Tips for not spending all day feeling stuffed

I'm 28 weeks pregnant, the only time I feel comfortable is when I first get up in the morning before eating.
Once I eat, I feel horribly stuffed and bloated. This feeling stays all day because I'm obviously eating regularly.

I'm eating very healthily, lots of veg and protein etc. I struggle to drink enough though because I'm so stuffed Sad

I woke up today determined to find a way to make things more comfortable! Does anyone have any tips?

I was thinking of replacing a meal with a smoothie? Not drinking for an hour after eating? Eating REALLY slowly? Eating small portions? Will any of this help?

Feeling full and bloated makes me feel lethargic and I'm barely getting anything productive done Blush so don't want to stay this way for the next 11 weeks!

34 weeks & I find Less and often is the key, cold /light food better than a hot stodgy meal. I take breaks a couple mins during eating my evening meal & do my best to have nothing after 7pm. I do drink water with food though It helps digestion I think

@Mj2196 Thank you, I do try and stop eating about 7pm because I find evenings are worse all round for feeling full and bloated Confused

I'm going to try and sip water throughout the day. Might be easier if I'm eating snack size meals rather normal meals
