Pre menstrual bloat looks unreal

[bloatedhippo]

Help!

I am due pd tomorrow but have bloated terribly and dd asked if I was due to give birth soon. Def not pg but have put on 1/2 a stone in a week just with fluid and it is very uncomfortable.

Am pre menopause but this womb area bloating has never happened before. Am a bit concerned that this pd is going to be very heavy.

Does anyone else have experience of this and how do you manage it? It is incredibly painful and I can't even bend properly to pick stuff off the floor, area is so bloated.

Should I go off to bed off my head on painkillers and a packet of chocolate digestive biscuits? please say yes

I used to take tablets from the chemist called Aqua Ban. Not sure if tmyou can still get them as I'm in Australia now.

Thanks tabbycat. I have a packet of a similar herbal type of thing that I had forgotten about so will try some just now.

Drink plenty of water too. It sounds backwards doesn't it? You're retaining water hence the bloating because basically your busy is climing on to water. Put plenty more water into your system and it will let go of what its been hanging on to! I found a low carb diet really helped too.
