Reasons for farting during pregnancy

Many pregnant friends often feel exhausted and weak because their bodies are always unpredictable during pregnancy. Some friends even find that they always fart during pregnancy. Then they have to consider whether it is caused by inhaling air into their stomachs. So what is the main reason for this?

As the belly grows bigger day by day, the fetus gradually presses on the stomach, and the mother begins to feel abdominal distension. How to avoid and relieve this discomfort?

The most common causes of bloating during pregnancy

1. Early pregnancy: caused by changes in hormone secretion.

2. Mid-to-late pregnancy: The uterus expands and presses on the intestines, making it difficult for the intestines to move.

Doctor's reminder

1. For most pregnant women, bloating is most severe during the first three months of pregnancy, and is also accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting, which will gradually subside after this period of time.

2. If the pregnant woman already has gastrointestinal diseases, such as constipation, bloating, poor motility, or gastroenteritis, hyperacidity, or even gastric ulcers, the bloating during pregnancy will last longer, lasting until about four or five months of pregnancy.

Part 1 Impact on pregnant women

Progesterone makes bowel movements worse

The most obvious period of bloating in pregnant women usually occurs in the first trimester, which is the first 3 months of pregnancy. After pregnancy, the stomach's ability to excrete acid is poor, and the stomach acid is relatively high. In addition, when pregnancy is just beginning, that is, during the period from ovulation to pregnancy, the progesterone in the body gradually increases, and progesterone will make the intestinal peristalsis ability worse, and the excretion function will naturally be affected, and then symptoms of bloating and constipation will appear. Therefore, the main cause of bloating in the first trimester is changes in hormone secretion.

After entering the second trimester, the uterus slowly expands and will exceed the navel after 5 months of pregnancy. All the intestines will be squeezed to the top and left and right sides of the stomach. The entire space is occupied by the uterus, so it is easy to compress the large and small intestines, and the peristaltic ability will also deteriorate.

The above is an understanding of some phenomena of constant farting during pregnancy. The first thing everyone should consider is their usual diet. Do not consume too much food that is prone to bloating, including carbonated drinks, and remember to keep warm when sleeping.
