I used to get so bloated that my stomach would hurt, and it made me so anxious that something was wrong. But once I started eating smaller portions and drinking warm water, it got much better.
My doctor explained that progesterone hormone slows down digestion, which causes gas and bloating. She advised drinking warm water and eating fiber-rich foods, which really helped me.
Eat mindfully and slowly, and try to avoid talking while eating to prevent swallowing air. Keep a positive mind, do light walks, and let your body digest peacefully.
Drinking fennel water (saunf ka paani) or warm water with a bit of ginger can help soothe your stomach. Also, make sure you don't lie down immediately after eating.
Bloating is super common. Eat small meals every 2-3 hours instead of three large ones, and avoid heavy fried foods. Walking for 10 minutes after meals also works wonders.
Ugh, the bloating in the 3rd trimester is real, I feel like a balloon. Honestly, just avoid gas-producing foods like rajma or chole, and lie down on your left side to get some relief.
