Flatulence during early pregnancy

The first 3 months of a pregnancy, also called early pregnancy, are often accompanied by various symptoms for the patient. Some patients suffer from flatulence during early pregnancy. This early pregnancy flatulence can have various causes.

Often it is connected with the fact that the new hormone constellation in her body, which prepares her for pregnancy, causes problems with digestion, which in turn can lead to flatulence in early pregnancy. Furthermore, the unaccustomed eating habits during early pregnancy can cause flatulence. A further reason may be that towards the end of the early pregnancy the fetus has already grown somewhat and the intestine responds to the tightness in the abdomen and pelvic area with flatulence.

In general, flatulence in early pregnancy is a little annoying for the patient, but not at all serious and often disappears after a short time. It is especially important that the patient in early pregnancy consciously pays attention to what she ingests, since it is possible to minimize flatulence in early pregnancy through food. Nevertheless, flatulence cannot be completely avoided in early pregnancy. Some even see flatulence as a kind of pregnancy sign.

Bleeding during early pregnancy

Early pregnancy is a very uncertain time for many women, as most of the child’s terminations (miscarriages) occur during this time. If bleeding occurs during early pregnancy, many women are very worried that they may have lost their child. It is very important to know that not every bleeding during early pregnancy means that the patient has suffered a miscarriage.

It is much more common that a bleeding in early pregnancy is due to the fact that the patient has a slightly disturbed hormone balance at birth, which does not level off properly until a few months later. During this time, lighter bleeding may occur again and again. In some women, bleeding occurs not only during early pregnancy but also at a later stage.

The most important thing here is that the pregnant woman does not have cramping abdominal pain. If the bleeding lasts longer during early pregnancy, affected women should also consult their gynecologist. Although bleeding is often normal during early pregnancy, it can also be a sign that the pregnant woman has lost her child. Particularly heavy bleeding during early pregnancy, which is also associated with pulling in the abdomen, can be a sign of miscarriage. Nevertheless, it is generally true that the pregnant woman should initially remain calm in the case of bleeding during early pregnancy, as it is often harmless bleeding in between and disappears again within a few days.
