  I don't know if there is really anything you can do about it. But if it makes you feel better I am in the same boat!! I am 6 weeks. Oh yes it is normal.

  I think drinking plenty of water helps.

  I'm 7 weeks and got called out by a guy at work yesterday.  Actually asked me if I'm pregnant.  I've been drinking water also but don't really expect the bloat to go away.  Doubt any of us will appear skinnier than we do today.

  Yeah, I'm 10w, and the bloat never went away. It is less in the mornings, and is full-on blump by afternoon/evening. I find that walking helps alleviate the uncomfortable feeling a bit. Welcome to the joys of pregnancy!

  I LOVE @chucktgirl 's description of a blump. Yes, I also have a baby blump. It showed up around 5-6 weeks and now I'm in regular old maternity pants at 7 weeks. I switched to maternity clothes around the end of the first trimester with baby #1. I knew I would show earlier with this one. Didn't know it would be this early.
