Beat the Bloat

Stensgard

Any tips on how to beat pregnancy bloat? I hate feeling bloat-y. I'm guessing I'm around the 5/6 week mark and my pants should not be feeling tight.

Cut back on salty foods - check all labels for sodium content, it can sneak up on you. Drink LOTS of water. Eat small meals. Snack on fruits and veggies so you get enough fiber bc soon a poop will become the holy grail. Stay active - walk for at least 30-45 min a day if you're not too exhausted. Other than that, I haven't found anything that stops it.

Yeah, thanks for the advice!  I need to watch the salt, but all the salty carbs (i.e. saltines) help my tummy.

embrace it. Pregnancy is full of not-so-lovely things... but the end result is the loveliest thing of ALL!  Enjoy even the bad.
