Is stomach pain normal during pregnancy?

As the saying goes, it is impossible for people to not get sick if they eat whole grains! Maybe you have a good physique and strong immunity, and you think you will never get sick. However, it is normal to have some minor ailments occasionally! Because, if you can recover from a minor ailment without the help of external treatment, then your immunity will be improved! The human stomach is one of the most vulnerable parts of the body!

The stomach is like a cloth bag and is located in the upper left abdominal cavity. It is the largest part of the digestive tract, connecting the cardia and esophagus above and the pylorus and duodenum below. There are many rugged mucous membranes on the inner surface of the stomach, like hills and valleys. When the stomach is filled with food, the mucosa expands, allowing a larger contact area between the food and the stomach. The stomach is a storage and processing plant for food and is the main organ for food digestion. The stomach can secrete a large amount of highly acidic gastric juice (pH 0.9 ~ 1.5). Its main ingredients are pepsin which can break down protein, hydrochloric acid which can promote protein digestion, and mucus which protects the gastric mucosa from being digested by itself. A normal adult secretes about 1.5 to 2.5 liters of gastric juice per day. After rough processing in the mouth, the food enters the stomach, is stirred and mixed through the peristalsis of the stomach, and with the action of a large amount of enzymes in the digestive juice in the stomach, the food finally becomes a porridge-like mixture, which is beneficial for intestinal digestion and absorption. Therefore, the stomach is the food processing plant and the final stop for food digestion and absorption. Generally, children's stomach walls are thinner and smaller in size. The digestive fluid secreted by the gastric glands has low acidity and less digestive acid than adults. Their digestive ability is worse than that of adults, so it is best for children to eat easily digestible food.

It is normal to have stomach pain after pregnancy. Some pregnant women are prone to gastrointestinal reactions after pregnancy. It may be the influence of hormones in the body. It is recommended that you do not need to be nervous first. Appropriately reduce the diet of pregnant women, especially foods with high sugar content. In the current social conditions, it is rare to see pregnant women with malnutrition. On the contrary, there are more cases of overnutrition. Many people consciously or unconsciously increase their food intake after pregnancy, which is not good for the spleen, stomach and fetal development. You will feel more comfortable walking after eating. You don’t have to go outside for a walk. Walking at home is also effective. Applying hot compress to the painful area will also have a good effect!

Pregnancy, the arrival of a new life, is what so many people look forward to! Therefore, expectant mothers and fathers must know more about some common sense after pregnancy! When some minor problems occur to pregnant women, they can be resolved as soon as possible! Of course, you also need to know that when you are unsure or have difficulties that are difficult to solve, you should go to the hospital to ask a doctor!
