Im in my second trimester and after every meal there is so much gas and heaviness, matlab even after eating thoda sa. By evening it gets worse. What is helping you all? pls share.
I know exactly how frustrating this is, it used to make me so anxious that something was wrong with my body. Please breathe, it is extremely common and very normal. Try having warm fennel tea (saunf pani) after eating, it really helped calm my nerves and my stomach.
Arey dear, this phase will pass. Just make sure you aren't skipping meals because an empty stomach makes indigestion worse. Keep some almonds nearby to chew on when you feel the burn, and take plenty of rest, okay?
Look, stop eating oily and heavy food late at night, that's the main culprit. Drink lots of water throughout the day, walk for 15 minutes after dinner, and keep things simple. If it still doesn't go away, just tell your doctor instead of suffering.
Oh god, the struggles of wanting to eat spicy golgappas but fearing the chest burn later! I started having cold milk or thoda sa vanilla ice cream right after my meals and it actually helps soothe the tummy so much.
I had crazy acidity during my pregnancy but managed it naturally. Walking daily and having fresh buttermilk (chaas) with a pinch of roasted jeera did wonders for me. Keep moving a bit and stay positive, your body is doing amazing work!
My gynac explained that progesterone hormone slows down digestion, which causes this build-up. She advised me to have 5-6 small meals instead of three big ones, and never lie down immediately after eating. If it's too severe, ask your doctor for a safe antacid gel rather than self-medicating.
I am also trying to conceive and reading up on this. My mother-in-law says drinking a glass of warm water with a little cumin (jeera) or fennel is very gentle on the stomach. I hope you feel better soon.
