What’s wrong with your stomach during pregnancy?

Many women experience digestive discomfort after pregnancy. The increase in progesterone after pregnancy reduces smooth muscle tone and muscle relaxation, and acidic contents in the stomach reflux to the lower esophagus, producing a burning sensation in the stomach and a longer gastric emptying time, making it easy to experience fullness in the upper abdomen. After pregnancy, the chorionic gonadotropin level and estrogen level in the body rise, and digestive symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may occur. Also, women who are more nervous, overly anxious or in a poor financial situation during pregnancy are also prone to early pregnancy reactions. If vomiting occurs, you can take vitamin B6 or vitamin B6-doxylamine complex. Eat a light diet with less spicy and stimulating foods. If vomiting is severe or combined with other discomfort, you need to seek medical attention. If vomiting is severe, intravenous rehydration therapy is required, otherwise electrolyte disorders may occur. If the symptoms are not relieved after medication, persistent proteinuria, jaundice, elevated body temperature, tachycardia, etc., termination of pregnancy may be required.
