Does pregnancy cause a lot of farting?

Throughout the pregnancy, pregnant women will always encounter problems of one kind or another. In the early stages of pregnancy, I was unwilling to eat and also had vomiting symptoms. In the later stages of pregnancy, uterine contractions will continue to occur, but some pregnant women also fart a lot. So does farting occur more during pregnancy?

It is possible that you will fart more during pregnancy. This is because as the fetus grows, the intestines will be compressed and the gastrointestinal motility will be slowed down. If the gastrointestinal motility is slow, it will cause more smelly farts.

1. During pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body bears the nutrients of two people, and the body's growth hormone also undergoes many changes at this time. In particular, estrogen will continue to increase, causing the body to produce luteinizing hormone, also known as progesterone. In the early stages of pregnancy, a good living environment can be provided for the fetus. However, it will affect the digestion and absorption of pregnant women, and affect their gastrointestinal tract, at which time they will love to fart.

2. During the continuous growth and development of the fetus, the pregnant woman's uterus is also continuously expanding. At this time, the uterus will cause too much pressure on some organs in the pregnant woman's body, especially the stomach and intestines. At this time, the pregnant woman will be prone to farting.

3. For many pregnant women, their taste buds change drastically during pregnancy, and they often feel hungry, are prone to overeating or drinking, or eat something that causes bloating, which can cause them to fart easily. In order to reduce the phenomenon of frequent flatulence, pregnant women should pay attention to reducing the intake of some starchy foods, such as sweet potatoes, radishes, onions, potatoes, etc.
