Super-style bloating

Evening All,

I'm nearly 13 weeks and I am getting the most horrendous bloating every day - it's getting really damn uncomfortable!

I've weighed myself in the morning and evening and I seem to put on about 4lbs each day. My stomach is ballooning outwards and it's making my clothes very tight - but I don't want to fork out for new ones just yet - I was hoping they would last a little while longer. The worst thing is how uncomfortable my tummy is.

I haven't changed what I've been eating and if anything I've been eating a bit less because of nausea. I've certainly never experienced bloating like this before.

I was just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences or even better, if anyone knows of any tried and tested safe little home remedies? I'll try anything!!! Thanks

I mean I am putting on 4 lbs each day and then the bloating disappears over night, not that I am accumulating 4 lbs a day Grin

I think it's just one of the joys of pregnancy I'm afraid OP. Something about hormones slowing your digestion right down?
Perhaps you could keep a food diary & try changing up your food a bit to see if anything helps/hinders.
I usually reach for peppermint tea to help with bloating but read somewhere that too much can aggravate the uterus Confused and I did notice weird cramping after having it a couple of times.
Other than that, plenty of water, walking and floaty dresses Grin

It's horrible isn't it! I've just taken rennie's when needed and they've helped a bit!
