Between the baby kicking and the crazy bloating, I barely sleep anyway. My doctor said Gas-X is safe because it doesn't enter the bloodstream, but definitely check with yours so you can at least get some peaceful sleep.
Active ingredient in Gas-X is simethicone, which is generally considered safe during pregnancy because it acts locally in the gut. However, it is always a good practice to run it by your obstetrician before starting any over-the-counter medicine.
Yes, you can. Simethicone is perfectly safe and doesn't cross the placenta, but don't just pop them regularly. Get a green light from your gynac during your next visit.
Actually, my wife had terrible bloating in her first trimester, yaar. Her doctor said Gas-X is totally fine to use occasionally. Just don't make it a daily habit without asking your doctor first.

It is generally safe, but before trying pills, maybe look at your diet. Avoiding heavy gas-forming foods like rajma or cabbage and drinking warm fennel water after meals can really help ease the bloating naturally.
