I feel so puffy and full all the time these days, even when i havent eaten much. Just curious when this bloating thing usually starts, is it an early thing or comes later? Pls share when it hit u.
Starts early, like first trimester itself because of progesterone slowing digestion. Comes back again in third trimester when baby pushes on everything. Small frequent meals helped me more than big ones.
For me it started around 6-7 weeks itself. My amma said to eat slowly and not gulp food fast, that actually reduced it. Warm water through the day also helped na.
Bloating is very common beta, starts from early months. Thoda ajwain water or saunf after meals used to settle my stomach. But if it's painful and not just gas, do mention to your doctor.
I felt bloated literally from the very early weeks, even before my belly showed. It was the hormones I think. Honestly some days I felt more bloated than actually pregnant looking, ha.
Mostly early weeks and then again towards the end. At work I started keeping saunf in my bag and avoided heavy lunches. Walking a little after eating made a real difference for me.
