Is it pregnancy if you keep farting?

Every pregnant woman’s pregnancy reaction in the early stages of pregnancy is different. Some pregnant women may even feel uncomfortable throughout the pregnancy due to physical reasons. But the most obvious is that during the early stages of pregnancy, progesterone levels will rise rapidly, and many organs in the body will be affected. Even the pregnant woman’s taste will change. So, does constant farting mean you are pregnant?

Generally, pregnant women have many reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, such as vomiting, nausea, back pain, etc. Some will also fart frequently, which is also normal. As the uterus continues to expand, it presses on the intestines, making it difficult for the intestines to move. Here I will explain to you the health knowledge about farting in the early stages of pregnancy.

1. Why do I always fart when I am pregnant?

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the fetus continues to grow, the uterus continues to expand, pressing on the intestines, making it difficult for the intestines to move, which will cause bloating. After bloating, the body needs to expel gas, which is commonly known as "farting". In addition, in the early stages of pregnancy, the side effects of progesterone in the pregnant mother's body can also cause bloating. These are unavoidable and normal physiological phenomena that every pregnant mother will experience. You can only pay more attention to your eating habits and try to reduce the number of times you pass gas.

2. How to relieve farting in early pregnancy

1. Eat small and frequent meals: To avoid bloating, pregnant mothers can eat 5 to 6 meals a day. Eating less undigested food reduces the workload on the stomach. Eat less potatoes. Eating too many potatoes will not only cause bloating but also stomach pain. Eat more fruits and vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetables are easy to digest. Foods such as beans, pasta, and starch are easy to produce gas and can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Eat less.

2. Drink more boiled water: There must be enough water in the large intestine to promote bowel movements and relieve bloating. Pregnant mothers should drink more warm water, not cold water, and avoid carbonated and stimulating drinks.

3. Massage more: If necessary, you can gently massage your stomach to make the intestines move, promote defecation and exhaust, and relieve bloating. But pregnant mothers should be careful not to rub the uterus accidentally, as external friction may cause uterine contraction and even bleeding in severe cases.

4. Walk more: Walk outdoors more when you have time, and reduce the time you sit and sleep during the day. It can increase intestinal motility and promote defecation and gas discharge. Go out when the weather is nice, it's easy to fall on rainy days.

The above is the health knowledge about farting in early pregnancy. This is unavoidable because the uterus will press on the intestines as it grows larger. However, you can take some measures to relieve it, such as eating small meals, drinking more water, and exercising more. Don't eat foods that are easy to produce gas, such as potatoes and pasta.
