Brief Answer:
possibly due to gastritis....explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
At 33 weeks of pregnancy when the uterus has grown in size, it tends to press on the stomach along with intestinal loops being pushed up , especially in sitting or standing position which causes an apparent compression of stomach. SO IT IS ADVISABLE THAT YOU SHOULD BE EATING SMALLER BUT FREQUENT MEALS HENCE . i.e.. instead of 3 large meals take 6 small meals every 4 hrly and keep your water intake high as this shall prevent any constipation as well.
This shall prevent bloating sensation and definite vomiting. This can be due to increased gastritis as well which is common in late pregnancy and hence you may use tab rabeprazole 20mg twice a day for 7 days and you shall find that bloating and nausea has reduced which were the apparent cause of pain.
If the pain doesn't subside and repeats for next 3 days then you should be getting an ultrasound abdomen done to look for any subacute intestinal obstruction which is not so uncommon in late pregnancy though.
I hope i have answered your query in detail,
Wishing you safe pregnancy ,
Regards
