Bloating...bad!

smileygirl91 · October 2014

Anyone else getting really realllyyyy bad bloating? It's usually by the end of they day. I've been burping heaps too? I have IBS but have never taken anything for it just watches what I eat. Wondering if it's just worst from the pregnancy? I FEEL LIKE A BALLOON!! Any natural remedies? x

Everyone is bloating. Read the threads before you make a new one.

xxstephh · October 2014

Who cares if everyone makes a bloating thread .. Don't be so rude.
@smileygirl91‌ I'm bloating a lot also and I'm only 6w4d. I've actually called it "showing" as the bloat is caused by baby. Even if baby is still teeny tiny !

Sarahbmcd · October 2014

I'm not being rude, just trying to get people to use common sense. We Don't need five threads a day about bloating by ppl who apparently think they're the only ones. If they would check out threads before making one it would save a lot of time and annoyance for everyone.

People tend to get annoyed by new threads with the same topics over and over again. (Ie am I showing yet and I'm bloated) Please read the intro posts at the too of this forum, it gives you a friendly heads up about how the board works and how to search prior threads

It's just to early for this shit. It's really getting old. Come on find something else to be annoying about.

I just... I mean... Umm... I DON'T GET IT!? When midnight hit it was no longer Tuesday. Why is this still happening?

OnceInLoveWithAmy · October 2014

"Oh, you are bloated? I have no idea what that feels like"

...said no one on this board ever.
(This is my new response to all the bloating posts)

Seriously though, this is getting out of control. I was trying to find a post from yesterday and it was buried on the THIRD PAGE. Mostly because there were 37397293 other posts on bloating. THATS why we ask you not to start a new post.

Because there are post for everyone to update their appts, some had good ones some had bad ones and need our support. There are people that have lost their little ones or about to and they need our support. BUT I can't find any of these post because they are on page 2-3 because page 1 is full of post that someone's bloated.

The world doesn't revolve around you!!! Such a simple concept.

Didn't you know you are not allowed to use the word BLOAT anywhere on this site? Just kidding. Post away! Their is no law against posting a thread on bloating!

Dude. Did you just miss my post and Pintobeans? We aren't saying you can't. There is a post at the top of the page that's says DISCUSS YOUR SYMPTOMS (OR LACK OF). Post about your bloat there all you want. There are people who need legit support but no one can find it because of your selfishness!

It's really not a difficult concept.

You don't seem to like it here. I'm curious why you stay?

happy924 · October 2014

Actually @Poppy715‌ I read posts that interest me. The subject of this post interested me. I'm just curious why you are here? If you hate these posts so much, and they bore you...why are you keeping them alive by continuing to post?

You are this facinated by bloat? Weird. I'm here because I like the board to be somewhat organized and manageable. 1,000 posts about bloat keep this from being possible. I get tired of reading the same thing over and over so I'm here in hopes of cutting down the redundancy.

How many different explanations or interpretations of bloat are there? Really? It's bloat. It is what it is, honey. In any case, bless your heart. >:P

And now I have to go pee. For the 5th time this morning. :-<

Here's the thing @corthooley for all the "interest" you seem to have in this thread and topic you have conveniently FAILED to provide anything of use to OP. You love talking about bloat all day every day? Then perhaps you should personal message her about her original question which was natural remedies. Or was your main goal to come on here and try to change the tone of a community you obviously don't care about?

happy924 · October 2014

Congrats on managing the over 1,000 posts on bloat. You are doing a great job by keeping this post alive. I am still on here because I was hoping you and your posse would just leave and go find some other victims. I didn't comment to the OP because I don't know the answer. That's why I'm on here. To actually get info on a topic that interests me. Not that I need to explain myself to you at all.

Then don't expect people to be willing to help you if you can't answer a question. I seriously wanted to know what was so concerning so I could give you legit articles explaining bloat is harmless and a normal part of pregnancy. You know since this topic interests you.

Yes. I'm sure you have the best of intentions. Thanks but no thanks.

xxstephh · October 2014

Well for one , on my phone I can't search for other posts. And maybe some other can't either, therefore instead of searching through pages they just create a thread. There is nothing wrong with that. & for two , no bloat is not baby , clearly ! But it is most definitely caused from baby. Therefore some people call it a baby bump and others just call it bloat. There's no right thing to call your slightly showing/bloating belly.
You all keep saying t goes away.. I know someone who was 5'2 and about 100 lbs that started showing/bloating at 7 weeks & it never went away, her belly kept growing. So everyone has their own opinion , and definition. but none of you have her body or are her so clearly you do not know. So stop bein so rude towards other pregnant mothers to be and grow up !
I'm done here. Good luck ladies ! Hope you all have happy & healthy pregnancies

I'm pretty sure you can. The search function is on the bottom of the page. Easy. Also I'm curious why you have to start your own bloat thread each time. There are tons of other ones all over the board. Why can't you look to those as a resource?

xxstephh · October 2014

Clearly I'm not going to waste my time searching through pages for someone else's post about bloat, if I want to make a post about bloating I will. It doesn't concern anyone who isn't here to help , and no actually the search isn't on my phone.

You don't really have to search. All you have to do is scroll down on the first page and you would find 3 threads that have something to do about bloat and/or showing already.

Seriously. We aren't asking you to climb Mt Olympus here.

Dear God in heaven...what is it with you people? We're asking for you to take a moment to check the board and see if there are already posts that say the same thing rather than starting a new one. You don't even have to use the search function FFS, just scroll down the list of topics.

You want to know why we're trying to get people to do that? It isn't because we're mean, heartless, cliquey bitches. It's because there are women who need REAL help and support whose posts are being bumped down to make room for more posts about fucking non-existent bumps. Read one of the "I'm out" posts or the Limbo check-in where women are having real trouble and need real support and then tell me we're all a bunch of awful rude people. We give support to those who need it. Not to special GD snowflakes who are so self centered they think they deserve their very own thread for the SAME thing that was already posted three times in the same day.

Really....... I am not stupid! I feel that if someone wants to post something then let them no matter how many threads there are.

Do you not get that you are making the situation worse by constantly commenting about how much you can't stand yet another bloat post. You claim that you need to get to all the women who need "real" help yet everytime you all comment, this thread gets pushed up. Just stop commenting and posting gif's if you guys don't like the thread. Then it will be gone and pushed to the bottom.

Well she implied there was a posse but won't tell us where. She's cherry picking who/what she resonds to. I sure hope I'm in it. It's my life's goal to be toes popular on the interwebs.
