Sharing methods for pregnant women to relieve stomach pain
As the belly of pregnant women grows, many expectant mothers will face various degrees of stomach pain. Stomach pain has a great impact on the physical and mental health of pregnant women. Therefore, it is necessary to take timely measures to relieve stomach pain. In this article, I will share some of the stomach pain relief methods I have accumulated during pregnancy, hoping to be helpful to expectant mothers.
Dietary conditioning
Many stomach pain problems are related to diet. During pregnancy, expectant mothers need to pay attention to the regularity and health of their diet, especially a light diet and avoid eating greasy and spicy foods. The following is my experience in dietary management during pregnancy:
First, pay attention to dietary regularity. Pregnant women should maintain a eating habit of three meals a day plus an appropriate amount of two fruits, and avoid fasting and overeating. In addition, late-night snacks or heavy meals should be avoided as much as possible.
Second, drink more water. Constipation is prone to occur during pregnancy, so we can drink more water and eat more high-fiber vegetables and fruits to keep the intestines smooth. But be aware that fasting or drinking a lot of water can cause your stomach to swell and cause stomach pain.
Third, avoid spicy and irritating foods. Spicy and greasy foods can cause stomachaches and stomach problems and should be avoided and limited as much as possible.
Massage relief
Massage is one of the most common and effective ways to relieve stomach pain. Massage can promote gastrointestinal motility, improve gastrointestinal function, and stimulate and relax the body\’s nerves. When you have a stomachache, expectant mothers can try the following massage techniques:
First, apply a warm towel on your belly and gently massage your belly. This will help relax the muscles and relieve stomach pain. Second, gently rub the area around the navel in a clockwise direction. Knead for 2-3 minutes each time and can be repeated 3-4 times. Third, gently press the entire lower abdominal muscle group with your fingers, and slowly lift and relax your belly to relieve stomach pain.
Hot compress for relief
When you have a stomachache, hot compress is also a good way to relieve pain. Hot compresses can help families reduce muscle pain, promote blood circulation, and relieve pain. When using hot compresses to relieve stomach pain, you need to pay attention to the following points:
First, you need to wrap the hot water bottle or hot compress with cotton cloth to avoid burning the skin. Second, the temperature of the hot pack should be preferably between 37-38°C to prevent skin problems such as ecchymosis caused by excessive temperature. Third, you should not apply hot compresses for more than 20 minutes at a time to avoid rebound stomach pain caused by excessive heat.
Drug relief
Finally, if the stomach pain is unbearable, pregnant women can also take medication to relieve it. However, pregnant women need to choose drugs without side effects, avoid using too many drugs, and avoid using drugs that have not been used before. One drug recommended by your doctor that you can use is ibuprofen, an over-the-counter medicine that can effectively relieve stomach pain.
Summary
Avoiding stomachache during pregnancy cannot be solved by a single measure, and physical health must be optimized and managed in an all-round way. The above four methods only help expectant mothers relieve pain when they have stomach pain. If theseIf the measures fail to solve the problem, or if other symptoms appear that worry you, please consult your doctor in time. (601 words in total)
