Female friends often find that after becoming pregnant, they often appear to have poor mental state, physical weakness, poor diet, and even decreased appetite. It is often accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. So, what's the reason why pregnant women have poor appetite and don't want to eat?
1. A common reason for pregnant women to lose appetite and not want to eat is that in the early stages of pregnancy, the secretion of some hormones in the body increases, which can stimulate the digestive tract and cause excessive secretion of stomach acid, leading to nausea and even morning sickness. This is the main reason why women experience poor appetite and lack of appetite during early pregnancy.
2. Some pregnant women may also experience loss of appetite in mid pregnancy, as the fetus grows and enlarges the uterus, and an increase in the uterine fundus can compress the stomach organs in the upper abdomen. Therefore, pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy often have poor appetite. This is also a common physiological phenomenon among most pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy.
3. Physiological poor appetite during pregnancy can be regulated and improved through methods such as eating small meals frequently and engaging in moderate exercise. In addition, it is important to pay attention to timely prenatal check ups to rule out poor appetite and whether there are other causes of illness, such as anemia or stomach problems during pregnancy. If pathological reasons are found, actively seek treatment according to medical advice.
