Question
Hello doctor,
I'm 37 weeks pregnant, in the last 1 week, I often have abdominal pain, cramping, and abdominal pain, occurring about 3-4 times a day. I went to the doctor and the doctor said that the uterus is 1cm dilated but there are no signs of birth. So the doctor let me ask if my stomach is stiff, my cervix is 1cm wide, so I'm hospitalized? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Specialist Doctor I Nguyen Thi Man - Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question "Stomach stiffness, cervix is 1cm wide, should I go to the hospital?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
When examining the doctor, he will base on uterine contractions, love fetal heart rate, amniotic fluid on ultrasound, cervical dilation. After examination, the doctor has indicated to be hospitalized for monitoring, so you should be hospitalized. If you are not in labor and there are no danger signs, early admission to the hospital will increase the feeling of waiting, fatigue and hospital costs.
If you still have questions about abdominal stiffness, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
