What should I do if I keep having intercourse during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, due to the greater changes in hormone production in the body, women are more prone to various symptoms. Some symptoms may cause certain confusion to pregnant women. For example, some pregnant women will always hiccup during pregnancy and feel uncomfortable. So, what is the reason for hiccups during pregnancy? Let me analyze it below.

What is the reason for hiccups during pregnancy?

1. Eating too much food at once, or suddenly changing the eating habits and amount, can easily cause gastrointestinal changes and cause bloating and hiccups.

2. In the early stages of pregnancy, due to changes in hormones in the body, the stomach's ability to excrete acid is weak, the gastric juice is relatively high, the intestinal motility is slow, and there is excessive bloating; in the second half of pregnancy, the uterus gradually expands, and after 5 months of pregnancy it will exceed the position of the belly button. The entire intestine will be pressed to the top and upper and lower sides of the stomach, and the entire space will be filled by the uterus, so it is easy to compress the intestines and colon, and the intestinal motility ability will become worse. These are the reasons why pregnant women hiccup. In the later stages of pregnancy, when the uterus lowers and the fetal head moves into the pelvis, the expectant mother can feel more comfortable.

3. During pregnancy, gastric juice secretion decreases, gastrointestinal motility weakens, and there is varying degrees of digestive and absorption dysfunction, causing hiccups.

4. In the later stages of pregnancy, as the fetus and uterus gradually expand, the diaphragm stretches and hiccups occur.

5. Failure to eliminate other digestive tract diseases. It is recommended to go to the hospital's obstetrics department immediately for a detailed examination and medication.
