How to get rid of bloated stomach during pregnancy?
I'm in my first trimester and my stomach feels so bloated all the time, it's really uncomfortable. What are some effective ways to get rid of a bloated stomach during pregnancy?
Ah, the lovely bloating that makes you look 6 months pregnant when you are only at 6 weeks! I literally lived in my husband's oversized t-shirts because of this. Try to skip the spicy food and just embrace the gas, it's totally normal!
I am currently planning my pregnancy and reading up on all these symptoms to prepare myself! Bloating seems so uncomfortable, but I've heard eating smaller meals helps. What worked best for you guys?
My doctor explained that high progesterone relaxes your digestive muscles, slowing down digestion and causing gas. She recommended drinking plenty of water, walking for 15 minutes after meals, and avoiding carbonated drinks. If it gets very painful, definitely ask your gynac for a safe antacid.
Arre, don't stress too much about this, bloating is literally a part of the pregnancy package! Just avoid heavy fried food, walk a little bit after dinner, and wear loose clothes. It gets better, babe!
