Heavy bloating and hair loss in pregnancy

[Sisyphus85]

Some advice please.

I am 6w pg and have had the most uncomfortable bloating (I look about 20 weeks) for the past 10 days. Peppermint teas helps a little... but not a lot.

This morning I lost two big clumps of hair in the shower!!!

Anything to worry about? Or is pregnancy really this rubbish?

Also any advice on killing the bloating?

I found time was the only thing that stopped the bloating. Sorry!

congratulations! the more bloated you are, the more water you should drink so your body isn't feeling the need to retain it. other than that, you just need to ride out the early bloating. it sucks, but it eventually goes away. hair loss I'm not sure. I didn't lose any, but I certainly did not get the lustrous hair and glowing skin that some are lucky to get. chalk it up to hormone shift and hopefully it'll stop soon. sorry, that can be upsetting I'm sure.
