    Burping, constipation, bloating

    Hi, I have just reached my third trimester. Aside from some minimal discomforts, my pregnancy is just progressing great! I have a few questions though as this is my first pregnancy. Lately, I've been having constant bloating feeling (regardless of the minimal amount of food that I eat). Then comes the burping, it seems like like no matter what I eat, I can't control the amount of burping. Lastly, constipation kicked in. I've never suffered from constipation... Now, I just can't seem to have regular bowel movements anymore... Can anyone give any advice?

    *Sigh* learn to love being pregnant! There are a few recent threads re heartburn so read them for the burping end of things, and remember to eat plenty of fibre, (metamucil if you must) as well as lots of fluids and fruit juice (esp prune juice) for the constipation end of things. Some de-gas or activated charcoal capsules might help with the wind or bloating. But basically hun you're not alone here!
