16 Weeks and my wedding rings are tight already!

Oh no, this is not supposed to happen already. Granted, I started this pregnancy a tad underweight, so I tend to gain a lot when pregnant (I gained 60 lbs with DS). I just think my body goes into overdrive when pregnant to compensate. This is either due to warmer weather we are experiencing or this is clearly water retention already? Ugh...last time I think this happened when I was at least 30 wks or so.

Can anyone help me feel better?

Do you drink a lot of water? I drank a TON of lemon-water and I think it helped.

Not as much as I should. I will try that. That and cut out eating salty foods. I guess that popcorn last night was a bad idea...

Thanks!

I can't stand plain water, so it was always lemon water.

Somewhere I remember reading that lemon water specifically helps with bloating. I hope it works for you!

Oh, thanks! I will try that right now as I have been staring at these huge lemons in my fridge that my mom brought home from San Diego and didn't know what to do with them (other than my son's request for sugary lemonade).

Thanks!
