water bloat?

[linz]

I'm up 4 lbs in just the last 2 days. I drink at least 9-10 glasses of water a day and pee a ton. Could I still be retaining water? I plan to start walking soon and hoping that helps.

Maybe. A lot depends on what stage (week) you have reached, your pre-pregnancy body type and whether the input (water is that much greater than the output (urine). It also could be a bad scale or the baby is growing. In any case, walking is great exercise for pregnant moms and your plan is sound.

I'll be 8 weeks friday.

Yep, could be water. Your digestion also slows down a lot in early pregnancy, which can cause your weight to vary a lot from day to day. A 3 lb difference from one day to the next is common for me.

I would blame water.

Yes. Don't try to get rid of it besides keeping your water up. Your body is increasing its blood supply by about 50% right now so that your uterus and baby can grow everything they need. You might see things level out in a month or two (or three).
