Honestly i feel so full even after eating little and everything just sits in my stomach for hours. This started after i got pregnant, never had this before. Is it because of hormones or something? why does this happen yaar.
Beta this is very normal in pregnancy. At home we used to take warm water and a little soaked saunf after meals, it helps mild gas. But if it gets bad or painful then do tell ur doctor.
My gynac explained its the hormone progesterone, it relaxes the gut muscles so food moves slower. Thats why so many of us get gas and constipation in pregnancy. She said its completely normal, just eat more fibre and water.
Hormones slow everything down, plus the growing uterus pushes on ur stomach later. I ate smaller meals more often and that helped a lot. Walking after meals also makes a real difference, try it.
My saasu maa always said pregnancy makes the pet lazy and she wasnt wrong haha. Its the hormones. She made me have light home food and avoid heavy fried stuff, that really kept it manageable.
