Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
In pregnancy, pelvic & hip joint ligaments get softened, being stretched due to growing fetus back ache & some times hip joint pain becomes a common feature in pregnancy/.Gravitational change in posture add to it ( body tends to fall forwards due to growing fetus , the line of gravity tends to deviate in front..while back muscles try to pull the body back & keep balance )/ Calcium & vitamin D deficiency add to the problem by making the bones weak.
In later months of pregnancy abdomen bulges, most of it is occupied by fetus. So the intestinal coils have to adjust in small space with lots of loops/ kinks / also pregnancy hormones make intestinal movements sluggish. This in all hampers digestion. causes indigestion,re3gurgitation of food/ vomiting ,/ with abdominal discomfort & pain.
All of these3 can be managed well by life style changes in pregnancy.
Thanks..
