Bloated

I am already feeling so bloated and have started feeling like my pants are tight. Is this normal?

    Why, of all things, would bloat concern you? It's just water retention and gas. I promise you will not gas the baby out and yes bloating is completely normal. Eat some fiber and drinks lots of water.

  • I start noticing a difference in my stomach at 5 weeks---I would get very bloated- but would always go down to normal in the morning.

    Now at 8 weeks I am ALWAYS bloated no matter what, and it is big. I have only gained one pounds. But I have a big stomach on my small body. I wish I knew how to make it go away- I have tried different food- it doesn't help.

    I just can't wait till after the first trimester so I can maybe blame it on the baby =P NEVER had a stomach like this- and I have weighed 35 more in the past.

    eat some fiber and take a much needed poop.
  • Yes it is very normal! 6 weeks here and it can get pretty uncomfortable at times. Your body is growing a baby, things in your system tend to slow down a bit during this time.
