I'm facing a lot of gas and bloating problems lately, and it's making me really uncomfortable. What can I do to get relief from this during pregnancy? It's becoming quite bothersome.
Ghar pe my MIL makes me drink lukewarm water with ajwain and a bit of black salt whenever I feel bloated. It actually works like magic and keeps the stomach light. Also, try to sit upright for at least half an hour after eating.
At my hospital, the nutritionist and my gynac specifically told me to avoid carbonated drinks and heavy beans during this phase. They gave me a safe, mild antacid syrup for the bad days. It's always best to just call your doctor's care team to get a safe prescription.
Since I had PCOS, my gut was already super sensitive before pregnancy, and progesterone only made the gas worse. Gentle fennel seed (saunf) water really helped soothe my stomach thoda. Just don't try any heavy herbal powders without checking if they are safe for your body.
Just delivered last month and trust me, gas during the later months was the absolute worst. What really worked for me was small frequent meals and a 15-minute slow walk inside the house after dinner. Avoid drinking water mid-meals, it helped my bloating a lot.
Oh god, the gas pain can feel so much like early contractions, I used to panic and Google symptoms for hours! Please make sure you aren't eating raw cabbage or high sodium foods that bloat you. Warm water with a tiny pinch of hing after eating helped me, but keep tracking how u feel.
