Patient's question:
I want to ask, I'm four months pregnant, and my stomach is very hard right now. I also feel like having a bowel movement. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
If you only feel your abdomen particularly hard in the morning, this could be caused by false labor contractions. If it happens occasionally, it might be due to the baby's movement inside the uterus. If the hardness comes in waves, it could indicate actual contractions. It is recommended to closely monitor the situation and consider undergoing an ultrasound examination at the hospital if necessary, to avoid the risk of premature birth and potential harm to both you and the baby. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
