Try eating smaller meals more often. More whole foods and less carbs. Your stomach has less room for a regular sized meal. Your digestion also slows down during pregnancy, too! Your baby will take from you want he needs, so no need to over do it.

Yes, normal.  It's probably because your digestion slows down during pregnancy. Try drinking in between meals, you could leave out any juices/sodas too.  There's not a lot of nutrition in juice--just fructose with no fiber.  I've been drinking peppermint tea for gas and it helps.

You may have adjusted your diet to be more healthy and your body may be adapting to that too. My OB gave me a list of acceptable antacid/stomach ache type of meds.  Call with your symptoms if they didn't give you a list and they'll tell you what's ok to take. My OB said gas x is ok
