I'm pregnant and my stomach feels stuffy and uncomfortable

Abdominal discomfort during pregnancy is a problem that many women experience, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, the frequency of abdominal discomfort will become higher and higher. Many women feel abdominal tightness and discomfort and worry that there is something wrong with them. They are very anxious and worried. So what is the cause of abdominal discomfort and stuffiness during pregnancy?

In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the production of estrogen, the smooth muscles of the digestive tract will relax, intestinal motility will become weak, and symptoms such as abdominal bloating and constipation are all normal. Feeling hungry easily and having a poor appetite are all symptoms of early pregnancy. Exercise as much as possible to promote blood circulation, eat small and frequent meals, and avoid foods that are easy to cause bloating.

What to do if you have abdominal discomfort during pregnancy

The vast majority of pregnant women experience abdominal pain, hardness and discomfort in the late pregnancy. The baby's body expands a lot in the late pregnancy, so the space for the fetus to move is reduced. Therefore, when the baby wants to move a lot, it will offend the belly, especially for baby girls. Many folk legends have mentioned that baby girls are held close to their mothers, so their buttocks face their mothers' belly. In this way, when the pregnant mother's baby moves, her belly will have a big bulge and be a little hard. Although this has not been verified by real scientific research, many pregnant mothers with baby girls have this situation, so you should find a positive check for yourself!

Because the uterus becomes more sensitive in the later stages of pregnancy, once it is stimulated, it will cause uterine contractions. A common problem in late pregnancy is to pay attention to uterine contractions. These contractions are different from the contractions before delivery, and will not cause premature delivery of the fetus. However, pregnant women should also pay attention to these false contractions. When the stomach becomes hard, they should immediately stop the work at hand and take a rest. If false contractions occur while walking, stop and continue moving forward after they subside.

The abdomen in the late pregnancy has become a burden for pregnant women, so pregnant women must pay attention to rest. Many expectant mothers will feel tired after a little exercise, so they must rest more in the late pregnancy and don't try to do anything. Some pregnant women want to wash all the baby's clothes before the birth of the baby. These tasks are best done in the middle of pregnancy, when the pregnant women's movements are relatively convenient. If it is in the late pregnancy, they may cause excessive fatigue due to these tasks and cause premature birth.
