Haha I know the feel! I was "showing" from about 8 weeks from all the bloating!! I was always so sick and vomiting constantly, it didnt make sense why I was even bloated when I was literally empty all the time. Just the joys of pregnancy I guess lol!
Stay away from gas inhibiting foods like broccoli, cabbage etc, and carbonated drinks.  If it's more like constipation bloating drink lots of water. I take movicol every couple of days and it helps relieve the bloating (check with your doctor first)
