Why do I always burp during pregnancy?

Many people always have hiccups when they are pregnant, and this kind of hiccups is like having a bloated stomach after a meal. The hiccups are different from ordinary hiccups. In fact, hiccups during pregnancy may be due to some gas in the stomach, coupled with less secretion of gastric acid, which leads to gastrointestinal indigestion, and naturally hiccups will continue to occur. Pay attention to eating some easily digestible foods, and slowly adjust and improve through diet.

Pregnant women hiccup is the baby boy or girl

Hiccups during pregnancy are a normal physiological phenomenon caused by hormonal changes in the body. Hiccups have nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Currently, only B-ultrasound examination can correctly determine the gender of the fetus.

Causes of hiccups in pregnant women

1. During pregnancy, gastric acid secretion decreases, gastrointestinal motility weakens, and varying degrees of digestive dysfunction cause hiccups.

2. In the late pregnancy, as the fetus and uterus gradually grow larger, the diaphragm rises and hiccups occur.

3. It may be caused by other digestive system diseases.

What to do if a pregnant woman hiccups

1. Press the eyeball: When you hiccup, press your palm on the eyeball and apply a little pressure. Then a stream of gas will be discharged from the stomach and the hiccups will stop. If pressing the eyeball is not effective, you can press the upper edge of the eye socket instead, find the painful point on the edge of the eye socket, and then press and rub it vigorously a few times, and the hiccups will disappear. However, this method is not suitable for people with glaucoma, severe myopia and heart disease.

2. Stretching the tongue: When you hiccup, wrap a piece of clean gauze on your tongue, pinch your tongue with your fingers and stretch it outwards. At this time, you will feel gas rising in the abdomen and the hiccups will stop naturally.

3. Drink sweet and sour juice: use 2 tablespoons of vinegar, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, mix it into sweet and sour juice, and drink it to stop hiccups.

4. Drink warm water: When pregnant women are under great mental stress, the body's demand for oxygen will increase. As a result, you will mechanically suck in a lot of air through your mouth like a fish, causing hiccups. When you hiccup, it is recommended to drink a glass of oxygenated mineral water to replenish oxygen. Take a big sip of warm water and swallow it 7 times. Wait for a while and it will effectively stop the hiccups.

5. Eat a teaspoon of sugar and swallow it dry (without water). It can stop hiccups after a few minutes. At the same time, when you hiccup, you can press the second joint of the middle finger with your thumb for about 10 seconds.

In fact, hiccups in pregnant women have nothing to do with determining the sex of the fetus, so expectant mothers should not worry too much about it. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is the fruit of love between husband and wife and the continuation of life. If the expectant mother has symptoms of hiccups, she may try the methods introduced above to relieve hiccups. I hope it will be helpful.
