1st Trimester Bloating?

devonleigh83devonleigh83
in 1st Trimester
Is it common to experience significant bloating early on in pregnancy? I'm about 6 weeks pregnant with my first child and I'm scared to death. I feel like the symptoms I'm experiencing are very different than the information ive found while researching. Not only major bloating but I get very hungry/sick every hour if I don't eat a small meal or snack. Is that normal as well???? Help please!!

    This.  It's all normal.  Eat small frequent meals.  Extra protein and lots of water.

    I'm only 5w4d and already so bloated I'm using a hair elastic to keep my jeans done up, because they're just too tight otherwise and very uncomfortable. I'm hungry constantly and eating everything in sight. I too wonder what sites you've been on that say this isn't normal?

    Very normal. Try to relax and quit googling and looking for trouble.

    LOL like the PP said wait until it is your second or third. The bloat is ridiculous and totally normal. On our BMB we call it the "blump"

    This is my third and I can tell you the bloat is VERY normal, for me I had to break out the maternity pants at 5weeks go buy a belly band. I to get sick if I do not eat something every few hours just remember when you go out take a snack with you in your purse like fruit or some crackers ALWAYS carry water with you to this will help you if you eat smaller meals during the day.
