Full to the brim!

So I am in my 13th week of pregnancy (woohoo) this is also my first pregnancy to reach this point so I am still learning! I finally feel like I'm leaving my morning sickness behind one day at a time, but now I am faced with this new, constant feeling of fullness! Like after a handful of grapes I feel like o devoured a whole Christmas dinner, it's driving me a little crazy. To the point where I have to remove my already comfy non wired bra because I feel like internally I am bursting and risk lung collapse! Any advice on relieving this feeling would help! P.S I'm also not over eating, I have no cravings whatsoever and no excessive hunger so I don't think that is the problem...

I've been having the same problem since about week 5. I'm 14 weeks now. I'm hating to eat and actually am probably under eating as a result. It even happens when I drink just a regular glass of water. I'm going to talk to my doc about it because I'm worried I'm not eating enough! It's so uncomfortable. I totally understand your pain. I've undone my bra many times like you!

My secret to eliminate morning sickness and reduce overfilled stomachs is to add more liquid calories (whole milk vs. skim and 100% fruit juice) and eat more small meals throughout the day. At the worst point, I would eat/drink something with calories within 15 minutes of waking up/falling asleep and would have 8-10 mini meals per day (each ranging from 50-300 calories).

I sort of tricked myself to eating a small but super delicious meal during my "full" feelings so I could feel like I ate something and enjoy the post-thanksgiving laze.

So I just found out this may be reflux so I'm trying gaviscon and Zantac. I'll let you know if it helps!

I just started having this feeling yesterday. Let me know if anyone finds a solution.

I'm having some improvement with gaviscon after I eat and Zantac 150mg twice daily. Also last night didn't eat anything solid for dinner so that helped too!! It's not perfect but feeling a little better. Still don't have much of an appetite though

so glad I found this I was actually going to start a thread on this exact topic. I've been experience this for the past several weeks and it's so bizarre... like other have mentioned I def don't overeat and I feel full for hours! It's really crazy... haven't tried taking anything for it, was kinda hoping it would eventually go away.

I have also felt this way. I'm wondering if it's reflux, as I always have nasty phlegm too.

I'm in the same boat. I was eating so well the first trimester, and now I can barely have two meals a day without feeling completely full. I just have no appetite now that I'm in my second trimester. I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to deprive baby.
