Omg since few weeks im sooo gassy and bloated all the time, kabhi kabhi quite embarrassing also. Never had this before pregnancy. Is this a normal thing or just me, anyone else feeling same?
Progesterone slows down digestion, which naturally causes a lot of gas and bloating. If it gets too uncomfortable, it is best to consult your doctor rather than taking over-the-counter antacids.
With all the progesterone support during my IVF pregnancy, the gas was quite bad. Please be gentle with yourself, eat small meals, and know that this is a very normal part of the process.
I feel so bloated all the time, I was actually worried if something is wrong. Did others also feel like a giant balloon in their first and second trimester?
I am literally dealing with this right now in my second trimester, it is so embarrassing! Does anyone else also feel super bloated even after just drinking water?
It definitely does, but make sure you are walking a bit after meals to help digestion. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be careful with my meals, and light walking really helped ease the gas.
My saas made me drink warm water with a pinch of hing and ajwain daily, and it actually helped my bloating. It is just the hormones slowing everything down.
For mild gas, drinking fennel (saunf) water or warm water after meals works wonders ghar pe. But if you get severe cramps or vomiting, please contact your doctor immediately.
My pregnancy tracker app says hormones relax your intestinal muscles, leading to gas. It suggested eating smaller meals and avoiding carbonated drinks, which really worked for me.
Yes, it is very common due to hormones, but please make sure you dont have severe stomach pain with it. I always suggest keeping your doctor informed about any persistent discomfort, just to be safe.
