At 25 weeks pregnant, my abdomen feels sour and slightly bloated. What's going on?

Patient's question:

At 25 weeks, I feel my stomach is a bit sour and bloated! I don't know what's going on, whether it's because the baby has grown or if he's uncomfortable. I previously had the umbilical cord, and yesterday the fetal heart rate was 145, but recently I feel the baby isn't moving as much as before. My stomach also feels uncomfortable.

Doctor's answer:

Your current condition is in the mid-stage of pregnancy. This period is also when the baby grows and develops most rapidly. As the continuously shrinking uterus presses on your abdominal and pelvic areas, it may cause the discomfort symptoms you are experiencing now. This is a common occurrence during pregnancy and has no impact on the baby.
It is recommended that you pay attention to regular and thorough prenatal check-ups, especially monitoring the fetal heart rate using Doppler. As long as the prenatal check-ups show no abnormalities, there is no significant problem. Rest appropriately, avoid excessive exercise, and prevent overworking or straining yourself.
