怎样处理孕期出现的消化不良、烧心及腹胀等不适 你已经为晨吐做好了准备，但是却还要为孕期即将出现的新一轮的胃部问题做准备-----比如消化不良、烧心及胃部饱胀等。 什么时候会出现这些症状？ 通常情况下，你会在怀孕的第一个、第二个阶段感觉到这些胃部不适的症状，但是这些不适会在怀孕的第三个阶段达到顶峰，让你感觉特别的不舒服。 为什么怀孕时会出现这些症状？ 这还是要怪孕激素的作用。 怀孕期间孕酮素的水平不断升高，会导致肌肉在你的身体内松懈，当然也包括你的消化系统。所谓的消化系统问题就是围绕你的食道底部的阀门也松弛了，这就使得食物和消化酸返回到你的食管中从而引起烧心和不适。另外，推动食物进入消化系统的肌肉也会松弛，这使得消化减慢，从而出现胀气、腹部饱胀和消化不良等问题。 在孕期会出现哪些常见的副作用？ 在怀孕期间，你可能会遭遇一些令人不快的副作用。烧心是指包括你胸骨后面的灼伤感，或者任何胃酸或者胃部不适等感觉。你可能会感觉到恶心或者偶尔会有呕吐或者“湿嗝”等症状。你会有腹胀等的不适，从而导致粗鲁但不可避免的打嗝或者排出气体。 哪些行为会使这些消化问题更严重？ 随着怀孕月份的增大，体积不断增大的子宫和宝宝会压迫到你的胃部，从而给你带来更多的不适。这时候每吃一顿大餐都可能会让你感觉更糟。有些食物是消化不良和烧心的触发器，比如巧克力、咖啡、咖啡因、油腻的食物、洋葱及大蒜等。 怎样应对这些不适？ 少食多餐。不要每天都吃三次大餐，要试着每天吃几餐。考虑慢慢变成一个习惯性的进食者而非真正的用餐者。 每次 吃饭 后要保持上身直立，即使吃完东西会让你觉得昏昏欲睡，也不要躺下。因为躺下会使得那些消化酸更容易反流到你的食道里。即使在餐后一个小时或者更晚你都可能会遇到这些问题，所以用枕头将自己的身体垫高会避免消化的问题。 用餐时不要喝水或者饮料，要在两餐之间喝。如果饮料和食物一同进食，所有的液体都将使你更容易出现消化问题。 在吃完饭后不要动作不要太大，特别是要避免弯腰。在吃完饭后至少二十分钟内不允许做这种动作。保持体重增长在健康的范围内。你现在正为两个人吃东西，但是不意味着你就要吃两倍多。过多的体重意味着隆起腹部承受更多的压力，以及会导致更严重的烧心和其它不适症状。 如果你的体重增加过快，不要忘记穿一些得体的衣服。穿的过于紧绷或者使活动受限制的衣服，特别是腹部，都会增加这种不舒适的症状。 睡觉时将头部垫高，或者调整你的床，让你的脚比头低。同样在睡前几个小时候不宜进食。 如果以上这些建议并没有缓解你的胃部不适，那么就和你的医生去谈谈看是不是可以用抗酸剂。通常会有一些安全的药物，包括非处方药，会帮助你减轻这些不适。 如果你感觉特别难受，而且出现如 大便 发黑，吐血等症状或者尽管用了药还依然有持续的烧心感觉，那么你就应该去咨询你的健康护理人员了。 一个关于家中急救的建议，就是可以试试喝一杯温热的加了蜂蜜的牛奶。奶酪同样也是缓解孕期胃部疾病的一种食物，而且具有很高的营养价值。 地址：http://www.thebabycorner.com/page/2988/ 作者： Katlyn Joy 正文:How to Deal with Indigestion, Heartburn & Gas in Pregnancy You were ready for morning sickness, but be prepared for the next wave of tummy troubles in pregnancy -indigestion, heartburn and gas. When to Expect These Symptoms Typically, you'll first experience these stomach ailments during your first and second trimesters, but they will reach their zenith in the last trimester when you are already most uncomfortable. Why You Get These Symptoms in Pregnancy Blame it on the hormones, again. Progesterone levels rise during pregnancy which causes the muscles in your body to relax including the ones in your digestive system. One problem with this is that the valve encircling the bottom of your esophagus also relaxes, and it will allow the food and digestive acids to back up into your esophagus causing burning and discomfort. Additionally the muscles that push food along the digestive system relax, which slows digestion and leads to bloating, gassiness, and indigestion. What are the Common Digestive Side Effects During Pregnancy During pregnancy you can expect some not-so-pleasant side effects. Heartburn includes the burning sensation behind your breastbone, or any sour taste or an upset stomach. You may feel nauseated or even have small episodes of vomiting or "wet burps." You can have bloating that leads to rude but unavoidable belches or passing of gas. What Makes Digestive Problems Worse As your pregnancy progresses, the size of the growing uterus and baby will press on your stomach creating even more discomfort. Due to the shrinking real estate eating large meals will make things even worse. Certain foods are triggers for indigestion and heart burn such as chocolate, coffee, caffeine, greasy foods, onions and garlic. What You Can Do To Cope Eat smaller and more frequent meals. Don't go for three squares a day, instead go with several. Consider becoming more of a habitual snacker rather than a true meal-eater. Remain upright after meals even if eating makes you drowsy. Lying down will just help those digestive acids flow more easily up your esophagus. Even a hour or so later you may still have issues, so prop yourself up on pillows to avoid indigestion. Don't drink that glass of water or juice with your meal, instead drink between meals. All that fluid will make you more prone to digestive woes if you have beverages with food. Don't get too active right after eating, particularly avoid bending down from the waist. Give yourself at least twenty minutes after a meal before such activities. Keep your weight in a healthy range. You are eating for two people but that doesn't mean eating twice as much, sorry. Extra weight means extra pressure on that bulging belly and that means heartburn and more. If you have gained more weight, don't forget to get yourself some clothes that fit. Wearing too tight or restrictive clothing especially around the abdomen will increase these uncomfortable symptoms. Keep your head raised while going to sleep, or adjust your bed so your feet are lower than your head. Also wait a few hours after your last meal before retiring for the night. Should these tips fail to keep tummy troubles at bay, then speak to your physician about antacids. Often there are some safe medications including over the counter drugs that can help with your discomfort. If it becomes more than discomfort and includes symptoms such as black tarry stools, spitting up blood, or heartburn that is persistent despite medication or heartburn that awakens you need to consult with your health care provider. One recommended home remedy to try is a glass of warm milk with honey. Yogurt can also be a soothing food for stomach ailments during pregnancy and has a nutritional boost to it as well.
