Causes and dietary care of vomiting in late pregnancy

Vomiting after pregnancy is an early pregnancy phenomenon, but some pregnant women vomit in the late pregnancy, which causes serious psychological burden and great pressure on pregnant women. Many pregnant women will be confused about vomiting in late pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the causes of vomiting in late pregnancy. Only after discovering the causes can effective care methods be taken. Let us understand the causes of vomiting in late pregnancy and dietary care.

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the fetus gradually grows, the pressure in the abdominal cavity also increases. If the hiatus widens, the fundus of the stomach can be pushed into the chest cavity through the widened esophageal hiatus. This is medically called "hiatal hernia." Because the upper opening of the stomach is relaxed, gastric acid, gas, and food in the stomach can reflux into the esophagus or mouth. Reflux esophagitis occurs when gastric acid irritates the esophageal mucosa. The incidence rate among pregnant women is approximately 30%-50%. Symptoms are sometimes more pronounced during late pregnancy. Therefore, expectant mothers are advised to: eat small and frequent meals, eat less sweet, spicy, or sticky food; do not lie flat on the bed or lie too low after meals, and try to bend over as little as possible to reduce acid reflux; keep bowel movements open. If you find symptoms of gastric reflux, try to raise your upper body about 20 degrees. If you feel obvious discomfort, go to the hospital for treatment in time. In addition, nausea and vomiting in late pregnancy need to rule out diabetes.

If a pregnant woman finds herself vomiting in the late stages of pregnancy, she must go to the hospital for examination and take treatment after finding out the cause. At this time, the patient must take good care of his diet to prevent unexpected situations. In the last three months of pregnancy, the fetus grows fast and needs adequate nutrition, so the dietary principles for pregnant women at this time are:

1. Don’t be picky about food or restrict your diet.

2. Don’t eat too much sweet, sour, bitter, spicy or salty food. Eat small meals frequently and choose foods that are easily digestible.

3. Eat more fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and eggs are essential.

Pregnant women in tropical areas like to drink soup, but they should not rely entirely on those two bowls of soup for nutrient absorption. The weight of a pregnant woman should not exceed 1 kg in a week. It is worth noting that some pregnant women are afraid that they will eat too much and the fetus will be too fat to be born. In fact, the size of the child is proportional to the pregnant woman's own conditions. It is normal for a 1.7-meter-tall pregnant woman to give birth to a 7-jin baby, but it is difficult for a 1.5-meter-tall pregnant woman. The normal range for a newborn baby is between 2.5 kg and 4 kg.

There must be a reason for vomiting in the late pregnancy. Pregnant women should not worry. As long as they go to the hospital for a regular examination, they can find out the cause of vomiting in the late pregnancy and take correct treatment or relief measures. At this time, the patient should also pay attention to dietary care, which can relieve vomiting. At the same time, pregnant women should also pay attention to physical exercise. The fetus grows very fast in the late pregnancy, which will cause a lot of discomfort to the pregnant woman's body. She must overcome the difficulties.
