What to do if you have bloating during pregnancy

Women will encounter various problems during pregnancy, both physical and external, which will have a great impact on themselves. Stomach bloating is a common phenomenon during the third month of pregnancy. Many female friends will experience this phenomenon during pregnancy. So let’s take a look at the ways to solve this phenomenon.

The baby is warm and safe in the womb, protected by the amniotic fluid all around, and will not be harmed by gastrointestinal discomfort. If anything, he will be soothed by the beautiful music bubbling and flowing in his stomach. However, if the swelling - which often worsens later in life - prevents you from eating regularly and well, your baby won't be so happy.

To avoid this risk and minimize your discomfort, try the following:

Regular bowel movements

Constipation is a common cause of gas and bloating. Eat small meals frequently and don’t overeat. Large meals can exacerbate this bloated feeling, and they can also overtax your digestive system, which is already inefficient during pregnancy. It is better to eat six small meals, or three medium-sized meals with some snacks, than three large meals.

Don't overeat

When you eat quickly or in a hurry, you are bound to swallow as much gas as food, which can form painful air pockets in your stomach.

Keep a calm mind, especially when eating. Tension and anxiety can cause you to swallow gas, which can cause bloating. Taking a few deep breaths before eating can help you relax.

Avoid gas-causing foods

Your stomach will tell you which ones are there - they vary from person to person. Common culprits include onions, cabbage, fried foods, nutrient-dense sauces, sugary sweets, and of course the infamous beans.

The above methods are all practical methods in our daily life. We can learn and understand from the above methods. In this way, we can effectively alleviate the uncomfortable phenomenon of stomach bloating during the third month of pregnancy. Only by paying attention to the above points can we stay away from the pain brought by bloating.
