Will my belly swell during pregnancy?

Pregnant mothers become the focus of protection in the family. They will experience pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting in the early stages of pregnancy. As the belly becomes bigger and bigger during pregnancy, abdominal distension will occur. This is because the embryo gradually grows larger and presses on the intestines, so the intestines cannot be excreted normally and gas will appear. In addition, constipation and obstruction can cause abdominal distension. There are many common symptoms during pregnancy, and expectant mothers should be vigilant about these.

Common symptoms of early pregnancy

Everyone has different reactions to early pregnancy. Some people are sleepy, some are afraid of cold, and some feel uncomfortable when they smell oil. These symptoms usually appear 6 weeks after amenorrhea and generally last until 3 months of pregnancy. Everyone's situation will be different, which is related to personal hormones. Some people's early pregnancy reactions last longer and may not disappear until 16-18 weeks.

Vomit! what to do

Early pregnancy reactions are very severe, and more than 60% of pregnant women have experienced vomiting after getting up in the morning. The sudden nausea and vomiting made the expectant mother look a little embarrassed.

Most women will experience nausea and vomiting when they are more than 6 weeks pregnant, usually within a few hours after waking up in the morning. Those with mild symptoms have a decreased appetite, occasional nausea, and vomiting. A few people have obvious symptoms, vomiting whatever they eat, even if they don’t eat. The vomiting is not limited to the morning, and their sense of smell is particularly sensitive, and smelling disgusting odors will cause vomiting.

Vomiting in early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to be overly nervous. It usually has little impact on your health and does not require treatment. Just keep a happy mood, stable emotions and get enough rest. For most people, these symptoms disappear on their own after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Of course, pregnant women who vomit extremely severely and vomit everything they eat will have their metabolism disordered and need to go to the hospital for treatment and, if necessary, be hospitalized for intravenous infusion.

Get enough sleep.

Morning sickness can affect appetite, so in the early stages of pregnancy, just eat whatever you want without deliberately eating more or less.

Foods such as lemon juice, hawthorn juice, potatoes, and biscuits can improve morning sickness.

Pregnant mothers who are working may suddenly feel like vomiting in the office or on the road, which will inevitably make us feel embarrassed. We need to prepare in advance. Always carry a towel and mouthwash with you, pay attention to public facilities along the way when commuting, and calculate the fastest route to the bathroom. If you haven't told your boss about your pregnancy yet, come up with a compelling reason to do so. In addition, you need to make a flexible schedule, estimate your own endurance and possible difficulties, and arrange your work well.

Fatigue and drowsiness

In the early stages of pregnancy, expectant mothers tend to feel tired and often want to sleep.

During the early stages of pregnancy, many women experience general weakness and fatigue, or have no interest in doing things, feel drowsy and lack energy all day long. This is one of the normal reactions in early pregnancy and will naturally improve after 3 months of pregnancy.

Frequent urination, is this normal?

When I first got pregnant, I always wanted to go to the toilet and always felt that my urine was not complete. Is this normal?

Many pregnant women experience frequent urination in the early stages of pregnancy. During the first three months of pregnancy, the uterus gradually grows in the pelvic cavity, pressing on the bladder, causing the expectant mother to constantly feel the urge to urinate. In the middle of pregnancy, the uterus will move up to the abdominal cavity, and the phenomenon of frequent urination will improve. But towards the end of pregnancy, frequent urination will reappear.

If you feel the need to urinate frequently, you may want to go to the toilet more often. It’s okay, just try not to hold your urine. If you experience any unusual symptoms such as pain or burning when urinating, seek medical help immediately.

Do not drink water within 1-2 hours before going to bed to reduce the number of times you get up at night.
