Rumbling sound in the stomach after giving birth

Some pregnant women will find that their stomachs make rumbling sounds after giving birth. This makes them confused and they don’t know what causes this problem. So, what is the cause of rumbling stomachs after giving birth? It seems answered.

Why does my stomach make rumbling sounds after giving birth?

This situation after giving birth may be because there is gas that has not been discharged from the body. This situation is more likely to occur in pregnant women who have undergone cesarean section, because after anesthesia, the stomach and intestines resume peristalsis and produce some gas, and the abdomen will also gurgle because of this. This situation will only improve after the gas is discharged. Pregnant women who choose natural delivery may also encounter this situation. As long as you pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and prevent the abdomen from getting cold, this situation can be improved quickly.

What to do if your stomach gurgles after giving birth

If your stomach growls loudly, and there is a lot of gas and a feeling of bloating, you can massage your abdomen appropriately to relieve the pain. Put your hands on your abdomen and rub it in a clockwise direction. This can have a venting effect. However, if you are a pregnant woman who has had a cesarean section, do not massage casually, otherwise the wound may be affected by the massage, which will make recovery more difficult.

In addition, pregnant women should not eat spicy food, raw or cold food, or greasy food after giving birth. After giving birth, you can get out of bed and exercise appropriately to speed up gastrointestinal motility, eat more vegetables, fruits and foods rich in dietary fiber to prevent constipation.
