Water Weight....Really?!

edited July 2014 in 1st Trimester
I posted before about feeling like a house already and I'm only 6wks. I'm super bloated, gassy, and somewhat constipated. I go to the bathroom everyday but still feel super full and gassy. I've only gained 5lbs but I swear it feels like 50! ~X(
Most of the people who responded to my first post said it was bloat and water retention but I drink more water than I ever have (like seriously, I crave it) and am still not feeling....flushed out. I don't measure my water intake but if I had to guess it's probably in the neighborhood of 6 full glasses a day. I finally broke down and bought Citrucel capsules. Let's hope that works.
I don't remember feeling like this with my other kiddo. Oh the joys of pregnancy! :))

    I take a fiber gummy every night and it helps a little. I find days when my sodium intake is higher, I feel worse.

    To the OP: if this is your second pregnancy, you might just be out of luck. My body reacted completely differently to my second, and I was chunky bloated from 6 weeks onward regardless of what I did. Increasing your water intake from whatever it happens to be right now is worth a shot, but don't be shocked if nothing helps. It doesn't mean there's something wrong.
