Pregnancy is a unique experience in which, at times, you might be overjoyed thinking about the baby, and on other occasions, you might feel extremely sick. The credit for pregnancy symptoms like gas, bloating, acidity, and morning sickness goes to ever-fluctuating hormones. During the first trimester, some of you might feel like a balloon that is ever inflated with annoying gas.
Pregnant women face a lot of discomfort due to bodily changes, and some of the most common discomforts are bloating and gas. The body undergoes drastic hormonal changes during the first trimester of pregnancy. The heightened levels of Estrogen and Progesterone (hormones) help thicken the uterine lining, which keeps the growing baby safe in the mother’s womb. The muscles of the entire body relax, including your digestive tract, because of the increase in progesterone hormone level. This hormonal change brings a lot of changes in your digestive system, like slowing down your digestion, discomfort in the abdomen, bloating, and belching, causing gas and flatulence.
If you consume large and heavy meals during your pregnancy, problems like constipation and heartburn will also occur. Improper diet and lack of exercise are the two leading causes that heighten progesterone levels in your body during pregnancy.
