Spinoff to constipation..just bloating..and TMI sorry

I am so bloated and uncomfortable, almost in pain its so bad (not constipated so I did check that thread) I want to cry. Anything I can take or any natural remedies that anyone can suggest?

When i was young, i had trouble burping (sorry for the TMI) but that seemed to go away but i still dont drink a lot of soda for fear of getting bloated or my stomach hurting but I did drink a bunch of ginger ale yesterday for nausea so I think that plus I guess just pregnancy symptoms in general are making me miserably bloated like I could hardly breathe.

any help would be appreciated!

eta: 7 weeks 1 day

Well for constipation you can safely take Colace. I find it helps with bloating as well. You take it 3 times a day until your regulated then you can cut back to 2 if you get constipated or bloated again then go back to 3.

I find when im not taking colace im sooo constipated and bloated I cry because of the pressure it puts on my belly.

And to be honest not to scare you but my dr always tells me to stay on the colace cause any added pressure (ie constipation/full blader) can cause the uterus to contract. Nothing to harm the baby but its an uncomfortable feeling and theres no reason to be uncomfortable.

Gas x always works for me. Also hot tea. (usually decaf just because)

Try hot water with lemon!!!!

Lots of fluids, hot water with lemon, and walking. It'll get things moving around.
