Abstract

Animal experiments and limited number of human investigations in addition to clinical experiences suggested that gastrointestinal motility is inhibited during pregnancy due to metabolic and hormonal changes. Particularly the higher level of progesterone mediates this inhibitory effect inducing several digestive symptoms and diseases (Scott and Abu-Hamada, 2004).
