I am newly pregnant with my third and I have MAJOR bloating. I am very uncomfortable and have started to get heartburn too. Is there anything I can do to relieve some of the bloating?

Just to let everyone know that I did find a plus to bloating. It is caused by progestrone. And progestrone is important in maintaining a healthy pregnancy.

Well good! I've been bloated like a blimp off and on since finding out. Haven't found any relief yet - every time I eat it happens... which is often.

I know this sounds really contradictory... but drink more water. It helps a ton with bloating!

Lemon water. I chugged it like crazy. Found out later it's supposed to reduce bloating. I never did bloat much so...?

For indigestion I liked peppermint tea. You might want to ask a midwife/doctor if it's ok - I seem to remember the leaf-peppermint being ok (not essential oils) as a tea in moderation. One cup a night was the best for heartburn etc.

Yoga can help bloating and digestion.
