28 weeks hard belly

Watching their bellies grow day by day, many pregnant women like to touch their bellies, because it seems that touching their bellies can accurately sense the signs of the baby's healthy growth in their bellies. The belly of a pregnant woman with a normal pregnancy feels soft, just like a normal person's belly. However, if a pregnant woman experiences uterine contractions, her stomach will become hard. So is there any relationship between a hard belly and uterine contractions in a 28-week pregnant woman?

Why is my stomach still hard at 28 weeks of pregnancy?

Uterine contractions are a common phenomenon in late pregnancy, and they are fine as long as they are not frequent. I am now 28 weeks pregnant, which is in the late stage of pregnancy. As the fetus grows, it presses on the cervix, causing slight uterine contractions. In other words, your stomach will feel hard and tight as you said, but there will be no adverse effects. In addition, you should look at the frequency of uterine contractions. If they are relatively rare, there will be no adverse effects. If they are relatively frequent, such situations can be treated with drugs that inhibit uterine contractions. It is best to take it under the advice of a doctor.
