Bloating??

MissVowles

Does anyone else have bloating really bad? I'm usually pretty skinny and when I suck in you can see the top of a now 4 pack? And then it just bubbles! I actually have no idea how I'm supposed to hide this? I've been drinking so much water and avoiding salts (mostly cause I can't handle the taste of salt right now) I haven't had it confirmed by my doctor yet for my due date could I be off on my dates? If I am it would be a month sooner... Someone tell me this is normal lol

That's a lot of bloat! It sounds like you are doing all the right things but I'm not sure how you are going to hide it either! When is your scan?

I have an apt on the 22 but it isn't for an ultrasound. My family doctor referred me because he doesn't do prenatal so this will be my first visit with this new doctor and she won't do one my first apt. So I'm feeling a little frustrated.. My mom had her "period" the first month and sometimes the second month with all 4 of her pregnancies

I am similar. Very bloated and big for being only 7 weeks along. My appt is next week but I get an US. Maybe make an appt with another OBGYN so you can get 2 opinions. Ask the other Obgyn on the phone if they will do an US, if they don't then find another one. There is nothing wrong with picking your own OB. That's what I would do. Is there a reason you're general doctor needs to refer you?

My general doctor doesn't practice prenatal anymore- in Canada one some doctors deal with the bun in the oven

Wear a cardigan? Seriously though, I went shopping yesterday and realized that many of the styles out there right now could be worn far into pregnancy. Don't ask why I am shopping when my body is about the change drastically. LOL

I'm feeling the same way but then I wonder if I just have more of a gut than I realized. Haha. I definitely see some bloating in my tummy and feel self conscious about it because I know baby is the size of a sweet pea right now! I can't even suck it in the way I used to be able to in order to give the appearance of a flat tummy.

Talked to my doctor this morning and she is bumping my apt to this Thursday and then ultrasound next week she said there's a good chance I'm a month farther then I though- that would be nice considering I wouldn't have to worry as long to get into the "safe zone"
