How can I get rid of bloating and indigestion?

Trust us, pregnancy has got this on all of us - and we only have our hormones to thank for these regular discomforts! Your pregnant body is making more estrogen and progesterone to relax the smooth muscle tissues in your body. Unfortunately, this causes side effects like bloating, indigestion, constipation, and all the aches in your stomach.

There are ways that you can combat this, and sometimes we may be adding to these discomforts on our own. Like when we eat too fast or wearing clothing that is a bit too tight in the tummy.

Try avoiding these:
• Eating greasy foods
• Eating big meals
• Drinking too much and too fast
• Lying down right after a meal
• Wearing clothes that are restrictive

If these sound a bit too familiar, try avoiding them. Eat smaller portions regularly instead of eating a huge meal in one seating, get a bit of a walk in after a meal, and maybe it's also time to shop for maternity wear that is loose and comfortable!
