January 2011 Moms

worst - bloat - ever

I have never been so bloated in my life.  If ever I thought I was bloated - I was mistaken, because now I know what bloat really is. My belly is HARD and painful and there is apparently nothing I can do about it.  Seriously, I look absolutely huge and can't suck it in even if I tried.

/sigh.

  • I completely understand how you feel- I feel like a beached whale.... so disgusting. 
  • Sorry that you feel so crappy with the bloat. I am going to drift to TMI and suggest that since you said your tummy is hard, it may be gas bloat from what you ate (and hormones) and if you are constipated. I've been there myself and it's not fun at all.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    I'm with you, I am so bloaty.  I tried on a new tank top (bought before I got pregnant) last night when we were getting ready to go out and I looked enormous, like everyone would have been able to tell.

    I'm guessing it's just gas.  I've heard lots of ladies talk about being horribly constipated, but so far that hasn't been an issue for me at all.  The gas on the other hand...

  • I feel HUGE. I don't feel comfortable leaving the house in anything but empire waisted sundresses, everything else makes me look like I have a huge muffin top, not cute. I can't wait for the bloat to subside and the real baby bump to show up!

    I was the exact same way last night!  Thank goodness oversized tee's and vests are in. 

                      Well, we're on our way to 3 kids, 3 and under.

  • I am using a ponytail holder looped through my button hole and around the button to make my pants "button" for a little while longer. Totally works!
  • I feel massive right now, and dh just offered to go and get us ice cream.  I should have said no...but it sounds so good right now!
  • I look ginormous.... my friend at work said "wow, it's gonna be tough hiding that for another 5-6 weeks"

    I am sitting home right now while DH is around the corner with DD at his godmother's.... i skipped out on cake to celebrate his godmother and uncle's anniversary bc I don't feel like having 30 ppl stare at my belly and wonder. 

    Also, I have HORRIBLE gas... even DD keeps telling me "mommy farts LOUD"

  • Old Navy has these shorts on sale today:

    They are super stretchy and way comfy.  And only $7.  Since I have been super bloated I don't want anything tight around my tummy.

  • ME TOOOOOO!  We took family pictures today & it was so hard to get in my pants!!  I just fit into them 2 weeks ago.  i hate it! I look like I am showing already!!

     Very similar thing happened to me last night.  Wore a top to church yesterday morning that's ruffled around the middle.  Worked fine.

    My bloat always gets worse in the afternoon/evening, so went to wear the same top to a potluck dinner last night and looked like I was 5 months pregnant!

    Had to change tops immediately, because DH and I aren't telling anyone until the 2nd trimester (and I would have certainly given my secret away early with that top!).
