What to do if you have stomach pain one month into pregnancy

Some pregnant women have health problems during pregnancy, so pregnant women need to pay attention to take appropriate treatment methods in time, so as to ensure the safety of the patient and avoid dangerous situations in pregnant women, which will threaten the safety and health of the patient. So what should I do if I have stomach pain one month into pregnancy? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. Pregnancy causes sphincter relaxation and acid reflux. After pregnancy, the sphincter relaxes due to hormonal changes, and the food we eat can easily come up (the sphincter is located at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach, which makes the food we eat can only go down but not come up). It causes the acidic contents in the stomach to reflux into the esophagus, throat and mouth, irritating the mucous membrane.

2. The gradually growing uterus compresses the stomach and intestines, making it easier for stomach acid to reflux. In the late pregnancy, the growing uterus will also compress the stomach. In addition, hormones relax the muscles separating the esophagus and stomach, making it easier for stomach acid to surge upward and cause a burning sensation in the chest.

Countermeasures:

1. Eat a balanced diet, eat small and frequent meals. Eat less spicy and sour food, and do not lie down within half an hour after a meal (try to sit upright when eating so that stomach acid will not move upwards). Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and pay attention to nutritional balance.

2. You can use some antacids, and a semi-sitting position can also relieve pain. If you often have stomach pain at night, ask your doctor to prescribe some antacids for you and take them before going to bed. When the pain is unbearable, taking a semi-sitting position can relieve the pain. Generally, this symptom will gradually disappear after 3 months of pregnancy.

3. If the condition is serious, you should see a doctor. If the pregnant mother has stomach problems, or cannot distinguish between gastritis and stomach burning pain caused by pregnancy, it is recommended to go to the hospital to prevent the gastritis from getting worse. In addition, if vomiting is severe and some symptoms of acidosis appear, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Commonly used dietary remedies for stomach pain include:

(1) 250 grams of old ginger and 250 grams of brown sugar. Mash the ginger to remove the residue, steam it for 10 times, dissolve the brown sugar into the paste, and take it within 4 days, once in the morning and once in the evening. Efficacy: Warming the middle and dispelling cold.

(2) Appropriate amounts of honey, brown sugar, and 5 grams of safflower. Put safflower in a thermos cup, brew it with boiling water, cover it, and after soaking for 10 minutes, add honey and brown sugar, and drink it while it is hot. Efficacy: soothing the stomach and intestines, relieving pain and removing ulcers.

(3) 60 grams of dried ginger and 40 grams of roasted aconite. Crush the dried ginger and roasted aconite into fine powder, put them in a clean container, then add 500 ml of rice wine, seal it, open it after 7 days, remove the residue and set aside. Take 1 to 2 cups warm before meals, 3 times a day. Efficacy: Warming the middle and dispelling cold.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If a pregnant woman has the above problems, she should take appropriate treatment measures in time to ensure the safety of the patient. In particular, the patient should pay attention to the safety and health of the fetus to avoid danger. Finally, I wish the pregnant woman a smooth delivery.
