I am in my second trimester now but honestly, the bloating in my first trimester was unreal! I literally felt like a balloon after eating anything. Did anyone else also get such severe gas early on?

Chandni Doshi · Answer

Yes, absolutely. It's one of the earliest signs due to progesterone slowing down digestion, so drinking warm water helps.

Roshni Bhatt · Answer

Yes, bloating is very common in early pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

Oh yes, progesterone makes your gut so slow. I had a C-section and faced bad gas bloating even during recovery, so I know how annoying it is. Walking a bit and eating light really helps relieve the pressure.

Same here yaar, I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and the gas bloating is crazy! I feel like I already have a baby bump but it's just gas. Does drinking ginger tea or ajwain water help with this?

Yes dear, bloating and gas are very common early pregnancy signs. Try to eat small, frequent meals and don't worry too much. It gets better soon.
