How are you handling the bloatedness?

Question

I am 21weeks and 3days today and starting some time last week, the bloatedness is becoming such an uncomfortable feeling that I'm having a very hard time dealing with. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat or drink, or how much/little of it, the result is still the same. Sometimes I can barely breathe because I'm so bloated.
Ladies please share some of your remedies because I really can't take this. It's stopping me from enjoying my pregnancy and I feel so guilty because I feel like my little girl probably feels like mommy is rejecting/blaming her 😭 Stupid, I know but you're all aware of how all-over-the-place hormones are during pregnancy --> 😭😃🙄☺️🤔😢😰😩😭😂😷🤕😋😍😘😡😕😤🤒😪☹️🙃

Answer

I stopped bloating around 10-12 weeks and haven't really had any bloating since, now it's just a big uncomfortable baby belly. I know that when I boated though, drinking lots of water (I know it seems counter intuitive but it works) helped. Also, a bit of caffeine (I know your limited to 200 mg while prego.) helps because it's a diuretic. Hope you feel better soon

Answer

Drink water and eat healthy foods. I notice it gets worse when I eat something high in fat or salt, etc. I have that same issue from time to time too, I also use essential oils like ginger or peppermint for those fermions of bloat too.

Answer

Definitely water and actually getting up and moving around helps me. If I sit still or try to lay down it just gets worse. Oh, also eating smaller portions for your meals. Like, do five small meals rather than three regular sized.

Lukewarm Epsom salt bath and a cup of peppermint tea helps me

Glass of hot tea usually does the trick for me
