According to my pregnancy tracker app, progesterone rises and relaxes your muscle tissue, which slows down digestion and causes gas. It suggests eating small meals to manage it.
Don't worry, my dear, this heavy feeling is very normal and won't hurt your baby. Just avoid heavy, oily food at night and sleep on your left side to help with the gas.
I know how stressful and physically uncomfortable this feels, and it's totally okay to feel frustrated by it. It's just hormones slowing down digestion, so try to take it easy.
Uff, my cravings make me eat everything, but then the bloating makes me feel like a balloon! It's just gas building up because digestion slows down during these months.
