What to do if you have gastroenteritis during pregnancy

I believe that women who have been mothers know very well that the most feared thing during pregnancy is getting sick. Because you cannot take medicine during pregnancy, many medicines will harm the fetus, affect the fetus's growth and development in the mother's body, and may even cause fetal malformations. Even medicines suitable for pregnant women will have some effects to a certain extent. Gastroenteritis is a relatively common disease. Let’s talk about what women should do if they have gastroenteritis during pregnancy?

Pregnant women have many preferences for food, such as spicy, sour, irritating, and cold food, which may inevitably cause gastrointestinal discomfort. If your gastrointestinal function is weak, please pay more attention to protecting yourself and pay attention to your diet. The critical moment of pregnancy is the critical moment of the baby's development, so it is best not to use medication. It is recommended that if abdominal pain occurs, you should first apply heat to the upper abdomen with a hot water bottle of moderate temperature to relieve pain and discomfort. Eat a lighter diet. You can drink some easily digestible foods such as rice porridge and soft noodles in the next two days. Please do not drink milk or soy milk on an empty stomach to avoid intestinal cramps. If the abdominal pain symptoms do not ease, it is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to the obstetric situation and go to the obstetrics department for an examination.

If you get gastritis during pregnancy, the best way is to use green therapy to treat it. This way there will be no side effects, and if used properly, the treatment speed is no slower than medication. Some pregnant women can only eat small meals frequently and cannot take medicine. They have to take care of their stomachs on their own. If they vomit too much, their stomachs will be damaged. They should eat light food. A lot of the baby's nutrition is absorbed from the mother's body. At most, they will be a little bit worse off. The baby will basically be fine. It doesn't need as much as you think. As long as it is healthy, it's fine.

The above is the answer to the question of what to do if women have gastroenteritis during pregnancy. Getting gastroenteritis during pregnancy is a problem that troubles many expectant mothers. If it is only mild gastroenteritis, it is recommended not to take medicine. You can try to slowly start nourishing your stomach. You must change your diet and stop eating dry, spicy and irritating foods. Try to eat lighter foods.
