What should I do if I have bloated stomach and abnormal bowel movements?

Patient's question:

I have a bloated stomach and dry heaving. The stool was black in the front and yellow in the back. When I went to the hospital, the doctor wouldn't prescribe medication. I am pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women may experience a slowing of intestinal motility and symptoms such as abdominal bloating again due to the growth and development of the fetus and physiological changes. This symptom generally does not require medication. It is recommended to engage in appropriate exercise during pregnancy to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain caused by slow gastrointestinal movement. Pregnant women should adopt a left lateral sleeping position for deep sleep. Drinking more water and avoiding spicy and irritating foods are advisable. Maintaining a habit of regular bowel movements is also recommended. Wishing you good health.
