Is it normal to fart when pregnant?

Under normal circumstances, everyone will fart, but some women love to fart especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Many women are afraid that this is caused by disease and that it will affect the baby's growth and development. In fact, pregnant mothers don't have to worry too much. Most women eat more but rarely exercise after pregnancy, which can easily lead to slower gastrointestinal motility. Therefore, it is easy to get bloating, which can cause farting, and most of the time it is normal.

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.
