My stomach feels so heavy and bloated almost every day, second trimester now. I want to fix it with food before anything else. What worked for u all? pls share.
Beta jeera water in the morning settles the tummy nicely, and a little ajwain after meals for gas. But if u have very bad acidity or pain, do tell ur doctor, dont just bear it.
Constipation troubled me a lot. What helped was lots of water, papaya (ripe one only), and a bowl of curd rice for lunch. My amma also gave me soaked raisins in the morning. Small frequent meals are easier than heavy ones.
U dont need fancy stuff. Plain dahi, seasonal fruit, plenty of pani, and dont skip ur sabzi. Cheap and works. I avoided too much tea also, that was making it worse for me.
Fibre is ur best friend. Oats, fruits with skin, dal, sabzi, and seriously drink water like its ur job. Cut down on too much fried stuff and maida. Worked for me both pregnancies.
Ngl pregnancy made my digestion a mess lol. Buttermilk after lunch became my fav, so cooling. Also banana and plenty of fruit. Just go easy on the spicy biryani cravings, learnt that the hard way.
For digestion fibre helps, but if ur watching sugar like I had to, pick fruits like guava or pear over too much banana. Veggies, salads and water did wonders for me. Check with ur doctor if u have any condition.
