Will I keep farting during early pregnancy?

Mothers often fart frequently during pregnancy, which is very embarrassing. First of all, at work, if it happens, it will affect colleagues around them, and they have no way to control it. Sometimes the gas discharged smells particularly strong. In fact, expectant mothers generally fart frequently during pregnancy, and there is a reason for this.

Why do pregnant women often fart?

1. In the early stages of pregnancy, it is caused by changes in hormone secretion. The most obvious period for pregnant women to experience bloating usually occurs in the first trimester, which is the first 3 months of pregnancy. After pregnancy, the stomach's ability to excrete acid is poor and the stomach acid is relatively high.

2. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the uterus expands and presses on the intestines, making it difficult for the intestines to move. The compensatory manifestation of spleen and stomach function. Pregnant women have a heavier metabolism than normal people, and the burden on the spleen and stomach is increased. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and the transportation and transformation functions must keep up.

Bloating in pregnant women does not harm the fetus, it just has some minor impact. This is mainly because when the mother's stomach is uncomfortable, her appetite will decrease and she will not be able to take in enough nutrition. For example, in the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus needs protein, while in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, starch is the nutrient the fetus needs most. At this time, the mother will become picky about food due to the discomfort of stomach bloating and poor absorption ability, which will prevent the fetus from absorbing enough nutrients.

Pregnant mothers can solve the problem of frequent abdominal bloating and flatulence by eating small meals frequently. Eat 6-8 meals a day, but don't eat that much at once. Eat more fruits and vegetables and less gas-producing foods; drink more boiled water to facilitate bowel movements.
