When female friends learn that they have just become pregnant, they must be very excited in their hearts, but then some phenomena may also begin to appear, such as farting. Some female friends may find that when they are just pregnant, their body always starts to fart unconsciously, and the smell is particularly strong. So, why do they always fart when they are just pregnant?
It is normal to fart during the early stages of pregnancy. As the fetus continues to grow, the uterus expands and compresses the intestines, making it difficult for the intestines to move, resulting in bloating. After bloating, the body needs to expel gas, which is commonly known as farting. Pregnant women's flatulence can also be caused by an increase in the level of progesterone in their bodies. Due to the effect of progesterone, gastrointestinal peristalsis is reduced, gastric acid leakage is reduced, and the gradually increasing uterus restricts gastrointestinal activity, hindering digestive activity. Therefore, pregnant women tend to fart frequently.
The first step to avoid bloating is to start with diet. When there is bloating, the stomach is already very swollen. If you eat a lot of food, it will cause the stomach to work too much and become even more bloated. Therefore, it is recommended to eat 6-8 meals a day instead of overeating at once. Don't just eat liquid foods, because liquid foods are not easy to digest for the digestive system. It is best to choose semi-solid foods such as cheese.
During pregnancy, you can eat more vegetables and fruits. During pregnancy, babies need a large amount of protein, such as starch, pasta, and beans, which are prone to gas production and can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. The demand is relatively low, and there is no need to consume too much. In addition, it is possible to consume sugar and starch appropriately. Apples and pears are good sources, and starch and protein can also be obtained from meat. Beef and fish are good choices.
