What to do if you have stomach pain during your fourth month of pregnancy

In life, the stomach helps us a lot. The food we eat must pass through the stomach, so that it can bring us some nutrition. If the food does not stay in the stomach, then whatever you eat will be excreted, and there is no nutrition at all. Many pregnant women often say that their stomachs hurt after pregnancy, especially many pregnant women in the second trimester. When they have stomach pain, because they are pregnant, they don’t know what method to use to treat it. So let’s take a look at what to do if a pregnant woman with stomach pain in four months is pregnant?

The stomach is like a cloth bag and is located in the upper left abdominal cavity. It is the largest part of the digestive tract, connecting the cardia and esophagus above and the pylorus and duodenum below. There are many rugged mucous membranes on the inner surface of the stomach, like hills and valleys. When the stomach is filled with food, the mucosa expands, allowing a larger contact area between the food and the stomach. The stomach is a storage and processing plant for food and is the main organ for food digestion. The stomach can secrete a large amount of highly acidic gastric juice (pH 0.9 ~ 1.5). Its main ingredients are pepsin which can break down protein, hydrochloric acid which can promote protein digestion, and mucus which protects the gastric mucosa from being digested by itself. A normal adult secretes about 1.5 to 2.5 liters of gastric juice per day. After rough processing in the mouth, the food enters the stomach, is stirred and mixed through the peristalsis of the stomach, and with the action of a large amount of enzymes in the digestive juice in the stomach, the food finally becomes a porridge-like mixture, which is beneficial for intestinal digestion and absorption. Therefore, the stomach is the food processing plant and the final stop for food digestion and absorption. Generally, children's stomach walls are thinner and smaller in size. The digestive fluid secreted by the gastric glands has low acidity and less digestive acid than adults. Their digestive ability is worse than that of adults, so it is best for children to eat easily digestible food.
