odd facial flushing

Occasionally when I'm eating I will take a few bites and then start to feel super bloated and can not continue eating. Then my face will flush and become very hot. Recently I have also become nauseated when this happens. I'm currently 16+3, my blood pressure is completely normal and all previous labs have been perfect. Any ideas?

No extra niacin. It only rarely happens. I just keep feeling worse each time.... Thanks for the suggestions!

Are you taking extra niacin in your prenatals?  People often get a flushing reaction from it.
