Ok this is kind of embarrassing but seriously since i got pregnant the smell is just too much. Im in 4th month. Is this a hormone thing or am i eating something wrong?
After my C-section, gas was a big issue, and trust me, it wasn't pleasant! During pregnancy, the hormones slow down your whole digestive system. This can lead to more gas and stronger smells. It's quite normal, try to eat fibre-rich foods to keep things moving gently.
Ugh, tell me about it! Everything felt gross during pregnancy, even my own farts! It's because of the progesterone hormone which slows down digestion. Less movement in the gut means more fermentation. Try to avoid foods that make you gassy, like rajma or chole, if you can.
I haven't experienced pregnancy yet, but I've heard hormones can do many things to your body. Perhaps it's related to slower digestion? It's okay, these things are normal I think.
My doctor explained it's primarily due to increased progesterone levels. This hormone relaxes muscles, including those in your digestive tract, slowing down peristalsis. Consequently, food ferments longer, producing more gas and volatile compounds that contribute to the stronger odor. It's a physiological change.
Haha, I remember that phase! It's totally normal, beti. All those hormones, especially progesterone, slow down your digestion. So, food takes longer to pass through, and that leads to more gas, and yes, stronger smells! It gets better after delivery, don't worry.
Oh my god, yes! I was just thinking about this! Is it just me? I feel like my digestion is so slow and everything smells so strong. I'm in my second trimester and it's getting worse. Anyone else experience this?
Ah, pregnancy hormones! They slow down your digestion a lot, so food stays in your gut longer. This gives bacteria more time to ferment, causing gas and smell. It's a common, albeit smelly, side effect. Eat small, frequent meals and avoid gas-producing foods if you can.
