Pregnancy bloating and frequent farting

Symptoms such as abdominal bloating and frequent farting during pregnancy are common, which are directly related to diet. When this happens, you can't hold it in. If you hold it in, the intestines will reabsorb the gas and enter the blood circulation, which is not good for the body. Therefore, pregnant women should have a good attitude, pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and eat more vegetables and fruits that are rich in vitamins. Let us now take a closer look at the circumstances surrounding bloating and frequent farting during pregnancy.

After a woman becomes pregnant, the progesterone content in her body increases. Due to the effect of progesterone, gastrointestinal motility is weakened and gastric acid secretion is reduced, which can easily cause bloating, so she always farts to pass gas. Then in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the uterus expands and presses on the intestines, making it difficult for the intestines to move. The metabolism of expectant mothers is heavier than that of normal people, and the burden on the spleen and stomach is increased, which continues to hinder digestive activities, so expectant mothers always fart. Therefore, loving to fart has become a characteristic of expectant mothers during pregnancy.

Belly bloating in early pregnancy is a normal pregnancy reaction. Some pregnant women experience bloating throughout their pregnancy. If pregnant mothers feel bloated, they should try not to eat gas-producing foods in their daily diet, and try to focus on light-tasting, easily digestible foods. You can also take a walk after a meal to promote gastrointestinal digestion. After all, only when the pregnant mother is healthy can the baby develop better.

What to do if you have bloating during early pregnancy

1. Eat small meals frequently to help the stomach digest food faster. To effectively relieve bloating, you must start with diet.

2. Develop a daily bowel movement habit and eat more vegetables, fruits and high-fiber foods to promote gastrointestinal motility.

3. Appropriate exercise can promote intestinal peristalsis through whole body or waist muscle activities.

4. Abdominal massage, start from the lower right abdomen and massage in a clockwise direction with gentle force.

5. Drink enough water and drink boiled water before breakfast.

When pregnant mothers have a bloated stomach and want to fart, they must not hold it in because they feel embarrassed. This will not only affect the pregnant woman herself, but also the development of the fetus. Paying attention to your diet can effectively prevent bloating, but if the bloating is severe, you still need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
