Bloated at 4 weeks?

elizhope

This is my 3rd pregnancy, and I swear Im already showing. Im 4w3d. I will admit, I have gained a bit of weight since my son was born 2 years ago, but all of a sudden my belly is sticking out when it wasnt before. Since the baby is about the size of pin head, I doubt its that.

Anyone else get super bloated early on with their 2nd or 3rd (or more) pregnancies? We werent planning on telling anyone until much much later, but if my belly stays like this and gets bigger, no way I can hide it . Is it water retention or something?

With my first I didnt start showing until like 20 weeks, with my 2nd I started showing at 16 weeks. But now at 4 weeks???????? eek

Yes, I'm extremely bloated at night and this is my 2nd pregnancy. I don't remember this happening this bad with my first pregnancy. I hear bloating slows down a bit at 5-6 weeks. I'll be glad when the bloating is less because currently after 5 or 6pm I look about 6 months pregnant.

Same boat. It's mostly bloat and gas at this point, plus your muscles are all already stretched out.

Ugh, yes. My stomach gets bigger and bigger as the day goes on. By the time I get out of work I have to unbutton my pants. I don't know what I am going to wear to a get together tonight. I have been switching to yoga pants at 6:00 every night this week.

This is my 3rd pregnancy.  I am in maternity pants today.  I did have on regular pants, but I was really uncomfortable.  I have the beginnings of a tiny bump.  It isn't all just gas and bloat like everyone says.  You uterus may still be low, but it does push up other organs and stuff.  

I am pretty sure I can't hide this for more than a week or two.

Yes!  I found out I was pg with # 2 @ 3.5 weeks and I swear the bloating started within days. Ugh.  It's starting to subside a little now.

Whew. Well, Im glad its just not me. But I hope it settles down soon. We wanted to wait to tell people when we find out the gender. Kinda like a big surprise all at once since its our 3rd. We found out at 15 weeks with both of my other pregnancies. But I wasnt showing yet. I could easily wear a maternity shirt right now and people would ask when Im due.

Its like I peed on a stick and started showing all on the same day LOL

Me! Super bloated.  I also didn't show with LO#1 until closer to 20 weeks and I am definitely "showing" now - even if it is just bloat!
