Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to bloating. Based on the fact that you are pregnant I suggest you to drink liquids and eat a healthy diet. I recommend to avoid caffeine or spicy food that can trigger the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
