What is this bloat!

in 1st Trimester

I keep thinking it is waaaay to early to feel anything pregnancy related, but I have this overwhelminlgy uncomfortable bloat thing going on!!!  My stomach and back hurt, I can't stop burping, and my stomach is gurgling at me and it sounds angry.  The only good thing is that I can pass it off as period belly if I should catch anyone glaring at me. 

I now turn to you ladies for answers (my 1st Dr. appt is Weds)...

What is this, why is it happening, and what can I do about it?

    Its pregnancy related. Your whole first trimester youll feel really bloated. I hated it. Its starts to go away in your 2nd trimester and then 2 days later you get your bump! It usually has to do with gas!

    What do you mean "What is this, why is this happening and what can you do about it?"

    It's pregnancy. There's nothing to be done about it.

    Just making sure its a common symptom and nothing to worry about.  Also want to know if there is anything I can do or take to alleviate some of the pressure.  Not one of the 8 pregnant women I have been around in the last year mentioned this.

    This may be way personal, but are your BM still happening normally? For me, I get stopped up fast. Fiber, fruit, lots of fluids, colace, etc. helped with at least the sensation of bloat.

    The actual belly has stayed the whole time, but I sort of like it. :)

    Nah, not too personal.  I'm a  little on the backed up side, actually that was the first thing I noticed before I knew what was really going on.  I'll give the 3-F's a try, thanks!  And I don't mind the belly so much, just the pressure. Though if it stays puffy like this we probably won't be able to stay quiet about the poppyseed too long...oh well.

    I have bloat as well, actually that's pretty much the only pregnancy symptom I have other than the fatigue, frequent urination and occasional nausea. I cannot sit at my desk unless my pants are unbottoned, I will be going to pick up a belly band this afternoon. I feel like someone filled my belly up with air.
