After a woman is pregnant, the hormones in her body will change, leading to sphincter relaxation. It is common for pregnant women to run up after eating, because the sphincter is located at the junction of esophagus and stomach. Under normal circumstances, it will make what we eat fall down instead of up. After the sphincter relaxes, it is easy to cause the acidic contents in the stomach to flow back from the stomach to the esophagus, throat and mouth, which will stimulate the mucosa and cause stomachache in pregnant women.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, the expanding uterus is easily pressed into the stomach and intestines, which leads to the upward surge of gastric acid and burning sensation in the chest, which makes pregnant women prone to stomach pain.

Is stomach pain during pregnancy a disease?

It is suggested that pregnant women should not be nervous about stomachache at first, and reduce their diet appropriately, especially foods with high sugar content. Generally speaking, malnourished pregnant women are rare in the current social situation. On the contrary, there are more malnourished pregnant women. Many people overeat consciously or unconsciously after pregnancy, which is unfavorable to the development of spleen and stomach and fetus.

I believe that through the above methods, we have taken some measures to deal with the severe stomachache after eight months of pregnancy, such as relaxing the stomach, eating something, giving some warmth and acupoint treatment. All these methods can be tried by expectant mothers. In short, stomach pain is inevitable, but eating less and having more meals in daily life and exercising properly can effectively prevent and relieve stomach pain.
