Pregnant women will experience a hard abdomen in the late stages of pregnancy, which is called false labor, or false uterine contractions. In the late stages of pregnancy, before labor begins, pregnant women will experience irregular abdominal pain, characterized by short and irregular duration of uterine contractions; long and irregular intervals; no increase in the intensity of uterine contractions; and no shortening of the cervical canal and dilation of the cervix during contractions. False uterine contractions usually occur more frequently at night and disappear in the early morning, with no obvious symptoms of a hard abdomen during the day. The contractions can be suppressed by giving strong sedatives, and these are the symptoms of false uterine contractions in late pregnancy.

Anal bleeding, accompanied by pain and other symptoms may be caused by hemorrhoids. It may be related to constipation. You can go to the anorectal department for examination to help diagnose. It is recommended to eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits, vegetables, and coarse grains, do appropriate activities, massage the abdomen, and have regular bowel movements. Pay attention to safety in the late pregnancy, have a prenatal check-up once a week, pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and wash the vulva and anus with warm water every day. This has little effect on pregnancy, and postpartum bleeding will recover naturally.

The belly shakes in the late pregnancy because the baby is moving in the belly. In the late pregnancy, the baby's size increases. When he moves, he will touch the mother's uterine cavity wall. So the mother will feel the belly shake. At this time, the baby is like us adults, he has many movements. For example, stretching, burping, playing with his umbilical cord. Or stretching his arms and kicking his legs. Normal fetal movement also means that the placenta is functioning well, the oxygen delivered to the fetus is sufficient, the fetus is growing and developing soundly in the uterus, and is moving happily. In the late pregnancy, the fetus is larger and has a large range of movement, so sometimes the fetal movement is like shaking, don't worry.

1. The third trimester is approaching the time of delivery, so you must insist on prenatal checkups. From 28 to 36 weeks, check at least once every two weeks; after 36 weeks, check every week.

2. Improve nutrition, ensure sleep, pay attention to hygiene, and engage in appropriate exercise.

3. Control salt intake, avoid overweight or squatting, avoid bathing in a tub, and refrain from sexual intercourse to avoid premature birth and premature rupture of membranes.

4. Learn to monitor yourself and your family, listen to the fetal heart rate, count fetal movements, feel the fetal position, measure the height of the uterus, etc. If the fetal movement is less than 20 times in 12 hours, the fetal heart rate is less than 120 times per minute, more than 160 times per minute, or irregular movements, you should seek medical attention in time.
