Why is my stomach bloating during pregnancy?

I believe many people have experienced bloating. Because now, with the rapid development of economy, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and many people's lives are irregular, especially in terms of diet. So, bloating will always be with us. But did you know that your belly will bloat after pregnancy? Many new mothers-to-be don’t know this.

There are many reasons for stomach bloating, such as mental stress, indigestion, etc., but the main reason is insufficient gastric motility. You can take vitamin C, metoclopramide, and Kaixiong Shunqi capsules for conditioning under the guidance of a doctor. Avoid eating irritating foods and foods that are sensitive to the body; eat regularly, chew slowly, quit smoking and drink less alcohol; maintain emotional stability, relax the mind, exercise moderately, and combine work and rest.

Pregnancy reaction is related to gastrointestinal discomfort. You can choose to eat small meals frequently to improve your condition, take a proper walk every day, and have regular pregnancy check-ups to clarify your condition. It will gradually improve after 3 months. At the same time, try to choose high-fiber foods and don't eat too much. After pregnancy, gastric acid secretion decreases, the tension of gastrointestinal smooth muscles decreases, and peristalsis weakens. At the same time, due to the weakening of abdominal wall muscle tension, the large intestine's absorption of water increases, so pregnant women are more likely to suffer from constipation. Constipation in pregnant women is mainly functional constipation. Suggestion: Drink honey water. Eat some figs, prunes, etc. Eat more fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in vitamins. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take appropriate medicines with mild laxative effects, such as Daodao, Ma Ren Ci Pi Wan, etc. If the condition is serious, you can use enema or glycerin suppository. It must be done under the guidance of a doctor. It is strictly forbidden to use laxatives, especially in the late pregnancy, to prevent miscarriage.

Don't reduce your activity just because you're pregnant! Take more walks, eat moderately, and don’t eat starchy foods when your stomach is bloated! Eat less staple food, including rice and pasta! Eat less sticky and sweet things! Eat more fruits and vegetables! Abdominal bloating is also the reason why the uterus enlarges slightly in early pregnancy, resulting in reduced intestinal motility! Another way I have is to drink yogurt so that our intestines can move more and expel gas! Don't eat anything other than food! It’s not good for you, it’s not good for your baby! If you still don't feel better this way, ask your husband to rub his hands together to warm them up and then massage your lower abdomen. Use your palms to gently massage your belly in a clockwise direction to help the intestines move, and the gas will be discharged soon! When my belly was severely bloated, my husband gave me this kind of massage every day! By the way, if you want to find out the cause of your bloating, don’t eat the food in the refrigerator! If you eat cold food to cool down in hot weather, you will also get bloated!

Therefore, don’t think that you are particularly delicate just because you are pregnant. You still have to do the things you should do and go to work as usual. Don’t think that you can’t do this or that just because you are pregnant. You should know that moderate exercise is good for both pregnant women and babies.
