What to do if you are pregnant and bloated

Flatulence in pregnancy can be treated by drinking more water, eating more fiber-rich food, proper massage and reasonable increase in exercise. 1. Drink more water: replenish the body’s need for water to avoid constipation. When a pregnant woman is constipated, fecal matter accumulates in the intestinal tract, which, together with the pressure of the enlarged uterus, can lead to flatulence. 2. Eat more food rich in fiber: fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins, can promote intestinal movement and discharge feces as soon as possible, thus relieving flatulence. 3. Appropriate massage: when intestinal motility is poor, you can relieve it by trying to use massage, but be sure to find the right position, do not massage the uterus, which will lead to uterine contraction. 4. Reasonable increase in the amount of exercise: you can walk for half an hour after meals to increase intestinal motility, promote digestion, absorption, and improve flatulence. If flatulence persists during pregnancy and cannot be relieved, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to avoid delay.
