Period not due for a few days but ive been so gassy lately, like way more than normal. Could this actually be an early sign or am i just overthinking? trying not to get my hopes up yaar.
Oh god, I felt so embarrassed because of this in my first trimester! Please don't feel bad, it's completely normal and so many of us go through it. Your body is doing a lot of work, so just relax.
It is actually a very classic early symptom caused by progesterone, which relaxes the digestive tract muscles. While it is completely normal, if you feel excessive discomfort, you can ask your doctor for safe ways to manage bloating.
Honestly, it is very normal due to progesterone levels rising. However, if you have severe cramps or sharp abdominal pain with it, please check with your doctor. Take care of yourself during this time.
Haha, yes, with twins my stomach was like a gas factory! Progesterone slows everything down, so get used to it. Just walk a bit after meals and avoid heavy food at night.
Gas and bloating are very common because hormones slow down digestion. Make sure you keep up with your regular doctor checkups and mention it to your gynac, as thyroid issues can also sometimes affect digestion.
