Female pregnancy is a relatively special period, because the child grows and develops in the mother's abdomen, and the mother's body will have many corresponding changes. Not only in stature, weight, appearance, but also in various discomforts.
"Heartburn" is a feeling that many pregnant mothers have had, and it will always bother the mother from the beginning of pregnancy to the time of childbirth. Eating badly and sleeping badly, the magic is that when the child is born, it will disappear immediately. Why do you feel this way?
Linlin was about 4 months pregnant, and she didn't know it when she first got pregnant, until her menstruation was delayed for more than 10 days before she attracted attention.
Fortunately, Linlin did not have much of a first-trimester reaction, and occasionally had morning sickness, which was already very comfortable compared to other people's pregnancies. After 3 months, I thought that I had ushered in a more comfortable stage, but I did not expect that Linlin began to have a "heartburn" situation.
Eating something to burn the heart, not eating also burning the heart, torturing Linlin every day has no appetite at all, eating as if to complete the task.
When I called my mother, I said my reaction, my mother said that this is the normal situation of pregnancy, and I also had a heartburn when I was pregnant, maybe the child wants to grow hair, and it will be good after this stage.
Linlin did not care after listening to her mother's words, when she went to the pregnancy test, Linlin casually raised a question about her heartburn, and the doctor immediately seriously inquired about the relevant performance.
This feeling is like there is a fire in the stomach burning, hot and hot is uncomfortable, so everyone calls it "heartburn", in fact, it is used to digest the stomach acid of food because it is regurgitated into the esophagus, and the esophagus is eroded.
It will cause people to have no appetite, chest tightness and discomfort, and severe bleeding may also occur. If it is not paid attention to, not only can the expectant mother not eat, but also the fetus cannot be supplied with nutrients, which affects the normal development of the fetus.
The elderly often say that the mother feels that the heartburn is that the child is growing hair, or used to guess the child's gender, but this statement is not correct. The mother's heartburn symptoms have nothing to do with the child's long hair. The causes of heartburn are the following 3 points.
1) Inadvertently changing eating habits that make the mother-to-be's stomach uncomfortable
The discomfort of the body during pregnancy will make the pregnant mother have a bad appetite, and she always likes to eat some acidic or spicy foods to "appetize". Eating this kind of food for a long time will cause a burning sensation in the stomach, which is what everyone calls a heartburn feeling.
2) Because the fetal treasure grows up, it puts pressure on the abdomen and stomach of the expectant mother
As the fetus grows, the uterus grows larger and squeezes upwards into the stomach, and the pressure on the abdomen from the uterus increases the flow.
Stomach acid stimulates the mucous membrane of the stomach to appear a feeling of fire burning. When the pregnant mother coughs, sneezes and other actions, because the force of the abdomen will increase the pressure on the abdomen, it will also aggravate the burning sensation.
3) Affected by hormones, many expectant mothers will encounter this situation
After pregnancy, the hormones in the pregnant mother's body are too high, which will inhibit the function of the gastrointestinal tract, make the esophageal peristalsis slower, and the food in the stomach cannot be removed quickly, which will make the reflux of the esophagus more serious.
First of all, don't eat too much when eating, increase the pressure on the digestion of the stomach.
You can eat in the form of eating less, more meals, chewing and swallowing slowly to relieve digestive pressure. Try to avoid eating 2 hours before bedtime.
There are also requirements for the types of food eaten, carbonated drinks, acidic foods such as oranges, tomatoes, vinegar, etc. are to eat as little as possible or not to eat, fried spicy irritating food will also be difficult to digest, causing stomach discomfort.
Second, adjust the sleeping position appropriately
When the expectant mother sleeps with the help of a pregnant woman pillow or cushion to raise the upper body, the body and the bed maintain an angle of 10 degrees to 15 degrees, which can alleviate the reflux situation, and there is no need to put the entire upper body too high, as long as it is above the stomach.
Finally, there is attention to clothing
Wearing loose clothes not only makes the pregnant woman's stomach comfortable, but also relieves the reflux situation. Wearing clothing that is too tight and too small can increase pressure on the abdomen and stomach and exacerbate reflux.
Sugar Mother's heart words:
After pregnancy, the body will have some discomfort, don't add to the annoyance of guessing. If the above methods do not relieve heartburn, seek medical help in time.
