Many expectant mothers have heard of jealousy, but they don't know its true meaning, so they are confused. Vinegar heart is indeed a common term during pregnancy, but it is a common name and has not been widely used, so a large part of pregnant women are still confused about vinegar heart. So what is pregnancy jealousy?
Jealousy is actually a colloquial term for the symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn, mostly caused by a burning sensation due to excessive secretion of stomach acid. Each pregnant mother has a different constitution, and the symptoms that usually occur after pregnancy will also be different, which is a normal physiological response for pregnant mothers.
Jealousy is particularly severe in late pregnancy, as the enlarged uterus can compress the stomach and hormone levels can increase. In addition, factors such as slowed gastrointestinal motility and elevated diaphragm can make the symptoms of acid reflux more pronounced. However, this symptom does not require special treatment and will automatically disappear after the fetus is delivered.
Jealousy can indeed make expectant mothers feel uncomfortable, so it is important to try to alleviate symptoms as much as possible and first stay away from spicy and stimulating foods. Secondly, it is important to have small and frequent meals, with each meal being 70% full. After finishing a meal, do not immediately lie down or bend over. Sleep half an hour after lunch and three hours after dinner.
Sleeping position is also very important, and pregnant mothers can use an extra pillow while sleeping. Raising the head can reduce the risk of esophageal reflux.
