7 Weeks, Puffed up like a balloon

[sassenach603]

I'm 7 weeks and SO bloated. I look like I'm 5 months and I shouldn't be showing this early! Anyone else have this problem? Anything I can do to reduce the bloating?

Take epson salt baths once a week to reduce your bloating.

I am 9 weeks and I feel like I've gotten so fat already. My appetite is through the roof but I'm still not showing. Can't wait for my baby bump though!

I drink lots of water and walk it out. That is the only thing that helps me (and not even all the time)

Thanks for the advice! Will try the bath and drinking tons of water. Hoping the bloating lessens soon.

Make sure the water isn't too hot- we are supposed to avoid hot baths, heating pads, etc =)

I feel your pain. I've been bloated since I found out at 4 weeks….I'm now almost 12 weeks, and the bloat is still there. In the morning its not too bad, but by the end of the day, I look like I swallowed a balloon. Drinking water seems to make it worst for me, but I drink it anyway cause I know its important. I'm just hoping it'll ease up in the second trimester.
