Why do pregnant women tend to burp more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Progesterone: Hi AyAK, Burping occurs because pregnant women produce lots of a hormone from the placenta called progesterone. This slows the movement of the bowel so gas does Not move through the Intestines as quickly but builds up and the pregnant lady has to burp or have gas pain.
