I've noticed I feel very bloated and gassy even though I'm only a few weeks pregnant. Is this feeling of bloating normal in early pregnancy, and what exactly causes it? It's making me quite uncomfortable.
It is just gas and your digestion slowing down due to pregnancy hormones. Don't worry, just drink warm water with a little jeera or fennel seeds after your meals. Avoid heavy, oily food at night and walk for 10 minutes.
Listen, your body is producing progesterone which relaxes your digestive system, hence the bloating. It is totally normal, not a disease. Stop googling every small symptom, eat light ghar ka khana, and it will settle down.
Basically, your stomach decides to inflate like a balloon for no good reason! It's just your body's way of testing your husband's patience with your constant burping. Just wear loose clothes and let the gas pass, nobody is judging!
Oh yaar, bloating in the first trimester is next level, actually! I used to look 5 months pregnant in my 6th week itself due to all that gas. Just skip the carbonated drinks and heavy street food for a while.
