Bloating & Gas in Pregnancy
Feeling puffy and gassy is very common, especially in the first and third trimesters.
Common Causes

- Iron supplements can worsen bloating.
- Eating too quickly or having gas-producing foods.
Safe Remedies & Tips
- Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly.
- Take a short walk after meals.
- Limit fizzy drinks, fried snacks and rajma/chole if they trigger gas.
- Sip jeera (cumin) or ajwain water.
- Stay hydrated throughout the day.
When to call the doctor
