Baby got bloat

mrsalvidrez · August 2014

Ok fellow bumpies sorry for those of you thinking "this girl doesn't know how to use google". I do, as a matter of fact, but this is a long question and I love the feedback I get from all of you. Anyways here is my deal: I start out the morning with a normal, relatively flat tummy. By the end of the night it's pretty freaking bloaty, like I would say I would not be able to camouflage this bump from people to not know I was pregnant. But here is the deal, I feel so full and my tummy is tight and but the only time I don't feel queasy is after I eat. So I keep eating to make myself feel better, and as a result I feel all tight and bloaty and kind of yucky. Anyone facing this same issue? I don't want to overreat, but I snack really lightly In between meals that are like @ least 4 hrs apart so I don't really think I am. Idk, hopefully this is not too scatter brained that you have no idea how to even respond.

I'm not even 5 weeks yet and this is happening to me too. I'm not complaining! I mean it sucks but I am glad the reason is a baby!!

From what I've been reading and feeling I think bloat is just part of it. I wake up in the mornings the same way and some days by the end of the day my pants are unbuttoned I feel so bloated. A couple of things I found to help is just snacking all day and not even eating an actual meal and drinking a ton of water. Also even though I'm craving them I cut back on the saltier foods.

Thanks for all the helpful hints!

Yes that's me also. Totally bloated and this is my first pregnancy. I'm constantly burping and my stomach has a pooch from the gas.

@SharkFarts‌ @drmrsmantis‌ thanks and sorry I know this was such a similar post to the "I know it's bloat but why is it all in the paunch" one

My doctor recommended drinking a lot of water to help. I've noticed it helps with the bloated feeling and keeps everything running as close to normal as possible.

@sprcutie2003‌ thanks for the advice! Unfortunately most days I'm lucky to get a few sips of water in because even the thought of it makes me want to throw up. I will have to try to get more in me!

I feel like i look bloated 24 hours a day!! I doubt i would be showing at 7 weeks (as of tomorrow)... Right? Please only one baby in there! Lol

You just described my life right now perfectly. Hunger is my greatest enemy and yet when I eat even something small, my stomach bloats up like a beach ball. I'm already "showing" - only it's a gas, bloat, constipation baby.

I have a little belly when I get up from sleeping. Don't feel boated but def have bloat going on. This is baby #3 so they say you show sooner. Was hoping not this soon!
