Pregnancy is such a happy thing for the whole family!

The baby in the belly is the apple of the parents' eyes all the time. But one day you may find that the right side of a pregnant woman's belly is bigger than the left side. New parents will definitely get nervous and seek medical advice when seeing this situation. This is such an important matter. Let's find out why the right side of a pregnant woman's belly is bigger? Is there anything wrong with the baby?

The enlarged right side of a pregnant woman’s belly may also be caused by bloating.

Bloating is a problem that many pregnant women encounter during pregnancy. During pregnancy, due to hormonal changes in the body, the secretion of progesterone becomes significantly more active. Although this hormone can inhibit the contraction of uterine muscles to prevent miscarriage, it will also slow down the body's intestinal peristalsis, causing not only morning sickness, nausea, vomiting, and gastric acid reflux into the esophagus in the early stages of pregnancy, but also constipation, which will cause discomfort in the entire gastrointestinal tract. The reason for abdominal bloating in pregnant women is that the enlarged uterus compresses the stomach and intestines. As the fetus grows in the uterus, the gradually enlarged uterus will naturally compress the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to pushing the stomach slightly upward, the intestines will also be pushed upward or to the sides. When the gastrointestinal tract is under pressure, it will affect the normal excretion of food and gas, making the expectant mother feel uncomfortable. Constipation caused by reduced activity. Since expectant mothers usually move less than before pregnancy, gastrointestinal motility weakens. In addition, the food intake during pregnancy will also change. Excessive intake of high-protein and high-fat foods will make the supplement of vegetables and fruits relatively insufficient, which will also make it easier for feces to be retained in the intestines, causing constipation and making the abdominal bloating more severe. What to do if you have abdominal bloating in early pregnancy? Eat small meals frequently to effectively relieve bloating. Changing your eating habits is the first priority. If the expectant mother already feels bloating, but still takes supplements and eats a lot of food, it will increase gastrointestinal digestion.

Expectant mothers in the middle and late stages of pregnancy can adopt the principle of eating small meals frequently. Remember not to eat too much at each meal, which can effectively reduce the feeling of abdominal bloating. Pregnant women may wish to change from the habit of three meals a day to six to eight meals a day to reduce the portion of each meal. In addition to controlling protein and fat intake, adding some garlic and ginger slices when cooking can also reduce the production of abdominal bloating and gas. Chew slowly when eating, don't talk while eating, avoid sucking drinks with a straw, don't often hold sour plums in your mouth, or chew gum, etc., to avoid letting unnecessary excess gas enter the abdomen. To supplement fiber, pregnant women can eat more foods rich in fiber, such as vegetables, fruits and foods rich in fiber. Vegetables such as wild rice shoots, leeks, spinach, celery, loofah, lotus roots, radishes, etc. are rich in dietary fiber; among fruits, persimmons, apples, bananas, kiwis, etc. are rich in fiber. Fiber can help intestinal peristalsis. Although liquid food is easier to eat, it is not necessarily easy to digest, so pregnant women can choose semi-solid food.

After understanding, are you, as a new mother, filled with a sense of happiness? Do you think the baby is so cute? He is so naughty in his mother's belly! If a pregnant woman has a bigger belly on the right side, she just needs to pay attention to her sleeping position. Remember that sleeping on the left side is most beneficial to the baby, and the baby will also be comfortable. Sleeping on the right side will increase the possibility of a bigger belly on the right side.
