Holy bloat Batman!

Ok, so I need to push away from the table a smidge, but this bloat is making me look like I'm in my 20th week! Other than drinking water, what else can I do to get rid of some of this? I don't remember it this bad the first pregnancy!

Yeah, weeks 8-13 or so were very bloaty. I bought my first pair of belly panel mat pants at 9 weeks for those really bad days. Drink lots of water and take a good long walk every day, but there's only so much you can do. You're bloaty because your estrogen levels are through the roof (which is normal for the second half of the first tri).

I remember feeling so bloated during my first trimester!  I felt like I was going to blow up

That feeling went away at about 18 weeks.
