My pet feels so full and tight all the time even after small meals, first trimester here. Is this what they call bloating? matlab is it a normal pregnancy thing or something else?
Haha, bloating was actually my first sign of pregnancy, before I even knew I was expecting! It felt like I had a balloon inside me all the time, especially by evening. It's totally normal, sweetie. Your body is just making space and adjusting to all the hormonal changes. It goes away eventually, promise!
Haan, right? I'm pregnant now and feel bloated almost every day, it's so annoying and sometimes painful! Is it like, gas or just feeling full even after eating a little? Sometimes I can't even tell if it's bloating or my belly growing. Anyone else feel this confusing sensation?
Honestly, I wouldn't know the exact medical definition, but I definitely felt super bloated, especially in my first trimester. My regular clothes felt tighter instantly, even before a real bump showed. It was uncomfortable, but my doctor said it was very common. Just my experience though, everyone is different.
It's basically your body preparing for the big show! 😂 All those lovely hormones, mainly progesterone, relax your muscles including your digestive tract, making things a bit sluggish. So you feel puffy and gassy. A warm bath helped me sometimes, and light walks! 🛀
When I was staying at ghar pe with Amma, she used to tell me it's just part of the baby growing inside. She would give me light daal-chawal and tell me to walk a little after dinner for digestion. It's very common and nothing to worry about usually, just uncomfortable. Mummy log ka advice na sahi hi hota hai, they have seen it all.
Ohh bloating! I remember that so well, it was almost as bad as the morning sickness sometimes, making me feel so uncomfortable. It's mainly due to those pregnancy hormones, especially progesterone, slowing down your digestion. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals and drink lots of water, it really helped me ease the discomfort.
