Stomach discomfort in the 8th month of pregnancy

The stomach discomfort in the 8th month of pregnancy is considered to be caused by indigestion. In the 8th month of pregnancy, due to the growth of the fetus, the uterus will be on the top of the stomach, so that the space in the stomach becomes smaller and the peristaltic ability of the stomach decreases, coupled with the increase in the level of progesterone after pregnancy, which slows down intestinal peristalsis, pregnant women will have bloating and indigestion. If you overeat or eat spicy, stimulating, indigestible food, it will aggravate the symptoms of stomach discomfort. It is recommended that pregnant women should eat less and more meals, eat more light, easily digestible food and food containing high dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis. Pregnant women should also have 30 minutes of moderate physical exercise every day if their bodies allow it, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and reduce abdominal distension and other uncomfortable symptoms.
