Do you always fart after pregnancy?

Farting is a very common thing, but many people are always embarrassed about it, and they also think it is very embarrassing to fart in public. In fact, farting is a very normal thing. Some women love to fart after pregnancy. Generally speaking, farting is a healthy behavior, but if you fart too frequently during pregnancy, you must pay attention to it. So what is the reason for frequent farting after pregnancy?

1. Why do pregnant women like to fart?

After pregnancy, due to some changes in the body, pregnant women often experience indigestion symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. This is because the progesterone content in the pregnant woman's body increases. Due to the effect of progesterone, gastrointestinal motility is weakened, gastric acid secretion is reduced, and the gradually enlarging uterus compresses the gastrointestinal tract, hindering digestive activity, so pregnant women fart often. This situation is normal and generally does not require drug treatment. It can be improved to varying degrees through reasonable diet adjustments. However, if you fart too much, more than normal, it may be gastritis, enteritis, gastrointestinal motility disorder and other diseases. Pregnant women should not be careless at this time. This is a distress signal from the body. Pregnant mothers must go to the hospital for examination in time!

2. Pregnant mothers can’t hold back from farting

In order to avoid embarrassment, many pregnant women hold their farts in public. The editor would like to remind everyone that holding in farts for a long time still has a certain impact on the human body. Toxic gases cannot be released in the simplest way, which not only increases the burden on the body, but also easily causes chronic poisoning of the body. In addition, farts that are not released will be absorbed by the intestinal wall and enter the blood, which is also one of the reasons why people age easily.

3. How to solve the problem of frequent farting in pregnant women?

1. Reduce the intake of starchy foods

During pregnancy, you can eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement the nutrients needed for the healthy development of your baby. However, foods such as starch, pasta, and beans, which are easy to produce gas and cause gastrointestinal discomfort, are required in smaller quantities and do not need to be consumed in large quantities.

2. Eat small and frequent meals during pregnancy

It is recommended to eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. When eating, you should chew slowly to avoid swallowing too much air. Foods that easily produce gas should also be avoided. In addition, don't just eat liquid food, because liquid food is not easy to digest for the stomach and intestines. It is best to choose semi-solid food, such as cheese.

3. Take more walks during pregnancy

Walking is also a good way to promote intestinal peristalsis. As long as the pregnant woman is healthy and normal and is not at risk of premature birth, she can go outside for a walk for 20 to 30 minutes 30 minutes to 1 hour after a meal. Studies have shown that light exercise is suitable for pregnant women, so just walk slowly when taking a walk, which can also help with bowel movements and gas discharge.
