OK I probably sound dramatic but I am 5.5w pregnant and already look swollen and puffy. Admittedly I am about a stone heavier than with Dc1. I had planned to lose weight before ttc but it hasnt happened. I didnt realise I would feel so swollen and bloated so soon. I am guessing its all water retention. Sigh. Is there anything I can do to feel better. I feel like my face stomach and thighs are enormous (for the stage I am at)

Drink more water, walk, and try to eat more fibre.
