Hiya,

I am so bloated that I have gone from a 28 inch waist to a 32 inch in 9 days. I feel like i'm 5 months pregnant not 6 1/2 weeks.
I have tried liqorice, plums, muesli, metamusil sp?, orange juice, alternating Elevit one day and just folic acid the next, vogel bread and warm baths where you massage your abdomin.
I spoke to my midwife again yesterday and she suggested I try kiwi crush and/or kiwi fruit which I did last night and I'm pleased to I had a small (very small LOL) success this morning so at least things might start moving again. I have cut out the elevit completely and am now going to just take folic acid for awhile till things get back to normal (which will be soon hopefully).

My midwife also suggested that I get Microlax which apparently is safe during pregnancy from the pharmacy and give that a go, and she also suggested Alpine tea (which is a mild laxative) although it states on the packet not to be used during pregnancy my midwife said 1 or 2 is fine in early pregnancy, so I have that as my next step if this doesn't work as well as I hope it will.

All the best ladies, as horrible as it is it's nice to know I'm not the only one having to deal with this.
cheers Missy
