Some women may not have experienced pregnancy or childbirth, so they may not be aware of certain phenomena that occur after pregnancy, such as bloating during pregnancy, and they are often worried about this situation, fearing that it may affect fetal development. So, what is the reason for bloating when pregnant?
1. After pregnancy, the increase of estrogen and progesterone in women's bodies can also cause uterine congestion to ensure sufficient nutrition for early embryos. These hormones can maintain the uterus in a relatively stable resting state, which is beneficial for the enlargement and increase of uterine muscle fibers during pregnancy. Moreover, these hormones play a crucial role in maintaining early pregnancy. Therefore, pregnant women often feel uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating.
2. As the gestational age increases, the uterus will gradually enlarge, which will compress the intestinal and gastric tissues, causing slow intestinal peristalsis and easily leading to indigestion and constipation during pregnancy. This is also an important reason for abdominal discomfort and bloating during pregnancy.
3. If the diet during pregnancy is unclean or if there is a cold in the abdomen, it can also cause bloating during pregnancy. So during pregnancy, it is also important to pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. For example, if pregnant women often have indigestion, they should not eat too much each time. They can arrange to eat a few more meals a day and eat less each time. This method of eating less and more meals can also reduce bloating and ensure proper nutrition during pregnancy.
