Pregnant women’s stomach bloating at night may be caused by changes in hormone levels, indigestion, false contractions and other reasons.
1. Hormone level changes: due to changes in the levels of estrogen, progesterone, and human chorionic gonadotropin in the pregnant woman’s body, it may affect the gastrointestinal tract peristalsis, which prolongs the gastrointestinal emptying time, thus leading to pregnant women to have a bloated stomach at night.
2. Indigestion: If a pregnant woman eats too much indigestible food before going to bed, resulting in a buildup of food in the gastrointestinal tract, which cannot be digested, it will also lead to the pregnant woman to have a bloated stomach at night.
3. False contractions: mostly occurring in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, due to irregular contractions of the uterus, which can lead to pregnant women feel bloated at night, this feeling disappears in the early morning, and is not accompanied by shortening of the cervical canal, cervical dilatation.
If a pregnant woman has a bloated stomach at night, it is recommended that she consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor, improve the relevant examination, clarify the cause of the disease, and symptomatic treatment.
