What should I do if I feel stomach discomfort two months into my pregnancy?

Pregnancy is always accompanied by some physical discomfort. During this period, a series of physiological changes will occur throughout the body. The most common problem during pregnancy is stomach discomfort and poor appetite, which often occurs in the early and late stages of pregnancy. At this time, pregnant mothers will feel stomach discomfort and feel uncomfortable with dampness and heat in the body, which are all normal reactions. Now let’s talk about how to alleviate this discomfort.

The root cause of this is that as the fetus grows, the bottom of the uterus rises, pressing on the stomach and affecting the digestive function. This causes a small amount of gastric acid to reflux into the esophagus, throat and mouth, irritating the gastric mucosa and causing a burning sensation (or heartburn).

To alleviate the symptoms of stomach discomfort, you must first reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, maintain a habit of eating small and frequent meals, and eat less before going to bed.

Do not eat excessive amounts of spicy, hard, raw, cold, or difficult-to-digest food. Eat less sour food or food containing strong spices to avoid irritating the stomach and intestines.

Avoid eating large amounts of grains, beans, and heavily seasoned or fried foods.

It is not advisable to drink too much water within half an hour before and after meals. Although it will not cause stomach discomfort in theory, it will increase the burden on the stomach and increase the probability of stomach pain.

Avoid overeating, drink less alcohol, eat three meals at appropriate times and in appropriate amounts. Don't eat too much for breakfast. Don't lie down immediately after eating at night. If possible, it is best to drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed.

Prop yourself up with a cushion on the bed when you sleep. It also relieves stomach pain.

When you have stomach pain, do not take soda or medicines containing sodium bicarbonate. Although these medicines can temporarily relieve pain, their biggest disadvantage is that they increase gastric acid secretion and aggravate edema. If the pain is unbearable. Some aluminum hydroxide capsules can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, taking a semi-sitting sleeping position when in pain can also relieve pain.

We have already had a general understanding. What we need to note is that there are certain differences in people's bodies. Which foods will make the stomach more uncomfortable varies from person to person. We should observe our own feelings more and choose different methods to adjust ourselves reasonably so that we can better spend the entire pregnancy period.
