Retaining Water

I dont know if its the humidity, the fact that I eat so much salt because I am so nauseaus, or what but I am so bloated that my rings are tight and my stomach is incredibly bloated. I am also eating a lot of carbs which I never do, but it is the only thing that does not make me want to throw up.

Is this normal early in pregnancy (about 8 weeks)? Could it also be due to the hormones? Even my face is puffy. I am drinking tons of water so I hope that helps but it is SO uncomfortable. Is anybody else experiencing this?

Re: Retaining Water

i am the last stage of my pg and i am retaining more water than the hoover dam! try to cut back on your salt and drink plenty of fluids. the heat and humidity arent helping either.
