The gestation period involves a series of physiological changes in women. Not only do the shapes of your body change, but also the functioning of your organs.
For this reason, it is very important to observe the changes that are taking place, without being scared, and to discuss it with the doctor. Each stage of pregnancy is a change or a discomfort that occurs. Abdominal bloating or bloating is one of them.
Abdominal distension or swelling is a pregnancy discomfort that can occur after 3 months, when the size of the uterus modifies the abdominal cavity, as it compresses the intestines towards the diaphragm, causing slower digestion. The pressure of the uterus on the stomach can make a woman feel more bloated than usual after a meal.
The main symptom of an abdominal distention is the presence of a swollen and painful belly. It is usually caused by intestinal flatulence due to excessive consumption of high-fiber foods such as raw fruits and vegetables, as well as legumes.
Bloating can also be caused by:
1- Irritable bowel syndrome
2- Swallowing of air due to a state of tension, natural hormonal manifestations or overeating and fast
3- Accumulation of liquids in the abdomen
4- Gas in the intestine or constipation
5- Partial intestinal occlusion
6- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
7- Uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts
8- Weight gain
9- lactose intolerance
Considering that some women have a propensity to swell during pregnancy, the best in these cases is prevention and finding a way to relieve symptoms.
