Early pregnancy bloating may be caused by hormone rise, excessive intake of gas-producing foods and indigestion.
1. Hormone rise
Early pregnancy, women's progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin levels will rise, stimulating the stomach will lead to slow intestinal motility, resulting in gastrointestinal gas can not be discharged normally, causing bloating phenomenon.
2. Excessive intake of gas-producing foods
If pregnant women eat gas-producing foods, there will also be bloating symptoms, such as soybeans, hawthorn, white radish, etc.
3. Indigestion
pregnant women exercise less, the body metabolism slows down, if overeating will lead to indigestion, thus causing bloating symptoms.
