I can't leave my spicy cravings, so bloating is my best friend. I drink buttermilk with jeera powder after meals, gives major relief.

3rd trimester and gas is a dangerous combo, honestly! I just walk like a penguin post meals to get some relief, hanging in there!

My doctor said progesterone relaxes digestive muscles, which causes this. She advised eating small meals and drinking warm water, and it actually works!

Stop eating heavy meals at night and avoid too much maida. Simple walk karo, thoda jeera paani piyo aur sab thik ho jayega.

Haha gas is like a permanent family member in pregnancy! Just drink lots of water and avoid acting like a gas balloon by walking a bit after eating.

Actually, even before conceiving I get bloated. Gentle walking and a bit of warm fennel water (saunf) might help, but do check with your doc first.
