Belly rumbling in early pregnancy

Rumbling sounds in the stomach during early pregnancy may be caused by flatulence caused by fetal gas. This is normal and is caused by hormone changes in the pregnant woman. Most pregnant women have gastrointestinal problems, which are more serious in the first three months of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the corpus luteum copper continues to increase, which affects the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption ability, and of course also affects metabolism. During pregnancy, gastric juice is relatively high, which is prone to flatulence and constipation.

In the early stages of pregnancy, most pregnant women will experience discomfort in their bodies. This is generally a normal reaction to pregnancy and there is no need to worry too much. As long as it does not affect the fetus, we need to adapt ourselves to it. Pregnancy is very difficult, but as long as the baby in the belly is healthy, we need to continue. Some pregnant women experience gurgling sounds in their abdomens in the early stages of pregnancy. Let’s take a look at the reasons below.

1. What causes stomach gurgling in early pregnancy?

This is a very common symptom in early pregnancy. It may be flatulence caused by fetal gas. It is normal and is caused by hormone changes in pregnant women. Most pregnant women have gastrointestinal problems, which are more serious in the first three months of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the corpus luteum copper continues to increase, which affects the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption ability, and of course also affects metabolism. The gastric juice is relatively high during pregnancy, and flatulence and constipation will immediately occur at this time. Some pregnant women also have nausea and vomiting, which will gradually improve after the early pregnancy. If the pregnant woman's gastrointestinal tract is not very good, and she often suffers from symptoms such as constipation and bloating, the bloating during pregnancy will last longer and will not be relieved until around 4-5 months of pregnancy.

2. How to relieve stomach rumbling in early pregnancy

1. Adjust your diet

Stomach bloating must start with adjusting the diet. If pregnant women feel bloating and eat a lot of food, it will increase the gastrointestinal burden and make the bloating more serious. Therefore, pregnant women can change their diet structure from three meals a day to six to eight meals a day, with each meal having a smaller portion. Be careful not to eat too many types of food at each meal, and don't eat too much liquid food. You can choose semi-liquid food, such as porridge.

2. Daily bowel movements

Eating more vegetables and high-fiber foods can cleanse the stomach and intestines, while eating less beans and other foods that easily cause gastrointestinal bloating.

3. Moderate fitness exercise

Movement of the human body or waist can promote intestinal peristalsis. Exercise during pregnancy does not need to be too intense. Walking and yoga can also relieve gastrointestinal bloating. Therefore, pregnant women can take a walk outside for about 20 minutes 30 minutes after a meal, which can promote digestion and expel gas, but jogging is not suitable.

4. Drink plenty of water

You should drink hot water before breakfast, at least 2000 ml a day to prevent dry stool.

Pregnant women can also take pure honey in moderation, which is also very good for the gastrointestinal tract and has a protective effect. If the abdomen keeps gurgling, don't be too nervous. You can eat honey to see if it can relieve it. If it keeps like this, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the actual cause. If it is not ruled out that it is caused by gastrointestinal problems, medical treatment will be enough.
