What to do if a pregnant woman has stomach pain at night

Stomach discomfort has a relatively large impact on people's bodies, because the stomach undertakes many functions of the human body, and digestion is the most important function. For pregnant women, the health of the stomach can be directly related to the intake of nutrients, which indirectly affects the development of the fetus. However, some pregnant women have symptoms of stomach pain when sleeping at night. So, what should pregnant women do if they have stomach pain at night?

Due to pregnancy, hormonal changes in the body can cause retrograde peristalsis of the stomach, causing the acidic contents in the stomach to reflux into the esophagus and mouth, irritating the mucosa and causing burning pain or acid reflux.

After pregnancy, the body's metabolism speeds up and requires a lot of energy. There is a lot of gastric acid in the stomach, and nausea makes you eat less, so you usually have a lot of gastric acid residue, which damages the gastric mucosa and you will feel pain. Vomiting will also aggravate the symptoms. In fact, this is all normal and you will feel better after eating something. It is best not to eat sour fruits at this time, which may aggravate the symptoms, so you don’t need to worry too much. Pay attention to the color of your stool. If it turns black, you need to take a sample for testing to see if there is blood.

If you have stomach pain, you must be very careful about your diet. Avoid eating raw or cold foods, such as watermelon, radish, etc. Also, try to avoid foods that are particularly difficult to digest, greasy, spicy foods that can easily irritate the stomach. Try not to take medicine to relieve stomach pain.

The above is an explanation of what pregnant women should do if they have stomach pain at night. I hope everyone can understand that pregnant women are in a more cautious state in life, especially in diet. Being careful can avoid many unnecessary troubles. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women choose healthier foods and easy-to-digest foods when eating.
