Belly bloating - 17th week pregnant
Hi, I am 17 weeks pregnant, initially I carried dizygotic twins but one foetus died in 8th week and other baby is safe now. I was using progesterone (twice a day) from the day 1 to till date. My belly started bloating from last 3 weeks. I am worried about this bloating issue . Is this bloating due to baby growth or any other issues. Could you please suggest

An examination by a gynaecologist is important. Belly bloating in pregnancy is common in pregnancy because of high levels of progesterone in the body which cause gas and bloating. However a check up is a must to confirm that the bloating is due to indigestion.
