How to relieve stomach pain in early pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the most important things in a woman's life. It is also the most important event for a family, heralding the arrival of a new life. Pregnant women often face a lot of pain during pregnancy, especially in the first three months and last three months of pregnancy. For the health of pregnant women and children, they should always pay attention and take good care of themselves. So how should pregnant women relieve stomach pain in early pregnancy?

How to relieve stomach pain in early pregnancy

1. Don’t be too nervous and reduce your food intake appropriately

First of all, there is no need to be nervous and pregnant women should appropriately reduce their diet, especially foods with high sugar content.

2. You can give pregnant women some cornmeal porridge

You can give pregnant women more cornmeal porridge. If the digestion is okay, you can add some millet porridge and yam porridge (rice and yam in half, cut the yam into smaller pieces, and the cooking time must be longer, more than 15 minutes longer than the usual boiling time). Try not to eat pure rice porridge. Do not add any additional ingredients to the porridge at will, but you can add some dates appropriately. The diet should be light, and after the stomach pain symptoms are alleviated, high-calorie and high-nutrition foods can be gradually added.

3. You can use some antacids, and semi-sitting position can also relieve pain

If you often have stomach pain at night, ask your doctor to prescribe some antacids to take before bed. When the pain is unbearable, taking a semi-sitting position can relieve the pain. Generally, this symptom will gradually disappear after 3 months of pregnancy.

4. White Peony Root and Licorice Decoction

If the stomach pain symptoms are relatively severe, you can use 20 grams of white peony root and 10 grams of roasted licorice to make a decoction and take it, one dose per day, decocting each dose three times and taking it in three times. Heat it appropriately before each dose.

5. When the condition is serious, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to diagnose the cause and then receive targeted treatment.

Precautions

1. Correct bad eating habits

Eat more light foods, and less fatty, sweet and irritating foods, such as foods containing alcohol and spices. Be careful about food that is too sour, too sweet, too salty, too bitter, or too spicy, and do not have a preference for any of the five flavors. Patients who have a smoking habit should quit smoking.

2. Eat regularly and in regular amounts

Patients with long-term stomach pain should have three meals a day or snacks on time, with reasonable intervals between them. Patients with acute stomach pain should try to eat small meals frequently and should eat less or no snacks to reduce the burden on the stomach.

3. Pay attention to nutritional balance

Your daily diet should provide foods rich in vitamins to help protect the gastric mucosa, improve its defense capabilities, and promote the repair of local lesions.

4. If the pregnant mother has stomach problems, or cannot distinguish whether the stomach burning pain is caused by gastritis or pregnancy, it is recommended to go to the hospital to prevent the gastritis from getting worse. In addition, if vomiting is severe and some symptoms of acidosis appear, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
