1st Trimester

5th Week and beyond bloated

I cannot even hold my stomach in anymore, and the waist of my skirt was practically up to my neck when I was sitting today.  I am pretty short and in relatively decent shape, but I feel like my body is so out of sorts and huge.  Is anyone else like this??

  • Yes!!! I'm in my 5th week too and the bloating (and gas) are awful! I guess I forgot how bad it was with my DS. My husband actually looked at me last night and said, "wow, your showing!". Ummm... nope, that would just be the bloat, thanks, love you, bye. :-p

  • I had to break out the belly band this morning! This is gonna be a LONG 9 months!
  • I'm in this same boat too. I have been avoiding my jeans for a couple of days now because they don't fit. I am wearing skirts and loose fitting dress pants in public but the second I get home it all yoga pants all the time. I don't want to buy maternity clothes yet but my sister in law said she has been ale to get some nice work maternity clothes cheaply at the good will buy her so i am heading there this weekend.

  • Glad I'm not the only one in week 5 and can only fit into my "fat pants." I do have to say that working out (not running, just lower impact walking, biking, and the elliptical), trying to eat more fruit and fiber and drinking a lot more water is helping with the blowfish syndrome. My Dr. said pg women need at least 2.5 liters of water a day, so I've been making that a goal. At least with the weather getting warmer I can start to ditch the ever-tightening jeans and get into looser skirts. GL!

  • I am super bloaty. I put on jeans over the weekend, and holy hell, i had a muffin top where no muffin top had gone before!! I am begging for my bump to come in soon, so at least i can justify a belly band! HA!

    I am just drinking copious amounts of water in hopes that the bloating will go down soon. :D

  • Yup. Bloating, gas, constipation. It's sometimes painful to have those gas bubbles, but once I let it out, it feels so much better. I often lean back in my chair at work, so I don't have a lot of pressure on my belly, too.
