Causes of abdominal discomfort in late pregnancy:

1. It is because the uterus becomes larger during pregnancy, which compresses the stomach and intestinal organs, causing them to shift. When the stomach and intestinal organs shift, the original ligaments will be pulled, causing abdominal pain. Most of this pain can be relieved by bed rest.

2. Due to the increase in blood flow, it is easy to cause abdominal discomfort. This is just like after eating, a large amount of blood will flow into the gastrointestinal tract, making the stomach become more swollen, and some people even feel dizzy. By the same token, during pregnancy, a large amount of blood will flow into the uterus to provide the nutrients needed for fetal growth. As a result of the blood flow effect, the abdomen becomes uncomfortable.

3. The progesterone in the hormone slows down the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, reduces its tension, and slows down the emptying time, which can easily cause constipation and abdominal discomfort.

Pregnant women are advised to eat small and frequent meals to avoid stomach bloating, abdominal pain and other discomforts; they should also control their emotions, not lose their temper or feel anxious, and always maintain a happy mood;

Above we have learned about stomach discomfort in pregnant women. This phenomenon is mostly caused by not paying attention to diet in daily life. It is recommended that all friends should pay active attention to their own diet, especially compared to many friends who often experience nausea and vomiting.
