Does pregnancy cause hiccups?

Will you hiccup during pregnancy? Many people will have doubts about this question. During pregnancy, there will be early pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting. Pregnant women sometimes also have symptoms of hiccups. The main reason for this symptom may be due to indigestion, and sometimes it may be accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux and other symptoms. When you experience symptoms such as hiccups during pregnancy, do not be careless and go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Do you often hiccup during early pregnancy?

Frequent hiccups in the early stages of pregnancy may be caused by indigestion. In this case, you should take lactic acid bacteria or yeast tablets to help digestion. In addition, in the early stages of pregnancy, the woman's uterus will gradually expand, and the uterus will press on other organs, such as the stomach, bladder, etc. When the stomach and intestines are compressed, symptoms such as hiccups, difficulty defecation, and indigestion will appear. When the bladder is compressed, symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination, and incomplete urination will appear. You can massage your stomach appropriately, or walk around more after a meal.

It is recommended to go to the hospital to check the following items:

1. Department of Gastroenterology Patients with abdominal distension accompanied by heat and acid reflux, which worsens after eating or have diarrhea, should go to the Department of Gastroenterology.

2. General Surgery Patients with acute abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting, or no flatulence or bowel movements should be referred to the General Surgery Department. Patients with chronic abdominal distension accompanied by right upper abdominal pain, which worsens after eating greasy food, should also refer to general surgery.

3. Patients with frequent abdominal distension, back pain, and excessive leucorrhea should visit the gynecology department.

4. Patients with abdominal distension accompanied by aversion to oil and jaundice should visit the hepatitis department.

5. Patients with frequent abdominal distension and low fever should be referred to the Tuberculosis Department.

6. Cardiology: People with a history of heart disease and frequent abdominal distension should visit the cardiology department.

7. Neurology patients with lower limb paralysis who often have abdominal distension should go to the neurology department for treatment.

Stomach bloating and pain are very common gastrointestinal problems. Sometimes you just need to do some exercise or walk to relieve them, but sometimes the pain is so severe that you roll around in bed. Moreover, as long as it is abdominal pain, the symptoms are often similar, which often confuses people, not knowing whether it is an ulcer or a stomach upset. The most obvious symptom of abdominal bloating is a hollow sound when the abdomen is percussed. (Of course this part needs to be diagnosed by a doctor)

How to relieve early pregnancy discomfort

1. Missed menstruation

If your periods have always been regular, but this time your period didn't come on time, you may have already taken an early pregnancy self-test before you noticed the above symptoms. But if your periods are irregular or you don't remember your periods, early pregnancy symptoms like nausea, breast tenderness, and frequent bathroom breaks may indicate you're pregnant before you realize you're missing your period.

2. Basal body temperature remains high

In the early stages of pregnancy, the physical symptoms are not obvious, but one thing is that the basal body temperature remains high. If you track your basal body temperature and find that it is high for 18 consecutive days, you are likely pregnant.

3. Breasts become larger and more sensitive

One of the early signs of pregnancy is tender, sore breasts, which is caused by your increased hormone levels. This bloating and cramping feeling is very similar to what you feel before your period, only more intense. This discomfort will improve significantly after 3 months of pregnancy, when your body has adapted to the hormonal changes during pregnancy.

4. Fatigue

Do you suddenly feel tired or even exhausted? No one knows exactly what causes fatigue in early pregnancy, but rapidly increasing levels of progesterone (also called progesterone) may make you feel extra sleepy.

Once you reach the second trimester, you'll start to feel more energetic than you did in the first trimester, but fatigue usually returns toward the end of your pregnancy. This is because your weight will increase significantly during this time, and the common discomforts of pregnancy will also affect the quality of your sleep at night.

5. Nausea or vomiting

If you're like most women, morning sickness won't start until about a month after you conceive. A lucky few women go their entire pregnancy without experiencing this symptom. However, some women will start to feel nauseous before this. Morning sickness does not only occur in the morning, it can also occur at noon or at night. About half of women who experience morning sickness stop experiencing nausea and vomiting by the beginning of the second trimester. For most other women, it may take about a month before the symptoms of morning sickness are alleviated.
