What causes stomach pain in pregnant women?

In fact, many women are prone to stomach pain during pregnancy. This is because the enlarged uterus presses on the stomach, and hormonal changes cause stomach pain. Therefore, pregnant women are advised to pay attention to arranging their daily diet reasonably.

1. Pregnant women should first arrange their diet reasonably, eat small meals frequently every day, and eat less spicy and sour foods. You can choose to drink some porridge. You can eat porridge in different ways, adding a variety of grains and tonic foods to cook together. Don't just limit yourself to ordinary white rice porridge to prevent the nutrition from being monotonous.

2. Do not lie down within half an hour after a meal. Try to sit upright when eating so that stomach acid will not move upwards. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and pay attention to a balanced nutrition. If you often have stomach pain at night, please go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time and take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

3. When you have stomachache, use your thumbs to massage the Zusanli acupoints on both legs of the patient. The location of the Zusanli point is four finger widths below the outer kneecap and one finger width on the outer side of the tibia. After the feeling of soreness, numbness and swelling lasts for 3 to 5 minutes, the stomach pain will be significantly relieved or even disappear.

4. Experts point out that when the pain is unbearable, taking a semi-sitting position can relieve the pain. Generally, this symptom will gradually disappear after 3 months of pregnancy.
