ridiculously full!

realizinglife · March 2012

I am only 5 weeks and already feel like i am going to explode after eating any meals! I have read about this happening to women farther along, anyone else having this already?

I get this sometimes after I eat too, I think it's the bloating and full stomach competing to make me miserable:)

i've had a bit of crazy fullness after not eating much but mostly i've just got super specific cravings and the need to have something in my tum all the time. unfortunately for everyone that lives with my my current obsession is brussels sprouts, sauerkraut and pickles. i do not smell good.

Oh yeah. Between the bloating and constipation, I feel uncomfortable most of the day. I feel full because I can't seem to get anything out! Eww. Fortunately, these are really the only pregnancy symptoms I've had and I'm 10w2d. No morning sickness, no weird cravings I can't live without. I'm tired much of the time, but I have that problem pregnant or not, so it's not much of a change for me.

Yes. What is going on is that your digestive tract has slowed to a crawl allowing your body (or really, baby) to absorp every ounce of nutrition it can get from your meals. I used to joke that I had my food baby after every meal. My stomach would get hard as a rock and I was SO FULL even after eating a small amount.

I feel like it got better (or have blocked it out) during second tri and on... Then in third tri it is truly awful because you just don't have room for food. Totally different sensation though, and what you usually hear about.
