It eventually just turned into bump. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-bloat#post-2234996 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 12:43:44 +0000 NeonPink1234 2234996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@leighleigh: I googled the tea and found it on a couple "best teas for pregnancy" bit they didn't specify about trimesters. You could ask your doctor just to be safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-bloat#post-2234944 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 12:18:13 +0000 leighleigh 2234944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: @NeonPink1234: great! and both of those are safe to take in the early weeks? I read something about not too much herbal tea, but dandelion might not fall into that category... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-bloat#post-2234888 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 11:52:21 +0000 sarac 2234888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Magnesium. Absolutely kills the bloat. I take 400mg a day. Absolutely essential in the third trimester, but I started in the first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-bloat#post-2234719 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 09:49:05 +0000 NeonPink1234 2234719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try dandelion tea and tons of water and fiber. I havent beat the bloat, and I'm not usually a believer in teas, but I've had it three times and it seems to really help. It makes you pee a lot right after, so drink a good bit of water. Worth a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-bloat#post-2234652 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 08:54:52 +0000 gracecat 2234652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Acupuncture worked for me when I swelled up late in pregnancy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fighting-bloat#post-2233267 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 17:28:36 +0000 Mamasig 2233267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my experience - nothing!
