Bloating tips!

Hi everyone

I am 10 + 3 weeks pregnant and I'm so bloated!! My belly has expanded so much with air! It's quite uncomfortable too, as well as being constipated! I read that peppermint tea was quite helpful for the digestive system, and I'm eating prunes to help me go! Has anyone got any tips of advice to help beat the bloat!!

Water, water, water! Helps soooooo much! My Bloat was crazy in my first trimester, so just drunk as much water as possible.
I also took colpermin as well as it was really bad at one week, but so speak with your GP before just taking it.
Plenty of fibre too.
I feel your pain OP! I was huge at 10 weeks because of my bloat and has only started to subside in the last few weeks and now 21 weeks!
I hope you feel better soon.

I’m looking for tips too. I’m 14 weeks tomorrow and suddenly I feel like I am fit to pop. I’m really bloated, swollen in my upper abdomen and it’s starting to get really uncomfortable. Am going to try some peppermint tea now...
