After pregnancy, there will be many changes, but everyone's reaction is different depending on their individual situation. Most pregnant women experience changes in appetite, accompanied by a series of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and even frequent urination. So, do pregnant women have poor gastrointestinal function?
Pregnant women's digestive function will weaken during pregnancy. Because the hormone levels in the body increase after pregnancy, it can affect the function of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to imbalances in secretion. At this time, the functions of various organs in the body will gradually weaken, resulting in slower gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduced or increased gastric acid secretion. At this time, the activity level of pregnant women should be relatively reduced, and their nutrition should be relatively increased, which leads to a decrease in digestive and absorption function of the intestines and stomach, and may also cause constipation and other symptoms.
Pregnant women need to strictly control their diet during pregnancy because their gastrointestinal function is weakened. Therefore, they should eat more easily digestible and absorbable foods in their diet. Try to eat less and more frequently, and avoid overeating or binge eating at once. When there is a loss of appetite, you can also eat more foods that have stomach strengthening and digestive effects. For constipation, you can eat more foods containing crude fiber and exercise in moderation every day.
Pregnant women have different constitutions during pregnancy, and the symptoms caused by weakened gastrointestinal function are also different. In severe cases, it may affect the growth of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should effectively adjust and improve their symptoms according to their own occurrence.
