My period is few days late and im having bohot gas and bloating, pet feels so heavy. Cant tell if its just gastric or could be early pregnancy sign. Did anyone feel mostly gas before testing positive?
Oh my god, YES! I just delivered a few months ago and I remember the gastric issues were awful. Bloating, burping, acidity, all of it! It starts quite early for some and then comes and goes. It's totally a pregnancy symptom, thanks to hormones relaxing your digestive system. It does get better after delivery, thankfully!
During my pregnancy, with managing thyroid too, I was very sensitive to any body changes. And yes, gastric issues like bloating and heartburn are very common. It's due to hormonal shifts. It's not usually a cause for alarm, but always good to mention to your doctor during your regular check-ups to ensure everything is okay. Don't self-medicate.
Yaar, actually, gastric issues are super common in pregnancy! I had so much bloating and acidity, it was crazy. Hormones slow down digestion, that's why. Don't worry, it's normal, but try to eat small frequent meals and avoid too oily/spicy food. My gynac just told me to manage it with diet changes.
I'm in my second trimester and I've been having so much gas and burping, it's really embarrassing sometimes! I keep wondering if it's normal or if I'm doing something wrong. Is it really a common pregnancy symptom? Anyone else feeling super gassy?
Yes, gastric symptoms are indeed very common during pregnancy. The increased progesterone hormone can relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, leading to slower digestion, bloating, gas, and acidity. It's a physiological change. Small, frequent meals and avoiding trigger foods can help manage it. If it's severe, discuss with your doctor.
