What reason is abdominal distension in early pregnancy?

First of all, in the early stage of pregnancy, is caused by hormone secretion changes. At this time, the content of progesterone in pregnant women increases, which weakens gastrointestinal peristalsis and reduces gastric acid secretion, thus hindering digestion. Most pregnant women, the most serious flatulence, is in the first three months after pregnancy, after this period of time will slow down. So it's normal, and it doesn't affect the baby's health.

Secondly, in the middle and late pregnancy, the uterus expands and presses the intestines, which makes the intestines not easy to peristalsis. If pregnant women themselves have gastrointestinal diseases, such as constipation, flatulence and poor peristalsis, flatulence during pregnancy may last until about four or five months of pregnancy.

The most obvious period of flatulence in pregnant women usually occurs in the first trimester, that is, three months before pregnancy. After pregnancy, the ability of gastric acid excretion is poor, and the gastric acid is relatively high; In addition, just pregnant, that is, the ovary from ovulation to pregnancy during this period, the body lutein gradually increased, and lutein will make the intestinal peristalsis ability worse, excretion function is naturally affected, at this time will appear flatulence and constipation symptoms. Therefore, the main cause of flatulence in the first pregnancy is the change of hormone secretion. 　　

matters needing attention

Proper exercise, through the whole body or waist muscle activity can promote intestinal peristalsis. Proper exercise during pregnancy, such as walking, can also promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve flatulence. Therefore, it is suggested that pregnant women can walk outside for about 20 minutes from 30 minutes to an hour after meals to help defecate and exhaust. Note that some with impact or need to run too hard is not suitable.
