    So, I'm about seven weeks pregnant (yay!) but things hae been really hard the last month because I have had terrible indigestion.  I know this is gross, but I just feel like I have a huge amount of air in my stomach all the time.  So I'm constantly having this painful gas and just burping and belching.  (Gross I know!  Sorry!)  I have tried keeping track of my food but my indigestion doesn't seem related to what I eat.  (But maybe I'm missing something?

     My questions for my lovely bees are:

    1) Is this common?

    2) Does it get better later in pregnancy?

    3) Any tips on minimizing it?

    Thank you all!

    I hear bloating+constipation is really bad around that time frame. In fact, one of the blogs I read chronicled weekly photos and i remember at week 6 she was SUPER bloated. Like, obvious. Then two weeks later, she was all deflated like normal. Totally weird. Hope you feel better!

    This happened to me too when I was in my first trimester. Could not stop burping! It will go away with a little bit, its not weird at all!

    This is a classic first trimester thing.  Just embrace it and know that it's a rite of passage we all go through.  It was great to have an excuse to be one of the boys for awhile ;)

    Yep very common.  You can try Maalox, Mylanta, or Tums.

    Ugh, this was horrible in the first trimester for me, but it went away eventually. I noticed that it was particularly bad in the afternoon. Once I started controlling my lunchtime intake a bit more (which was hard cause I was so hungry!), it got somewhat better. Also cut back on carbonated drinks -- that might help.
