Immediate weight gain — The Bump

Immediate weight gain

So, I'm a little over 7 weeks now and I've literally gained 5 inches on my belly. I barely eat since food doesn't really do anything for me and I'm taking progesterone suppositories as well. Has anyone ever bloated out or gained this much this quick ? I'm feeling really self conscious to be honest and hate how my body looks. Is this normal?

    As you said you are bloated. It's completely normal. Drink extra water, eat extra fiber, and the suppositories may cause some weight gain.  You are pregnant, your body will be changing and may or may not ever go back to pre-pregnancy body (my body never did, my hips got wider, and only lost 10lbs. of my pregnancy weight).  Embrace the changes as a positive....if it is really bothering you talk to your doctor.
