Bloat

So I'm 7 weeks and some change and am already feeling the bloat! Thankfully, I'm a dirty hippie and a good portion of my clothes are one size fits most. Huzzah for saving money! One thing that is not; however, is my wedding ring. 

I've heard that your fingers swell during pregnancy but I thought that wasn't until later. Sometimes I can wear my ring and sometimes I can't. I woke up this morning to a pinching finger and had to yank to get it off (even though the day before it felt fine.) I'm wondering, am I doomed for the next 7ish months and should just put it in a safe place? Or after the bloat goes away I might be able to wear it again for a little while?

I'm definitely experiencing crazy hormones considering how much this is upsetting me :(

I'm sorry to hear about your fingers ;( Are you eating salty/high sodium foods perhaps that is making you swell everywhere? I'm 7w4d and only feel bloated in my stomach. I kind of feel like I am showing already but there's absolutely no way the baby is pushing out my stomach as it is only the size of a blueberry/raspberry! ;) Hopefully you can wear your rings again soon!! Drink lots of fluids to flush out all the toxics in your body. Btw, congratulations on your pregnancy!! It's my first and I'm beyond thrilled! Due in July. you?

hmmm... maybe? I'm not really eating processed foods but cheese is the most delicious thing in the world to me and that is high in salt. 

I feel you on feeling like you are showing already! Before I had the US I could have swore that I was way farther along than I really am.

I'm due July 21st, you?

With my first pregnancy, my engagement ring went in the safe by the time I was 5months.  My band still fit though.  Don't take any chances!  After I delivered it took almost 6+ months for both to fit again.  :-(
