3rd trimester chal raha hai and the bloating is unbearable yaar, after every meal i feel so full and gassy. Doesnt let me sleep properly at night. What do u all do for some relief?
First of all, stop sitting immediately after meals and go for a 10-minute slow walk. Drink warm water, avoid heavy fried foods, and don't keep your stomach empty for too long. If it's very severe, just ask your doctor for a safe antacid instead of experimenting.
I tracked my diet on my app and noticed that dairy and cabbage were major triggers for my gas. Try eating small, frequent meals rather than three large ones to give your digestion some space. Warm jeera water also works wonders!
That tight, chest-pain-like feeling from gas used to make me so anxious and worried that something was wrong. But it's just pregnancy hormones slowing down your digestion. Sip on warm water and try to do light walking, it will pass and you will feel better.
In my joint family, my saas immediately made me drink warm ajwain water whenever I complained of gas. Honestly, it actually works like magic! Just a small cup of warm water with boiled ajwain and a pinch of black salt can give so much relief.
When morning sickness is already killing you, gas just makes it ten times worse, I know. Try chewing on some roasted saunf (fennel seeds) after eating. Avoid drinking water in the middle of your meals, keep it for afterwards.
Oh sweetheart, I totally understand how uncomfortable and painful that bloating can feel. Try drinking a warm cup of light ginger or jeera water, it is very gentle on the stomach. Take care of yourself and rest as much as you can.
With two babies squeezing my stomach, gas was my permanent roommate! My best tip is to eat small meals and never lie down flat right after eating. Prop yourself up with extra pillows and keep moving a little bit.
I used to get terrible bloating during my pregnancy. Drinking lukewarm water with a little bit of fennel seeds (saunf) after meals really helped soothe my stomach. Also, try to chew your food slowly so you swallow less air.
