It is quite common to experience bloating after pregnancy, which is related to the secretion of hormones in the body. But it can be effectively improved through a series of mitigation measures, such as diet and lifestyle habits. Next, let's learn in detail about what to do when pregnant women have bloating and what to eat?
1. Drink plenty of water, eat small meals frequently. Drinking water can promote diuresis and bowel movements, but excessive accumulation of feces in the large intestine can cause bloating. At the same time, it is necessary to adopt the approach of eating less and more meals, and avoid overeating to avoid exacerbating bloating.
2. Eat more coarse fiber food, glutinous rice soup, rice Congee, balsam pear ribs soup, lotus root powder and medlar soup. They are all very good food. They are rich in fiber, which is more conducive to relieving flatulence.
3. Moderate exercise and walking after meals can accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis, but it should be done half an hour to an hour after meals, and the speed should not be too fast. Walking can help pregnant women defecate and exhaust. And it is necessary to develop the habit of defecation every day to prevent constipation.
4. Massage can be used to further alleviate symptoms such as slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, food accumulation, or bloating. It should be noted that while massaging, avoid the uterine area to prevent uterine contractions.
5. Moderate consumption of spicy foods can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, such as ginger, garlic, and scallions, but in moderation, eating too much can also lead to heartburn.
