Bloating During Pregnancy and it's solutions
Solutions for bloating during pregnancy
- Know what foods trigger you.
- Don't rush through your food. If you eat quickly, you are likely to swallow a lot of air with each bite, which can settle in your stomach, create gas bubbles and cause bloating.
- Avoid sweetened, fizzy drinks and fried, fatty foods.
- Drink enough water.
- Eat more fibre. Increasing fibre can increase the feeling of gas. However, over time, a fibre-rich diet can reduce constipation, which can be one of the main causes of gas pain.
- Exercise helps to stimulate digestion.
- Swollen hands, ankles and feet Excess blood and fluid in the body can cause swelling in the extremities. Watch out for wedding rings.
Solutions for swollen hands and feet during pregnancy
- Limit your sodium intake You can reduce swelling in pregnancy by limiting your sodium (or salt) intake. Salt causes the body to retain excess water. Consult your doctor as some pregnant women need to increase their sodium levels.
- Limit caffeine intake Caffeine is a diuretic, which makes you urinate more, making your body think it needs to retain fluids.
- Increase your potassium intake Potassium deficiency can also worsen swelling because potassium helps your body balance the amount of fluid retention.
- Staying hydrated Drinking more water helps. If the body thinks it is dehydrated, it retains even more fluid to compensate.
- Keep calm Avoid vigorous exercise outside on hot days. Exercising indoors can help maintain your temperature and reduce swelling.
- Walk. I loved walking when I was pregnant and for good reason. Walking several times a day can help improve circulation, reducing swelling.
- Wear comfortable shoes Wearing comfortable shoes is essential to reduce swelling in the feet and prevent hip and back problems that can occur when the centre of gravity shifts and weight increases.
- Massage can help Massage helps to circulate fluids that tend to build up in the legs, reducing swelling.
- Lie on your left side Sleeping on your left side as often as possible can improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the legs. Be sure to buy a pillow recommended for pregnant women.
