Bloating, gas and abdominal fullness

Bloating and gas are common with hormonal and digestive changes, but severe, localized or rapidly worsening pain needs a different response.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Try smaller meals, fluids and comfortable movement if tolerated. Contact care for persistent vomiting, fever, inability to pass stool or gas, bleeding, a hard painful abdomen or one-sided pain.

What changes the answer

  • When it began, whether it is worsening, and how it affects eating, sleep or activity
  • Severity, pattern, one-sided symptoms and accompanying bleeding, fever or fluid loss
  • Pregnancy week, baby movement and relevant conditions or medicines
