If the stomach problem before pregnancy worsens, you need to see a gastroenterologist and use some gastric mucosal protectants or antacids to relieve stomach burning pain. Applying a hot water bottle to the affected area is helpful in relieving pain and generally has no effect on the fetus. In your daily diet, be careful not to eat too spicy food. Eat small meals frequently and eat less high-starch food to reduce the secretion of gastric acid.

Generally, chronic gastric disease before pregnancy has little effect on pregnancy, unless it affects eating and causes malnutrition, which may affect the growth and development of the fetus. Stomach pain symptoms worsen during pregnancy, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, mainly due to endocrine changes during pregnancy. The increase in the secretion of multiple hormones significantly prolongs gastric emptying time and intestinal transit time during pregnancy, resulting in a feeling of fullness after eating.

In addition, the tension of the lower esophageal sphincter during pregnancy also decreases, the pressure in the esophagus of pregnant women is low and the pressure in the stomach is high, so acidic secretions reflux into the lower esophagus, causing stomach pain during pregnancy to worsen. This is especially true for people with a history of chronic gastritis or chronic gastric ulcers, especially when the body position changes.
