Patient's question:
I am 31 weeks pregnant now and often feel bloated, but it doesn't hurt. Is it serious? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello! Pregnant women may experience slowed intestinal peristalsis, abdominal bloating, and constipation due to the growth of the fetus and physiological changes. It is recommended to engage in appropriate activities during pregnancy to promote blood circulation, enhance muscle tone, and reduce symptoms such as bloating caused by slow gastrointestinal peristalsis. In the second and third trimesters, it is advisable to sleep in a left lateral position. Medication is generally not required.
