Progesterone makes your digestion go super slow, which causes all that gas! 💨 Drink lots of water and have small, frequent meals. It will get better soon! 💛
It's because of the hormone progesterone which slows down your digestion to help the baby absorb nutrients. Don't worry, dear, it's very normal. Just eat small meals and take a gentle walk.
Actually, progesterone completely messes up your digestion, yaar. I felt bloated even after drinking just water sometimes! Just walk a bit after meals and avoid heavy dinners.
This is one of the most common complaints! Hormones relax your intestinal muscles, leading to gas and bloating. Try avoiding spicy foods and carbonated drinks, and sip on warm water instead.
My mother-in-law suggested drinking warm cumin (jeera) water to help with the gas, which really helped me. But always make sure you consult your doctor if the bloating comes with severe pain. Take care.
I remember feeling so uncomfortable and heavy like a balloon in my early months. Your body is doing so much work to accommodate the baby, so be gentle with yourself. It's a completely normal part of this beautiful journey.
I totally understand how uncomfortable and tiring it feels to be so bloated all the time. It can really get you down, but please remember your body is creating a miracle. Sending you lots of love.
