Will the stomach swell up when you are two months pregnant?

The feeling during pregnancy is very strange. It is difficult to describe this feeling because it is difficult for us to distinguish whether it is the feeling of bloating in the belly or the feeling of bloating in the stomach. Therefore, it is best for us to first understand what the feelings of a bloated belly and stomach bloating are. After distinguishing these feelings, we can know whether there will be stomach bloating during the third month of pregnancy.

1. It is because the uterus becomes larger during pregnancy, which compresses the stomach and intestinal organs, causing them to shift. When the stomach and intestinal organs shift, the original ligaments will be pulled, causing abdominal pain. Most of this pain can be relieved by bed rest.

2. Due to the increase in blood flow, it is easy to cause abdominal discomfort. This is just like after eating, a large amount of blood will flow into the gastrointestinal tract, making the stomach become more swollen, and some people even feel dizzy; for the same reason, during pregnancy, a large amount of blood will flow into the uterus to provide the nutrients needed for fetal growth. As a result of the blood flow effect, the abdomen becomes uncomfortable.

3. The progesterone in the hormone slows down the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, reduces its tension, and slows down the emptying time, which can easily cause constipation and abdominal discomfort.

Now that we have understood the causes of bloating in pregnant women, let’s take a look at the solutions:

1. It is recommended that expectant mothers should eat small meals frequently to avoid discomfort such as bloating and abdominal pain.

2. Next is to control your emotions, not lose your temper, not be anxious, and always keep a happy mood

3. The support of family members, especially the comfort and encouragement of husbands, are the most effective weapons to help expectant mothers fight against physical discomfort during pregnancy.

4. Appropriate activities. Pregnant women may take frequent walks, chat with neighbors, and take a walk to breathe fresh air, which can help relieve stomach bloating.

In addition to the above 4 points, you also need to ensure sleep, because bloating and the growing abdomen will limit the sleeping posture of pregnant women, and you may sometimes suffer from insomnia and unable to sleep at night. Then take the opportunity to catch up on your sleep when you feel sleepy during the day.

If you feel bloating during pregnancy, it may be because there is something wrong with your diet. Improper diet can easily lead to indigestion in pregnant women. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to arrange their diet reasonably at ordinary times, otherwise it will be very troublesome for pregnant women to treat bloating.
