Second trimester chal raha hai and after almost every meal i feel so heavy and gassy, matlab so uncomfortable. Nothing feels like it's digesting properly. How are u all managing this?
Honestly, I felt like a fire-breathing dragon after eating even a single roti! What worked for me was eating tiny meals like a bird throughout the day. And cold milk is a lifesaver, seriously!
Indigestion is so common, but please don't take any over-the-counter antacids without asking your doctor. If it gets very severe or is accompanied by chest pain, contact your gynac immediately. Better to be safe.
For me, drinking fennel seed (saunf) water really helped clear the heavy feeling after dinners. I also completely stopped eating heavy foods late at night. This is just what worked for me personally.
I recently delivered and trust me, the indigestion vanished the day my baby was born! Till then, eating small portions every 2 hours and having a warm glass of water in the morning helped me survive.
When I faced bad indigestion, I directly called my hospital care coordinator and they recommended a safe syrup. They also told me to sit upright for 30 minutes after every meal. Don't hesitate to ask your hospital team, they are there to help!
Don't worry, this is just due to the pregnancy hormones slowing down your digestion. Try to avoid spicy food, don't drink water immediately after meals, and take short slow walks. You'll feel much better soon.
Hey, don't stress too much, almost every pregnant woman goes through this! Just have small meals, keep sipping coconut water, and avoid lying down right after eating. You got this, girl!
I felt so miserable in my first trimester because of constant bloating and burning. Sucking on ginger candies and having light buttermilk with lunch really saved me. It gets better, I promise!
