Does pregnancy cause bloating and gas?

Question

Im in my 8th week and honestly i feel so full and gassy all the time, even after eating very little. My tummy feels tight by evening. Is this a pregnancy thing or am i just eating wrong? anyone else feeling this?

Girl I felt like a balloon the whole first trimester lol. Totally normal, just keep some ajwain handy and avoid too much fried stuff.

Omg I used to feel so bloated I thought something is wrong but my gynac said its just pregnancy. As long as there is no sharp pain its fine na.

My amma told me to walk slowly after dinner and it really eased the gas. Bloating is normal but if it ever comes with bad cramps then do tell your doc.

Yes totally normal, hormones slow down digestion so gas banta hai. Eat small portions thoda thoda through the day instead of heavy meals, that helped me a lot both times.

Beta this is very common. Ajwain water early morning is something we used at home for gas, but check with your doctor once before starting anything.
