    With DS I swelled horribly. This time I'm proactively trying to avoid it as much as I can by drinking a lot of water (sounds counterproductive, but it helps) and avoiding salty food, especially packaged and processed food with lots of sodium.

    I am going through he same thing!  The gas is the worst - I feel like if someone poked me with a needle I would fly away like a balloon loosing air.  I fear drinking anymore water because I already spend the majority of my day peeing.  I do t remember bloat like this with DD!  Hang in there, we only have a few more weeks before the baby kicks the bloat out!

    For me drinking plenty of water (it helps flush your system out) and being active seem to help. Also the occasional cup of coffee seems to help "clean" my system out and help with the bloat. Even decaf helps me. I haven't been too bloated until this week and today felt like I had the hugest belly ever.

    I have been drinking a lot of water. Maybe I need to drink a lil more and I think I am going to try a little decaf tomorrow to see if that helps at all!

    I so agree! I am tired of feeling so fat and it not being baby.  I wish there was a way to either be pregnant belly or no belly.

    I'm 11 weeks too.  I've found that drinking a lot of water, not soda, helps.  And eating really small meals.  I eat half what I would normally eat and then eat the other half a couple hours later when I'm hungry again.
