Is Hardening Of The Uterus Normal During Twenty-seven Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Question: Hi i am 27+1 and have all Day had what I Think is XXXXXXX XXXXXXX contractions. My uterus turna really hard but it doesnt hurt. Every time i move or walk i get a hard uterus . But i have heard This is ok if i dont have too many. But have many is too much?
Brief Answer:
Such contractions are harmless.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
At 27 weeks of pregnancy, intermittent hardening of uterus is normal. As long as these are not associated with any pain sensation there is no need to worry. Such painless contractions are XXXXXXX Hick's contractions only.
To be more sure you can do a daily fetal movement count after having meals thrice a day.
If you can feel three good baby movements in one hour then there is no need to worry. You can also increase your fluid intake and have as much rest as possible.
You can avoid all the stressful activities to decrease aggravation of any pre mature pains.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
