Ur signs suggest gastritis. Scopy is not advisable unless it’s emergency. U can have antacids and fibre rich and less spicy diet.

Bloating and abdominal pain can be common in pregnancy due to hormonal effects. Endoscopy and colonoscopy are not advisable unless symptoms are not relieved by common medications and can be done only if gastroenterologist feels it's necessary.
Please consult if any further doubts and for prescription
