What causes stomach pain in late pregnancy?

Many people have experienced the symptoms of stomach pain, because the stomach is very fragile and sensitive to physical and external stimuli. Because the stomach is in a state of no food digestion for a long time, it is easy for the gastric mucosa to be corroded to a certain extent. Therefore, stomach pain occurs. The stomach pain in pregnant women is more serious in comparison. Because of the special situation of pregnant women, the pain lasts longer. So, what is the cause of stomach pain in pregnant women in the late stage?

In the late stages of pregnancy, the growing uterus will also press on the stomach. In addition, hormones relax the muscles that separate the esophagus and stomach, making it easier for stomach acid to surge up and cause a burning sensation in the pregnant woman's stomach.

Warm reminder: Persistent stomach pain in the late pregnancy, accompanied by vomiting, may stimulate the uterus, cause uterine contractions, and lead to premature birth. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment in time.

Pregnant women should pay attention to their diet. Breakfast is very important. They can drink porridge and eat some pasta or eggs. If they feel hungry between meals, they should replenish their food immediately. Do not wait until their stomach hurts before eating. In addition, eating soda crackers can relieve stomach pain in pregnant women. In short, if pregnant women have stomach pain, they should stick to eating small and frequent meals.

If a pregnant woman has stomachache, you can give her more cornmeal porridge. If her digestion is still good, you can add some millet porridge or yam porridge (rice and yam in half, cut the yam into smaller pieces, and cook it for a longer time, at least 15 minutes longer than the usual boiling time). Try not to eat pure rice porridge. Do not add any additional ingredients to the porridge at will, but you can add some dates appropriately.

The above is an explanation of why stomach pain occurs in late pregnancy. Pregnant women must pay attention to the health and rationality of their diet in their lives. They should not supplement some nutrition at will for the sake of their fetus, as this will have the opposite effect. Healthy eating and living habits can keep pregnant women away from stomach problems during pregnancy and give birth to healthy babies.
