Okay this is little embarrassing but since few weeks my gas is so bad and smelly, im like 7 weeks. Is this a pregnancy thing or just my food? Anyone else dealing with this na?
Look, progesterone slows down your gut to absorb more nutrients for the baby, which unfortunately leads to trapped gas and bloating. Try to stay hydrated and avoid heavy, gas-producing foods.
Haha, oh god, yes! The gas during early pregnancy is next level, and my husband practically had to wear a mask. Don't worry, it's just the progesterone slowing down your digestion.
I am a bit shy to ask about this, but I have heard it's very common due to hormonal changes. Eating smaller meals might help ease the digestion process.
Honestly, yes, it's totally normal and there is no need to feel embarrassed. Your digestion goes for a toss, so just drink lots of water and walk a bit after meals.
When I was staying at my parents' place, my mother would give me fresh buttermilk with hing to soothe my stomach. It really helps with the bloating and gas during these months.
