregnant and close to my due date. Recently, my abdomen has been consistently hard and tight, similar to the mild pain during menstruation. I don’t know the reason why, and sometimes it comes in waves. When it hurts, there’s a heavy and distending sensation. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I haven’t engaged yet.What kind of help do I need: How to deal with a tight and hard abdomen in the late stages of pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Most healthy expectant mothers feel tightness in their abdomen, which is a very normal reaction caused by uterine contractions. When the abdomen feels tight, pain is usually not felt. Sometimes it may be a mild sensation similar to menstrual cramps, each lasting only a very short time, about less than a minute, and it often occurs frequently after the expectant mother becomes tired.
