Why pregnant stomach gas

Pregnant flatulence is mainly caused by changes in hormone levels, increased compression of the uterus and reduced activity. Details are as follows:

1. Changes in hormone levels

Due to significant changes in hormone levels in women during pregnancy, and hormone changes may affect gastrointestinal function, resulting in flatulence, nausea, vomiting and other discomfort symptoms.

2. Increased compression of the uterus

With the increase of the number of weeks of pregnancy, the uterus gradually increases. When it presses the gastrointestinal tract, it can lead to slow intestinal motility and flatulence.

3. Reduced activity

During pregnancy, due to reduced daily activity of pregnant women, gastrointestinal motility can be slowed down, thus increasing the risk of flatulence.
