Belly distension in early pregnancy

Many pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, because they have not been able to adapt to the various stages of pregnancy in time, many pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, they will experience various uncomfortable symptoms. Many expectant mothers are also very curious about the gender of the baby in their belly. So, does bloating in early pregnancy mean that you may be pregnant with a boy?

There is no scientific evidence that having a bloated belly in early pregnancy indicates you are pregnant with a boy. Belly bloating in early pregnancy may be due to the growth of the uterus, which is not life-threatening.

Women often experience symptoms such as sourness, nausea, and upper abdominal discomfort because the enlarged uterus causes pressure on the stomach. In addition, during pregnancy, gastrointestinal motility weakens, the gastric muscle support is low, especially the pyloric sphincter relaxation, which causes gastric contents to flow back into the esophagus, irritating the esophageal mucosa and causing a burning sensation in the stomach area.

It may also be due to uterine enlargement and pelvic hematoma, which may cause the cruciate ligaments beside the uterus to be affected by the enlarged uterus, resulting in a dull pain in the lower abdomen, especially near the inner thighs on both sides, that is, around the groin. Abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy is generally not severe and does not affect the normal development of pregnancy. If there is a history of cervicitis and chronic appendicitis, the irritation of the pelvic hematoma to the inflamed area may also cause such discomfort.
