I am 18 weeks and literally overnight expanded dramatically. It is as if someone has pumped me full of air. I have tried Gaviscon but just cannot shift it. Needless to say I am farting and burping - (lovely) but still feel like an elephant. Any tips???

Lukewarm water often works for me...

Squatting....

warm bath and shift from side to side - hot air rises so get the bubbles warmed in your bowel and they will make their way out of their own accord.....otherwise, get used to it duck! (see profile, I am 37 weeks today and feel more like 2 elephants!)

Reply, thanks for those ideas, I'll go and try them now. It didn't happen to me first time round!
