Hallow Dear,

At the outset let me congratulate you on your pregnancy.

Let me solve your queries one by one:

1. Frequent urination is one of the cardinal symptoms of pregnancy. This is due to the pressure of growing uterus on the urinary bladder. Therefore, if you do not have any other urinary problems, you may ignore this issue.

2. You are eating very frequently and that too sumptuous amount of food. This is naturally leading to bloating due to gaseous distension. Please modify your eating habits. Have small feeds 6 times a day at the interval of 3-4 hours. As far as possible have bland diet. Avoid spicy food. This should take care of your gaseous distension. Moreover, for immediate relief, you may take some carminative like plain Soda or Gasex tablets.

During first three months, I would not press you for any specific diet or any medicines. Eat what you like and what you can digest. If you can tolerate take Folic acid tablets. After 3 months, you will be advised about the diet and medicines when your nausea and vomiting will go away.

I hope this helps you.
