TTC since a few months and this cycle my stomach feels so acidic and burning, more than usual. Period is still a couple days away. Can this gas thing be an early sign? anyone else noticed this?
Oh, I totally understand how frustrating and painful that constant burning feeling in the chest can be! Early pregnancy hormones do crazy things to our stomach. Sending you lots of warmth, please rest as much as you can and eat simple, home-cooked food.
Yes, absolutely. Gastritis and bad acidity are very common early signs because progesterone relaxes your digestive system, making everything slow and acidic. Don't worry, just start eating small, frequent meals and avoid spicy food.
It can definitely be a symptom, but please be careful if it is very severe. I had massive stomach burning which I thought was just gas, but it turned out to be severe dehydration. If you can't keep anything down or have extreme pain, please talk to your gynac.
For me, severe acidity and bloating started right in the first month, and my doctor said my thyroid fluctuations were also making my digestion super sluggish. Please keep getting your regular blood work done and mention this gastritis to your gynac in your next follow up.
Yes, beta, gastritis and acidity are very common when a new life is starting inside you. Try to stay calm, drink cold milk or coconut water in the morning, and keep your mind happy. God will ease your discomfort, take care.
