How to deal with abdominal bloating in early pregnancy

After many friends become pregnant, they will feel weak, have no appetite, feel dizzy and have headaches. Some friends will also experience bloating in the early stages of pregnancy and always fart. In the following article, let’s take a look at what to do when encountering such phenomena in life.

Expectant mothers can reduce symptoms of bloating and gas by:

1. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber and drink more water to promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve bloating. You should also maintain moderate exercise, such as walking, which can also promote gastrointestinal motility.

2. To reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines, try to eat small meals frequently. You can reduce the amount of food you eat at regular meals and add some yogurt, fruits, nuts and other foods between meals that are easy to digest and absorb without burdening your stomach.

3. Eat less difficult-to-digest food as it will increase the burden on your stomach and intestines. Greasy food, fried food, etc. are not suitable for eating during pregnancy. They are not easy to digest and absorb, will stay in the intestines for too long, and will aggravate bloating.

4. Pay attention to chewing slowly when eating, and don't eat too fast. Eating too fast will cause you to take in a lot of gas, which increases the burden on your stomach and intestines; chewing food into pieces will promote digestion and absorption.

In addition, foods that easily produce gas can also aggravate bloating and flatulence. Expectant mothers who suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort and frequent constipation should eat less gas-producing foods.

Gas-producing foods are foods that can produce gas when entering the digestive tract, such as beans, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, green peppers, eggplants, sweet potatoes, potatoes, bananas, corn and other foods. Carbonated beverages such as cola and soda are all gas-producing foods and should be avoided as much as possible.

In the above article, we learned that abdominal bloating in early pregnancy is very normal. Usually it is caused by indigestion. It is recommended that you choose to exercise more, drink more boiled water, and eat some whole grains to replenish the body.
