Many pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, due to the pressure of the uterus on the gastrointestinal organs, slow down the peristalsis of the intestines and stomach, and easily experience abdominal bloating. This stage can lead to flatulence in pregnant women, and sometimes flatulence can make pregnant women feel embarrassed. So, I would like to ask how pregnant women can reduce flatulence?
If pregnant women are prone to abdominal bloating and frequent flatulence during pregnancy, they can drink plenty of warm water and engage in appropriate physical exercise. At the same time, they can maintain good eating habits, eat small and frequent meals, and consume foods rich in dietary fiber. This can help strengthen gastrointestinal peristalsis, lubricate the intestines, promote bowel movements, alleviate bloating symptoms in pregnant women, and reduce the occurrence of flatulence symptoms.
Pregnant women should also pay attention to avoiding excessive consumption of foods that can easily cause abdominal bloating, such as pasta, starchy foods, and legumes, in order to reduce the occurrence of flatulence. During this period, pregnant women can also learn some scientific massage techniques to massage their abdomen appropriately, which can also promote exhaust and reduce flatulence.
In addition, pregnant women should avoid prolonged bed rest during pregnancy and engage in appropriate physical activities, especially walking outdoors after meals. This can effectively promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, aid in defecation and exhaust, prevent abdominal bloating and flatulence, and is beneficial for the healthy development of the fetus.
