Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often get lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Please ask, is it normal for the baby to frequently swell large bumps during fetal movement in the second trimester?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms, it is normal, possibly related to the baby's position. The regular prenatal check-up results are normal, so there is no need to worry. You can rest assured, but the baby's gender cannot be determined. In the early stages of pregnancy, the production of progesterone can cause the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract to relax and reduce motility, making it easier for acidic stomach contents to reflux into the lower esophagus. Additionally, prolonged gastric emptying time can lead to prolonged food retention in the intestines, where bacterial action causes decomposition and fermentation, producing large amounts of gas and causing the pregnant woman to feel bloated.
