Dear Mumma, During pregnancy, the levels of hormones Oestrogen and Progesterone are raised. Progesterone is known to cause sluggishness of the intestinal motility leading to constipation and/or bloating. Since you are not having constipation, it is likely that you are having either worm infestation or amoebic dysentery. Please get your stools examined after an overnight purge. The worms will require deworming while the amoebiasis can be dealt with Metronidazole. Please make it a habit to walk for about an hour after each meals before lying down. This will help you. Gasex tablets, plain soda, carminative mixtures will help you get relief from gaseous bloating. I hope this helps you. Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
