Anybody still bloated in upper abdomen?

I am still having lots of problems with bloating in my upper abdomen.  I start the day out fine and the bloating is horrible by nighttime.  No pains anywhere, just distended and full between ribs and belly button.  I am almost 14 weeks.

I'm doing plenty of that!  I kind of feel like on of the "guys" with a husband and 4 boys who have contests.  I remember carrying my babies so high and feeling like everything was shoved up under my ribs.  But I think it was later in pregnancy.  I never had this bloating.  Of course, that was 28, 26 and 24 year ago so my memory might not be so good....

I'm the same way and I have the perfect solution....although my DH hates it....fart :0)

But seriously, I think it's all our organs being shoved up there.

I get this, but it's down to a bad gall bladder.

Try 3-4 drops of peppermint oil in half a glass of warm water, sip it slowly and hopefully it will get you burping and farting the horrible gas away.

I have the same exact problem.  I am 31 weeks and have been suffering from this for what seems like forever.  I feel full of air, like I'm going to pop every night, no matter how much I have or haven't eaten.  I wish I had a solution but I don't.  I always feel better in the morning but by the evening, it's back again.  Ugh, I wish I could find some relief for this problem.

I think I get that too.  It's like someone has pumped my stomach full of air and I can't take a deep breath because of the pressure.  I'm 27 weeks along and have just felt this a few times in the past 3 weeks or so.  I was wondering what it was but what you're describing sounds like my issue.  This is my first baby so I have nothing to compare my symptoms too.   I just hope they are nothing serious!  I don't know what to do about it.  It usually goes away in a couple hours but during that time it is very uncomfortable to sit down.  I just have to stand, lay, or walk around.
