Second trimester and the gas and bloating is so bad yaar, feels uncomfortable the whole day. After every meal my pet feels so full and tight. What do u all do to get some relief?
Actually yaar, pregnancy hormones slow down digestion like crazy. Avoid eating raw salads at night and stick to cooked food. Drinking coconut water in the morning also helps with the burning.
My mother used to put a pinch of hing in my daal and made sure I drank warm fennel seed (saunf) water after meals. It really helped settle my stomach naturally.
Keep roasted saunf or dry ginger candy at your office desk to munch on after lunch. Since we sit for long hours, try to stand up and walk around the office every hour to keep things moving.
Eat mindfully and with a calm mind, as stress also causes acidity. Try to have small, simple meals and express gratitude for this journey. Take care of yourself.
Don't worry, dear, almost every expecting mom goes through this uncomfortable phase. Try to eat smaller portions more frequently instead of three big meals. It will make digestion much easier on your body.
A slow 15-minute walk after lunch can work wonders for digestion, but only do it if your doctor has allowed physical activity. Gentle stretching also helps relieve gas build-up.
Stop eating heavy, oily food at night and don't lie down right after eating. Drink warm water throughout the day and walk for 10 minutes. This is normal pregnancy gas, no need to stress.
Oh, the glamorous side of pregnancy that nobody warns you about! Honestly, I was like a gas balloon for nine months. Eating small meals and giving up on carbonated drinks was the only thing that saved me.
