I was so incredibly uncomfortable and gassy all day yesterday at work, it put me in the worst mood. I came home and was angry, and just cried for a few minutes. Ugh. Will this ever go away!?
It sucks, especially this week - when you want to be able to eat!

I had issues with bloating off and on throughout the pregnancy but it was definitely worst right at the beginning. I found that taking a fiber supplement was really helpful. It might make you feel a little more gassy for the first couple days but once your body gets used to it it's great. I take the target chewable gummy fiber.

Thanks for the advice. I get gassy on and off, but it's just been so bad the past few days. I think it definitely must have been some leftovers I hate about 2 days ago - I woke up that night with stomach pains and going to the bathroom. Ever since then, it's been horrible.
I'm 16 weeks today.

I usually get really gassy/bloated, but i've been taking Miralax and that has provided so much relief.

I get gassy and bloated not pregnant 
If you do decide to take a fiber supplement, I cannot recommend Citrucel highly enough. It's the only one that doesn't make me more gassy or bloated. The powder works better than the pills and it doesn't taste that bad, just like sweet orange tang or something. Mix it really well and drink it fast. I tried others and they just made me feel worse. I looked it up last night and it looks like it is safe during pregnancy, though check with the doc.
It sucks being so uncomfortable! As a tiny silver lining-- one of my biggest worries when I'm totally bloated is that I look pregnant-- you already are, so that's not a worry, right?

I have this as well and I'm 12 weeks. I keep blaming it on whatever food I had last and after a few days realized that this is just my life now. Yikes!
