Stomach bloating is a common adverse symptom of the digestive tract. Some pregnant women may experience discomfort such as loss of appetite and bloating due to changes in hormone secretion in the body after pregnancy, which can also cause irritation to the digestive tract. So, what should pregnant women do if they have bloating?
1. The bloating of the stomach during pregnancy in women is often related to physiological changes after pregnancy, because hormone secretion in the body increases after pregnancy, which can be irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, gastrointestinal peristalsis during pregnancy is slower and less active, making it easier to experience bloating. It is recommended to eat small meals and engage in moderate physical activity based on one's own situation. This can promote intestinal peristalsis, facilitate the discharge of feces, reduce stomach pressure, and help alleviate bloating.
2. Pregnant women with bloating may also be caused by some medical problems, such as chronic gastritis or functional digestive disorders. So when there is bloating in the stomach, if the symptoms cannot be effectively improved through dietary adjustments and keeping warm, remember not to take medication on your own. You need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, and then under the guidance of a doctor, you can use drugs that help digestion and regulate the spleen and stomach for treatment.
3. Pregnant women who are prone to bloating should develop good eating habits and keep their stomach and abdomen warm. You can eat more warm stomach foods in moderation, and eat less hard, difficult to digest, and overly greasy foods.
