Why am I so bloated???

So all is ok in the morning....by after lunch, i'm starting to bloat.

After dinner, it looks like i have a balloon in my belly.  I can't even wear my pants.  Def not comfortable or cute!  I'm just shy of 7 wks. 

Is this normal?  It's not my ovaries...I did a natural FET.

Are you taking progesterone?

The progesterone slows your digestion.  For me, I always felt full/bloated.  It also causes constipation with led to a lot of my bloating.

Only supps, not PIO...but maybe.  U are so far along YAY!!!!!

Your body also produces progesterone during pregnancy.  So maybe.

I'm so excited to see you over here!

Totally normal!!!!

Mine went down some around 8 weeks maybe -- and then turned into a bump.

I use the bell.a band and sometimes a hair-tye over my pants. Or just leave them unbuttoned with a cami covering the should be buttoned part -- work is supposed to be business casual - but they dont enforce it too much - and frankly I dont care -- I havent caved and bought work maternity pants yet.

This is exactly what is happening to me. I"m almost 8 weeks. I look normal in the AM and progressively become bloated through the day to the point that my work pants feel like they are going to explode off of me by 5pm!  I attribute it to the PIO, but who knows?!

Totally normal. I was very bloated at the beginning and then the bloat went down. My pants fit better again until the bump actually started to grow. Freaked me out a bit though, I have to admit, thinking somehting was wrong. I was reassured by my OB that everything was normal.

I had the same issue - was related mostly to progesterone/ steroids I was on and the related constipation.  I bought a belly band and it helped a lot.  My bloat has definitely gone down since I stopped all the meds, but I still have a belly.
