How does the abdomen rise to return a responsibility at the beginning of pregnancy

summary

Abdominal distension during pregnancy refers to the phenomenon that the gas accumulated in the gastrointestinal tract is too much during pregnancy, which leads to gastrointestinal inflation and abdominal distension. It is a common problem for pregnant women. What's going on in the early stage of pregnancy? Let me talk about it.

How does the abdomen rise to return a responsibility at the beginning of pregnancy

First: in the early stage of pregnancy, due to the production of progesterone, the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract will relax and wriggle weakly, which is easy to make the acidic gastric contents flow back to the lower part of the esophagus. In addition, the time of gastric emptying will be prolonged. When the time of food remaining in the intestinal tract is prolonged, corruption and fermentation will occur under the action of bacteria. At this time, a large amount of gas will be produced, making pregnant women feel full.

Second: in the middle and later stages of pregnancy, with the growth of the fetus in the uterus, the gradually enlarged uterus will naturally compress the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to pushing the stomach up slightly, the intestine will also be pushed to the upper or both sides. Under the compression of the gastrointestinal tract, it will affect the normal excretion of the contents and gas, making the expectant mother feel uncomfortable.

Third: because the amount of activity of pregnant women is usually less than that before pregnancy, gastrointestinal peristalsis is weakened, and the content of eating during pregnancy will also be changed. Excessive intake of high protein and high-fat food will make the supplement of vegetables and fruits relatively insufficient. It will also cause feces to stay in the intestinal tract more easily, causing constipation and making abdominal distension more serious.
