Kamenet stomach during pregnancy: the reasons for doing it if the stony is stony
The process of "petrification" of the abdomen speaks of the onsetmuscular hypertonicity of the uterus. Such a diagnosis is inevitable for all pregnant women, this is quite a natural sign for a certain stage of bearing a child. Those who give birth for the first time, it may seem that such symptoms are abnormal, but do not worry, everything is fine. No such threats are present.
Why stony stomach during pregnancy?
Just worth noting: girls can have such seals in the lower abdominal cavity on absolutely any terms (during sleep, in reality). However, this most often occurs in the last weeks of pregnancy. It also happens when a woman is pregnant with twins.
What do compaction mean and why do they arise? This happens because the uterus consists of muscles that can change their state - be elastic, soft, relaxed. Basically, the stomach stains with spasms: then the muscles of the uterus tighten.
In late pregnancy, about25-26, 34-35 a week, the woman's body begins to prepare for the childbirth: the so-called imitation of the appearance of the child. During these weeks, the muscles tend to stretch, thus stretching and acquiring elasticity, preparing for the forthcoming generic processes. Do not worry, if a little pain is felt below: such unpleasant tingling minimizes the main pain - during the appearance of the baby.
Breston-Hixt - this is the scientific namesuch a process as prenatal labor. A woman in position can feel small painful tingling sensations at the bottom, as if something is pulling. The frequency of such spasms is up to 3-5 times per hour with a duration of 2-3 minutes.
With regular symptoms of this nature,early stages of pregnancy need to urgently seek medical advice. Perhaps this is caused by a high tone of the uterus, which adversely affects the development of the baby. The child begins to feel oxygen starvation, which affects his blood pressure. As a consequence, embryos can threaten complications in physical development. It is better not to risk and consult with a professional gynecologist for a maximum of 2, 3 days.
What if the stomach hardens during late pregnancy?
If there are such symptoms (in the second, third trimester, etc.), you should follow the following tips:
You can not be in a dream in one position. Of course, it's difficult to control yourself, but you need to try to turn from one side to the other more often.
Do not commit serious physical exertion.
With an increase in the tone of the uterus, when you feel the greatest compaction, you must take a relaxed position.

Specialist's help with a stony abdomen
A doctor's consultation is necessary in any case. A special instrument (tonometer) the doctor listens to the fetus and decides how serious the seals are. A gynecologist can prescribe an additional ultrasound procedure, after which it becomes clear in which position the fetus is located and how strong the spasms of the muscles of the intravaginal space.
