Why do I fart a lot in early pregnancy?

After a woman becomes pregnant, in the early stages of pregnancy, the hormone levels in her body are constantly changing, and the pregnant woman's body will also undergo great changes. Some people will experience back pain, and some will experience loss of appetite, breast pain and other discomfort symptoms, but these are all normal, so don't worry too much. Some people like to fart in the early stages of pregnancy, which is very embarrassing. What's going on?

Why do I fart a lot during early pregnancy?

Early pregnancy: caused by changes in hormone secretion. Late pregnancy: The uterus enlarges, compressing the intestines, making bowel movements difficult. The most serious time is the first 3 months after pregnancy, with some nausea and vomiting symptoms, which last until four or five months of pregnancy, and gradually decrease after 34 weeks.

Changes in hormone levels after pregnancy may lead to decreased gastrointestinal smooth muscle tone and reduced peristalsis. The pregnant mother's condition may be related to her diet, so try to avoid eating cold food during pregnancy and avoid contact with stimulating cold substances. Close observation is required, and abnormalities should be checked in time at the hospital to avoid affecting normal embryonic development.

Gastrointestinal bloating in pregnant women will not cause serious problems to the fetus, but it should be noted that when the pregnant mother has stomach discomfort, her appetite will deteriorate and she will not get enough nutrition. For example, in the first 3 months of pregnancy, the fetus needs protein, and in the late pregnancy, the fetus needs nutrition the most. At this time, the pregnant mother will become picky about food due to bloating and discomfort and poor absorption ability, making the fetus unable to absorb enough nutrition.

The way pregnant mothers often deal with pregnancy is: eat small meals frequently: eat 6 to 8 meals a day, and don't eat too much food. In addition, pregnant mothers should not eat liquid food, so semi-solid food such as cheese is the best choice. Eat more fiber: vegetables, fruits, beef, fish. Drink more water: Don’t drink cold water, and drink less stimulating drinks, soda, coffee, and tea. Get proper massage. Walk more: 30 minutes to an hour after a meal, walk outside for 20 to 30 minutes.

It is normal for pregnant women to fart more after becoming pregnant. In the early stages of pregnancy, hormonal changes slow down gastric motility, leading to gastrointestinal bloating. It is recommended that pregnant mothers should pay more attention to food safety in the early stages of pregnancy. For example, some raw and cold foods, some junk foods, etc. should not be eaten. Sometimes you can stay healthy by eating small meals frequently.

Is it normal to fart a lot during early pregnancy?

During pregnancy, I can muster up the courage to ask the doctor about constipation, hemorrhoids and other usually private topics because I consider the safety of both mother and child. But when it comes to the issue of always farting, I can’t bring myself to say it, but the problem does exist.

It is very embarrassing to burp in the presence of outsiders, not to mention farting. However, for expectant mothers, such things are inevitable. Expectant mothers will find that their stomachs are bloated and they fart a lot in the early stages of pregnancy. The reasons are:

1. Caused by changes in hormone secretion. During pregnancy, the level of progesterone in the body gradually increases, which weakens the intestinal motility, affects the excretion function, and causes symptoms of bloating and constipation.

2. The expansion of the uterus compresses the intestines, slowing down their peristalsis and causing nausea, stomach pain, bloating, and difficulty breathing.

From a dietary perspective, eating too much staple food and meat, and not enough vitamins and fiber, can also slow down intestinal motility, leading to constipation and frequent farts.
