Belching during pregnancy

An eructation during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon that accompanies the process of bearing a child. An eructation is a sudden and sudden release of gases from the mouth.

Sometimes the eructation is accompanied by the presence of unpleasant odors from the mouth or manifests itself in the form of return of gases from the stomach into the esophagus with a sour taste. An eructation can appear both at home and in a crowded place, which worsens not only the state of health of a pregnant woman, but also leads her psychological state to discomfort. Future moms begin to worry because they do not look ugly to other people, and they have anxiety because of deterioration of their own health.

Of course, the eructation symptoms are not pleasant for a future mother, but you need to get calm and patience to normally transfer all the changes that occur to a pregnant woman. Do not worry about the presence of burps, because the symptoms appear are not signs of the disease of the gastrointestinal tract. In the body of a pregnant woman there is some disruption of the functioning of the digestive system, which has a reversible process. After childbirth, as a rule, all the symptoms that worry a pregnant woman disappear without a trace. It must also be noted that eructations are by no means dangerous for the health of a woman and her baby.

Of course, in the period of bearing a baby, if a woman is concerned about uncomfortable manifestations in the form of an eructation, certain measures must be taken to ease the condition of the future mother. The methods that will help relieve eructations during pregnancy will be described below in the relevant sections.

Causes of belching during pregnancy

The causes of eructation in pregnancy, according to experts, are as follows:

• Changes in the hormonal background during pregnancy, when a large number of hormones begin to be released, while others practically cease to be produced. For example, in the body of pregnant women produces a lot of progesterone, which has some effect on the digestive process. Due to the increased production of progesterone in the digestive tract, digestion begins to slow down, and gases are formed that cause eructation.
• Also, hormonal changes cause a decrease in muscle tone throughout the body, as well as the valves of the digestive tract. Due to the fact that the valve between the stomach and esophagus is loosely closed, it can open for various reasons and allow the contents of the stomach to enter the esophagus. As a result of such actions symptoms of eructation arise.
• Hormonal changes also affect some temporary disorders in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. It is responsible for regulating the activity of many body systems, including the digestive tract.
• In the third trimester of pregnancy, the eructation is felt stronger, since at times the enlarged uterus exerts constant pressure on the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. The stomach of the future mother gradually changes its position. For this reason, in the stomach of a pregnant woman, there is an increase in the accumulation of gases, compared with previous periods of pregnancy. Therefore, the appearance of a strong and constant eructation is a frequent accompaniment of the time before delivery.
• Disturbances in eating can also contribute to eructation. If you talk during the meal, the air can get into the digestive tract, and then go out, provoking a belch.
• Poor chewing food, rapid absorption of food is also the cause of eructation. Food should be chewed and thoroughly chewed, because it is digested and absorbed already in the mouth. To this end, the food is processed by saliva in the mouth and is well ground, which facilitates the digestive processes in the stomach and intestines. But if the food gets into the stomach in large pieces, without the necessary pre-treatment, then such a violation of the physiology of nutrition, usually, causes a belch. Food that is not fully digested, begins to emit gases during processing and stretch the walls of the stomach.
• Various unsuitable poses during eating can also cause belching. For example, in the lying position, a burp appears especially often.
• It happens that finding a pregnant woman in a certain position provokes the eruption. For example, the habit of lying down and resting a little after eating in a horizontal position can cause belching, as well as flips from side to side in the lying position.
• It happens that the slopes of a pregnant woman due to certain household needs can lead to burping. For example, a future mother needs to wear pantyhose, or fasten shoes, or take any objects located below. Such involuntary physical exercises can lead to uncomfortable symptoms.
• To increased gas production in the intestines, and hence, to the eruption of the eruption is related to sorbitol. This substance is a sweetener, which is used in the production of a large number of sweets. Sweets also contain many different harmful additives, which in pregnant women can cause not only a belching, but also heartburn, bloating, flatulence and so on.
• The use of sweet carbonated drinks, such as various lemonades, coca-cola, pepsi-cola, can also cause eructations. These drinks not only provoke the eruption, but also poison the body of a pregnant woman with various harmful chemicals.
• The process of increased gas formation in the digestive tract and useful foods such as cabbage, asparagus, legumes (peas, beans, lentils, beans, etc.), bananas and grapes.
• The use of acidic berries and sour food, fatty and spicy dishes, fried, smoked and marinated food leads to the eruption.
• An eructation can occur due to a large amount of starchy foods, namely, potatoes, pasta, bakery products (especially black bread), oatmeal.
• Belching is also provoked by the immoderate use by a pregnant woman of healthy fruits and vegetables containing sugars and fructose in large quantities. These products include artichokes, pears and onions.
• Exacerbations of chronic diseases during pregnancy also cause eructations. Especially, it concerns problems with the digestive system - diseases of the stomach, intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas. It happens that before the illness chronic diseases developed asymptomatically, but with the appearance of changes in the female body, the signs of illnesses became sharply manifested. They can cause the appearance of various functional disorders in the body, including provoking the eruption.
• The existing congenital anomalies of the structure of the gastrointestinal tract are congenital in nature, namely, the narrowed lumen of the stomach, the bend of the stomach and so on.

Belching, as a sign of pregnancy

Each person has his own, only his inherent characteristics. For example, reactions to the same stimuli, the same events in different people manifest themselves in different ways. In the same way, every woman's pregnancy passes only according to her peculiar script.

Belching, as a sign of pregnancy, can appear in the early stages of pregnancy - in the first trimester, and in the middle of the term - in the second trimester, and at the very end of pregnancy - in the third trimester. It is impossible to predict how a pregnancy will take place, especially the first one, for a particular woman.

In some cases, the eructation appears as the only sign of pregnancy. The future mother does not even suspect that she is waiting for the addition in the family, but she has some kind of reaction to certain dishes and foods. Eating can arise as a result of the use of exotic and spicy dishes, appear, as a result, the absorption of fatty foods or smoked products, bakery products and sweets. Even useful vegetables and fruits, especially those that were previously loved, can cause belching.

Therefore, it can be said with certainty that eructation appears as a consequence of a certain content of the stomach, which falls back into the esophagus. As a result, irritation of the mucosa of the esophagus occurs, which contributes to the release of gases, manifested as an eructation. An eructation is a gas that suddenly and sharply emerges from the mouth. The process of gassing, provoking eructation, can occur not only in the esophagus, but also in the stomach, when its mucous membrane is irritated. As a result, the accumulated gases penetrate into the esophagus, and then with unpleasant sensations stand out from the mouth.

Usually, burping appears along with other signs of pregnancy, and, especially, along with symptoms of changes in the functioning of the digestive system. The future mother, along with the eructation, begins to experience digestive disorders in the form of increased gas production and belching, swelling of the stomach and a feeling of overflow of the gastrointestinal tract, constipation, heartburn and nausea. A pregnant woman begins to feel uncomfortable in crowded places, as she often wants to release gases or regurgitate air. It happens that unexpectedly in the abdomen begins to grumble tingle and move around, which brings not only discomfort, but also painful sensations.

In these moments, you should not hold back, but release such unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy out. Because with containment of the formed gases, severe pain in the gastrointestinal tract can occur. Of course, it is necessary to do this, secluded, so as not to be ashamed of their own actions, and not to embarrass other people.

Symptoms of belching during pregnancy

Symptoms of eructation in pregnancy are as follows:

• Sharp release of air (gases) from the mouth, which is accompanied by the appearance of sound.
• Sharp contraction of the diaphragm when the air is released from the mouth.
• Sometimes the release of gases is accompanied by the appearance of an unpleasant odor from the oral cavity, for example, the smell of rotten eggs.
• It happens that the eructation is accompanied by the appearance of a sour taste in the mouth.

Belching in early pregnancy

It happens that eructation appears in the early stages of pregnancy, for example, in the first trimester. Such "innovations" arise under the influence of changes in the hormonal balance in the body of a pregnant woman. In the early stages, along with eructations, there is flatulence and a feeling of bursting, swelling in the abdomen.

During pregnancy, the amount of progesterone produced by the body increases, which helps the body to control the course of pregnancy. In the body of a future mother, the amount of progesterone is formed ten times more than before pregnancy. This is facilitated by the initial production of the hormone by the yellow body of the fetus, and the development of the child by the placenta.

Progesterone together with estrogen affect the external and internal changes in the body of a woman. They are responsible for the calm condition of the pregnant woman, ensure the appearance of smooth and shiny hair, and soften and make the tissues and muscles of the expectant mother smoother. Changes in tissues and muscles affect the deterioration of digestion of a pregnant woman, which is manifested in slowing down the time of digestion of foods and assimilation of nutrients.

Such a measure is necessary due to the fact that the maternal body requires a high content of building material to maintain an optimal state of health and also help to form and develop a baby. Therefore, the food is digested longer, so that all substances could get from it into the body of the future mother.

Slowing down digestion leads to constipation and eructation, which further contributes to alleviating the muscles of the digestive tract. For example, the softening of the sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach leads to the return of gases into the esophagus, which causes symptoms of eructation. And increased gas formation in the gastrointestinal tract in the early stages of pregnancy contributes to an increase in the amount of time for digestion of food, which occurs against a background of increased fermentation.

Egg belching in pregnancy

Eating is the gases that are produced in the stomach and esophagus during digestive disorders. But, it happens that during pregnancy, belching is observed with air.

This kind of eructation happens when you are having a fascinating or emotional conversation during a meal. Together with food in the digestive tract gets a lot of air. Moreover, during the conversation, the future mother does not care about the quality of chewing dishes and swallows food in large pieces.

After the end of such feasts in a pregnant woman may begin to manifest eructations in the form of a reverse air outlet, which she swallowed, leading a conversation during a meal. The air starts to come out suddenly and sharply, in large portions, in which the diaphragm is greatly reduced and the hiccup may subsequently appear.

In this case it is necessary to wait until all the air and the eructation has stopped. If the symptoms of belching with air are accompanied by the appearance of hiccups, it is necessary to drink a full glass of water.

Eating "rotten eggs" during pregnancy

In some cases, in pregnant women, burping is accompanied by the release of unpleasant odors. For example, belching "rotten eggs" during pregnancy is a common occurrence.

The most important reason for the appearance of this type of eructation is a disturbance in the diet of a pregnant woman. First of all, overeating contributes to the appearance of unpleasant symptoms.

Also, the existing toxicosis during pregnancy can cause a lot of unpleasant symptoms, including belching "rotten eggs."

Sometimes, and more worrying reasons can cause an eructation of "rotten eggs." For example, the emergence of inflammatory processes in the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, the presence of gastric or duodenal ulcers, a disorder in the functioning of the liver. Such manifestations require a visit to the gastroenterologist.

To prevent the symptoms of burping "rotten eggs", in the absence of diseases of the digestive tract, you need to resort to the following measures:

• Never overeat. Food should be taken in small quantities, leaving the feeling that "you could eat a little more." Eat often, every two to three hours.
• If, nevertheless, it was not possible to control the amount of food and symptoms of overeating, then one hour after the end of the meal, you need to drink a glass of still mineral water. Also, it is recommended not to eat for several hours, so that an excessive amount of food can be absorbed in the stomach and intestines.
• Do not eat before going to bed. The latest meal should be done two hours before bedtime.
• During the day, you need to drink enough water, at least one and a half liters per day.
• Do not eat large amounts of protein foods. It is better to diversify the menu of the pregnant woman with porridges, vegetables and fruits in fresh, baked and boiled form.
• The use of tea with melissa or ginger tea promotes the prevention of this type of eructation.
• Decoction of flax, as well as oatmeal fissures enveloping the walls of the stomach and intestines, which reduces the likelihood of eructation, and also has anti-inflammatory effect on the digestive tract.

Heartburn and belching during pregnancy

Heartburn, as well as eructation, is a common disturbance of the functioning of the digestive system during pregnancy.

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the lower part of the chest, which causes painful sensations. In most cases, heartburn occurs in the second trimester of pregnancy, approximately, about the twentieth - twenty-second week of pregnancy. And, some future mothers face similar symptoms for the first time in their lives. It is believed that an overwhelming number of women suffer from heartburn in varying degrees during the period of gestation of the baby.

Heartburn occurs after eating. The cause of its occurrence is the penetration of acidic stomach contents back into the esophagus, as a result of which hydrochloric acid begins to aggressively affect the mucosa of the esophagus, causing burning.

The penetration of the contents of the stomach into the esophagus is promoted by hormonal changes in the body of a pregnant woman. Due to changes in the hormonal balance, the muscles of the expectant mother lose their tone in the same way as the valves of the digestive tract. Sphincters (circular muscles), which are located between the stomach and esophagus, relax, which facilitates the penetration of food and gastric juice back.

Also, the pressure of the ever-increasing uterus on the entire abdominal cavity, including the stomach, contributes to the occurrence of heartburn.

Heartburn during pregnancy is an absolutely safe phenomenon, both for the mother and for the baby's future. After the birth of the child, the symptoms of heartburn disappear completely and do not bother the woman any more.

With heartburn, a special diet will help to relieve the condition of a pregnant woman:

1. It is necessary to get rid of fresh bread and rolls, strong meat, fish and mushroom broths, smoked products and pickles, fried and boiled eggs, spicy seasonings, dishes and snacks, pickled vegetables and mushrooms, sour fruits and berries, as well as tomatoes in any form. Drinks that are prohibited are sparkling sweet and mineral water, kvass and black coffee.
2. The best way to exclude products that contribute to the occurrence of heartburn is to monitor your condition after each meal. In this case, you can easily identify the harmful products and exclude them from the diet of a pregnant woman.
3. You need to add to the menu of a pregnant woman foods that help reduce heartburn. The use of dry biscuits, vegetable soups, mashed potatoes, steamed meat, milk, cream, non-acid curd, cheese, manna, buckwheat and oatmeal helps to reduce the appearance of heartburn after eating.
4. During the day, it is recommended to eat a certain amount of walnuts or almonds.
5. During the day, you need to drink a sufficient amount of clean water, at least one and a half liters. To remove the arisen symptoms of heartburn will help a glass of water, drunk after a meal.
6. From drinks help to facilitate the use of weak tea, cocoa with milk and various kissels.

Also following certain rules will help to get rid of or, at least, reduce the manifestations of heartburn:

• Do not eat at night. The last meal should take place two to three hours before bedtime. If, nevertheless, a pregnant woman is tormented by hunger, you can afford to eat a little dry biscuits with tea, drink a glass of yogurt, eat an unbroken apple.
• It is not recommended to take a lying position immediately after the meal ends. It is best to sit and relax in a comfortable chair or on the sofa for half an hour.
• Do not make sudden movements, as well as slopes immediately after eating.
• To sleep it is necessary with use of a high pillow or several pillows. As a result, the position in a dream will resemble a semi-sitting, which will prevent the release of stomach contents into the esophagus.
• I want to believe that future mothers have already said goodbye to such a bad habit as smoking. If this did not happen, then it should be noted that the use of cigarettes is one of the most common causes of heartburn.

The use of soda at the appearance of heartburn is not helpful, although a solution of soda helps at the time to get rid of burning and pain. The effect of using a solution of soda is short-lived, and with the constant use of this product, water-salt balance in the body of a pregnant woman is often violated.

If the transition to a special diet and the use of high pillows during sleep could not be saved from heartburn, you should seek medical advice from a gastroenterologist.

Frequent belching during pregnancy

Frequent belching during pregnancy occurs, usually in the last months of pregnancy. At this time, the greatly increasing uterus exerts a strong pressure on the abdominal organs, which increases the gas formation in the intestine and stomach. A large number of gases that accumulate in the stomach, through a loosely closed sphincter between the esophagus and stomach, penetrates into the esophagus and escapes outward in the form of an eructation.

Exacerbation of chronic diseases of the digestive system, which occurs during pregnancy for many reasons, also contributes to the frequent occurrence of eructations.

Multiple manifestation of eructation also arises from the constant use of products that cause flatulence. The increased content of starches and sugars in food also leads to frequent repetition of eructation symptoms.

Violation of the recommended diet for a pregnant woman is considered the next reason for frequent eructations. Abuse of sour food, pickles and marinades, smoked products and fatty foods, as well as fried foods, leads to a disruption of digestive functions, which is manifested, in particular, in the form of gases from the oral cavity.

The constant overeating of a pregnant woman and the inability to control the amount of food while eating food is a common cause of frequent eructations.

They lead to multiple manifestations of uncomfortable sensations and constant physical activity, which a pregnant woman can not avoid due to certain reasons. Perhaps the presence of younger children in the family, as well as the inability to go on maternity leave and the need to work does not allow a woman to rest on time and makes her constantly bend over and move around.

Constant belching during pregnancy

Constant belching during pregnancy appears due to various reasons, which were described earlier in the previous section "Frequent belching during pregnancy".

Sour eructations in pregnancy

It happens that while the baby is waiting for the baby, the mother will have the symptoms of sour eructation, which occurs after eating.

Sour eructation arises from the reverse air entry together with acidic (and sometimes alkaline) stomach contents into the esophagus. Due to the fact that in the stomach there is an unsuitable food, which leads to irritation of its walls, gases are formed and the walls of the stomach are stretched. Then the whole "cocktail" penetrates into the lower part of the esophagus, where irritation of the mucosa of the esophagus occurs with the help of gastric juice - hydrochloric acid, which causes the formation of gases that are released from the mouth.

Sour eructation during pregnancy is a consequence of eating various foods and food, namely:

1. Fatty dishes and products - rich, steep meat and fish broths, as well as the first dishes that were cooked on their basis; fatty meat - pork, lamb, duck, goose; fatty varieties of fish - salmon, trout, pink salmon, salmon, halibut, herring, mackerel, sturgeon, eel, omul, beluga, lamprey, whitefish, sea bass, cod, sardine, saury; sour-milk products with high fat content - sour cream, cottage cheese.
2. Spicy dishes and spices - many dishes of exotic cuisines can cause digestive disorders in a pregnant woman, including belching. It is not necessary to pamper yourself with the delicacies of Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese and other oriental cuisines while waiting for the baby, as they contain in excess of spicy spices, various spices and savory sauces. Future mother is also recommended to abandon the Italian cuisine because of the presence of a large number of sauces with seasonings. A pregnant woman should postpone for a while traditional sauces for our table - mustard, mayonnaise, horseradish, adzhika, as well as various spices - pepper, coriander and so on. If there is a negative reaction to onions and garlic, radish and radish, sorrel and spinach, as well as other sharp vegetables and herbs, they must be removed from the table of the future mother before the end of pregnancy.
3. Fried food cooked at home and purchased ready-made fried foods. The future mother will have to forget about fried potatoes, fried meat, fried fish and fried vegetables, for example, zucchini. Also, do not eat fried eggs in the form of eggs.

Sour eructation lasts for different times. It happens that attacks of acidic eructation disappear within a few minutes, and it happens that unpleasant symptoms last for hours. In some cases, the acidic eructation can occur repeatedly several times a day.

Eating after eating during pregnancy

Usually, belching during pregnancy occurs immediately after eating or for a short time after the end of the meal. Empty belching with ordinary air indicates that the expectant mother just picked up air during the meal. This is possible if you have a conversation and eat at the same time. For example, the invitation to visit friends or relatives "for tea" is connected with the conduct of a pleasant conversation during tea drinking.

Eating after eating can have an unpleasant smell, for example, rotten eggs or be with a taste of acid. These symptoms indicate that in the body of a pregnant woman there are dysfunctions of the digestive system of reversible nature. The appearance of belching after eating causes increased gas formation in the stomach: the gases that form are poured back into the esophagus and mouth of the pregnant woman and come out with a sharp sound.

[7]

Diagnosis of eructations in pregnancy

Diagnosis of belching during pregnancy is necessary only in cases when uncomfortable symptoms cause the pregnant woman great inconvenience. In this case, you need to consult a gastroenterologist who will prescribe the necessary examination.

Usually, in these cases, a procedure of examination, called fibrogastroscopy (FSH), is prescribed. Fibrogastroscopy is a reliable and proven method of examining the esophagus, stomach and intestines for the detection of various diseases of the digestive tract. With the help of this method, it is possible to diagnose the appearance of gastritis, duodenitis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, various erosions, stomach polyps and so on in a pregnant woman.

FSH is performed as follows: through the mouth of a pregnant woman, a flexible small diameter hose with a lighting device at the end is inserted. Before this, in order to ensure the painlessness of the procedure, the woman's throat is treated with a lidocaine spray. Throughout the procedure the patient occupies the position lying on her side on a comfortable couch, in the mouth of the pregnant woman there is a mouthpiece through which the device is inserted. When a fibrogastroscope is inserted into the esophagus, the patient must make a swallowing movement.

The duration of the entire procedure is no more than ten to fifteen minutes. Moreover, FSH does not cause any pain symptoms in the patient. Discomfort from the use of the device is minimal, so fibrogastroscopy can be used to diagnose digestive tract problems even in young children.

Gastroscopy is a completely safe method of investigation, since all parts of the endoscope that penetrate into the patient are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. Therefore, the entry of various kinds of infections into the body of a pregnant woman during the diagnosis is completely excluded.

During the examination with an endoscope, it is possible to take samples of the tissues of the digestive tract for further histological examination, that is, to make a biopsy. As a result of this study, you can establish an accurate diagnosis of the disease, which causes the appearance of uncomfortable symptoms. It should also be clarified that the biopsy procedure is always painless for the patient, due to the fact that in the tissues from which samples are taken, there are no nerve endings.

It is necessary to prepare for FSH. Usually, the diagnosis is carried out in the morning on an empty stomach. The last meal should be made no later than 7 pm the previous day. The day before the gastropod, you need to go on a special diet: to exclude meat and fish dishes, legumes, as well as other poorly digestible food. In the morning on the day of the diagnosis it is forbidden to drink, eat, chew gum and smoke.

Treatment of eructations in pregnancy

The appearance of belching during pregnancy is not a disease, therefore, no special treatment for this symptomatology is required. Moreover, during the gestation period of the baby the expectant mother is strongly advised not to use medicines because they can have a negative effect on the formation of the fetus.

The safest for a pregnant woman and her baby is considered alternative medicine. And, nevertheless, before using them, you need to consult a doctor to exclude any negative effects for the body of a woman and her baby.

When burping occurs, you can resort to the following alternatives, namely:

• Receiving powder rhizomes of aira, which is the most effective remedy for eructation symptoms. Powder is taken one third of a teaspoon three to four times a day. It happens that this remedy allows you to cure not only eructations, but also heartburn, which often accompanies the release of gases from the mouth.
• A good and proven remedy for eructation is an infusion prepared from raspberry leaves, chamomile flowers, mint leaves and blackberries. This drink not only prevents the eruption, but also saturates the body of the future mother with useful substances, and also improves the digestive function.
• It is useful to drink tea with mint or melissa, which is brewed from the calculation of a spoonful of herbs on a glass of boiling water.
• Infusion of a hundred thousandth of an ordinary: ten grams of grass are taken and 200 ml of boiling water is poured. After that the drink is infused for two to three hours, filtered and taken one tablespoon three to four times a day for thirty minutes before eating.
• A good help is the decoction of ordinary heather: 15 grams of grass is poured in half liters of water and subjected to boiling for two to three minutes. The broth is taken half the glass three to four times a day.
• One of the effective means of eructation is the spice of the carnation. If you chew one bud of dried spices, you can improve the state of the digestive tract and eliminate the symptoms of eructation. Pregnant women can use this spice, because it is absolutely safe for expectant mothers.
• With belching, you can use a long-term alternative medicine. You need to take a pinch of soda and dissolve it in a glass of water. After this, you need to drink the resulting solution. But before using soda, it is better to consult a doctor.

Preventing belching at pregnancy

First of all, the prevention of belching during pregnancy is in the properly organized diet of a pregnant woman.

It is necessary to exclude the following foods and drinks from the future mother's diet:

• Sweet carbonated drinks - lemonade, Pepsi-cola, Coca-Cola and so on.
• Alcoholic beverages.
• Kvass.
• Sweets of industrial production.
• Fast food.
• Bakery products from flour of the highest grade - white wheat bread, rolls and other pastries.
• Pasta.
• Smoked products.
• Various pickles and salted food, as well as marinades.
• Sharp products, spices and spices, spicy dishes.
• Fatty foods and meals.
• Fried food.
• Sour berries and other very acidic food.

Also need to reduce the use of the following healthy foods that cause flatulence:

• Legumes.
• Beetroot and other types of cabbage.
• Asparagus.
• Bananas.
• The grapes.

It is not worth completely refusing to eat from the above vegetables and fruits, because they contain a large number of useful substances. They can be eaten every day and in small portions.

Useful types of foods that contain starches in excess also need to be limited in use. This group of products includes:

• Potatoes.
• Oat groats.
• Black bread.

Another group of products contributing to the eructation, is characterized by a high content of sugars and fructose. These include:

• Pears.
• Artichokes.
• Onion.

Therefore, it is necessary to limit the use of these vegetables and fruits, and in some cases, and completely stop them to eat until the end of pregnancy.

In addition to the necessary organization of the diet, the following rules must be adhered to:

• When eating, you should chew and slowly chew each piece of food. It is necessary to perform at least forty chewing movements during the use of one portion of food. During the meal you need to exclude various conversations, it is best to eat in silence. Such conditions will not only save the pregnant woman from eructation, but will also improve digestion in the entire gastrointestinal tract.
• Before eating at least half an hour you should drink one glass of clean water. The procedure for drinking should be done with the help of small sips. Sometimes experts recommend dissolving in water a few drops of mint essence, which helps prevent belching. For a pregnant woman, this drug is absolutely safe, so it can be used regularly.
• At lunch it is recommended to eat a light first dish, which is not cooked on strong broths. It is useful to eat vegetarian vegetable and cereal soups with vegetables. Such soups help to develop in the stomach the necessary amount of secret to digest food, and reduce the process of gas formation.
• Instead of sweets, it is best to use honey, dried fruit, sweet fruit.
• In the nutrition menu of a pregnant woman it is recommended to include foods and dishes that have an alkaline effect. These include cream, sour cream, butter, cottage cheese, soft-boiled eggs and steam omelettes, low-fat meat in boiled form, vegetable unrefined oils. But the use of fatty foods such as sour cream, cream, butter should be limited to one hundred grams per day, so as not to provoke acid rancidity from the increased fat content.
• In some cases, when the eructation begins to seriously disturb the pregnant woman, you need to for a while refuse to eat raw vegetables and fruits. Vegetables should be cooked or stewed, and fruits should be baked before consumption.
• An hour after eating, it is recommended to drink a glass of ginger tea, which has beneficial properties for the digestion of pregnant women. In addition, this drink is absolutely safe, so it can be safely cooked during pregnancy.
• It is not necessary to eat at night, as her digestion in the lying position contributes to the violation of digestive functions and the eruption. The latest time for an evening meal is two hours before bedtime. If, nevertheless, before going to bed very much wanted to eat, it is worth to drink a glass of yogurt for the night or eat an apple.
• A pregnant woman should not overeat, because such abuse in eating causes an eructation. Eat better often and in small portions. In the first trimester of pregnancy, daily meals should be divided four times, in the second trimester - five times, and in the third trimester - six times.
• You should get rid of such a bad habit, like smoking. We will not touch on the negative impact of cigarettes on the fetus, we only mention that cigarette smoke contributes to eructation, as well as heartburn and digestive problems.
• To normalize the digestive system, you must often drink clean water. Water for drinking should be filtered by yourself using filters or purchased purified water. The amount of water drunk per day should be at least one and a half to two liters. Do not drink mineral water or tea instead of regular water - these drinks will not replace drinking water.
• A pregnant woman should not wear tight clothes that sit tightly on the body. As these clothes contribute to the accumulation of gases in the stomach and intestines, which provokes the eruption of burps.
• The future mum should not occupy poses, which cause the appearance of uncomfortable symptoms. It is necessary to avoid slopes forward, and also do not go to rest in a horizontal position immediately after eating. It is best to rest at the end of the meal, sitting in a chair or on a sofa. During the night period it is necessary to stock up with a large number of pillows to put them under the body in such a way as to occupy the position of the floor during sleep.
• Every day you need to take leisurely walks in the fresh air, preferably in a park or a park. Dimensional movements will prevent stagnation of gases in the digestive tract, which will reduce the eructation.

Forecast of eructation in pregnancy

The appearance of burping is not a prerequisite for pregnancy. It happens that future mothers never encounter such a phenomenon. It happens that eructation occurs in women episodically, without delivering severe discomfort, and this after giving birth to young mothers and completely forget.

In some pregnant women, the symptoms of eructation can manifest only in the early stages of pregnancy, and in another category of women - in the late term and prenatal stage.

Sometimes a belching worries the expectant mother during the entire pregnancy, and this is the most severe manifestation of this dysfunction of digestion. In these cases, we can talk about the presence of chronic diseases of the digestive system that existed before pregnancy and caused the eructation in this period.

The symptoms of eructation disappear immediately after childbirth, because the physiological causes that provoked its appearance are also eliminated.

If the woman's belching does not disappear after the birth of the child, it is necessary to appear to specialists, since this fact is a sign of the appearance (or exacerbation) of diseases of the digestive tract.
