“After delivery, your body goes through a multitude of very sudden physical and hormonal adaptation – and some of the results, such as increased funny, are not so glam,” Shannon Smith, MD, OB-Gyn and member of the Babycenter Medicine Advisory Committee.

While your body adapts to your pregnancy to postporum, your digestive system plays compensation. In addition, these other factors can be great contributions for postpoven gas and bloating:

Constipation. When you are closed, bacteria accumulate in your hose, causing gas and bloating. Lack of movement, hormonal changes, and dehydration can all contribute to the postpartum of prison.

Pelvic floor damage. During pregnancy and delivery, your pelvic floor stretches nerves and muscles can be damaged. If you had a perineal tear or episiotomy, it can further weaken the muscles. If the muscles around your anal sphincter are injured, the resulting pressure can make a painful for Poop and / or stranger to pass gas, resulting in bloating.

Watch your diet. It is a good idea to avoid processed and fatty foods if you fight gas.
