I don't think there is anything that can be done except a bowl of ice cream, or fresh baked cookies. I vote cookies.

I should have done this sooner....but my stupid GYN kept telling me I had time....I am so switching after the wedding to another doctor

I think I may have to change my fitting date again....I cannot be fitted for my dress when I am like this

Anything help the bloating Jen???

Don't eat anything salty and drink some water. Also try to exercise, you'll feel much better after. I used to double up, but sometimes the PMS is worse afterwards

God I hope this does not back fire on me...I could kick myself for not speaking up to this doctor...I should have done this in April or March

Try taking water pills. They have helped me when I was retaining a ton of water.

This is what I did when I was totally bloated for my sister's wedding...Try Diurex and drink a TON of water.
