Very Bloated!!!

had720

Hey Ladies...I look and feel very bloated. I look further along than I am and it is getting hard for to find things to wear to work. I have only told a selected few that I am pregnant and will tell everyone else when the next school year starts(August...I will be over 4 months). I am small frame and you can tell my stomach is out there! I just wanted to see if this was a common symptom! TIA

Empire waist dresses are really good at hiding bloat as are billowy shirts. Both of which are in style now thankfully.

I think I lucked out and didn't have much bloat with either one of my kids. I have a small frame as well. Hang in there. The bloat does go away and then you get more of a defined bump

I was very bloated until about 12 weeks. I used a Bella Band so I could wear my pants unbuttoned and then pull that overtop to hold them up. It worked pretty well. I started wearing maternity pants somewhere around 14-15 weeks.

Bella Band is your friend; also - rubber band trick w/ your pants.

I was very bloated and didnt know i was pg. It continued but did go away.  I didnt really even show until after 20 wks, I just looked alittle fluffier in the belly.  I'd just wear shirts that aren't incredibly tight.  I also wore a bella band and used the hair tie on my pants.  I wore the bella band on my regular pants until delivery actually.

I also used the belly bands and they worked great!  I felt the same way as you do...although mine was probably b/c I always felt like I had to poop and couldn't!  (I know, TMI, but it was awful!)  It gets better!!!
