Holy Mother of Bloat!!!!

I am 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I am so bloated I look 5 months pregnant. Does anyone else have this problem??

NenaB54 · May 2015

Yup. Many of us! U r not alone. I am already having to dress differently while trying to hide that I'm preggo since it's so early. Search for bloating you will find tons of threads on this.

mreynolds1508 · May 2015

Thank you. Is there anyway to make it go down?

I'm 5w6d and oh my gosh I have been SO bloated the past couple of weeks! The bloating went for one day this week which I found almost scary but it returned full force practically overnight haha! I feel your pain! Xxx

I haven't found anything that works. I had problems with bloating before pregnancy when eating certain thing and I used to take charcoal caps but I haven't found them in a long time plus now I can't take them. Do you have any food allergies or sensitivities? I find that when I eat gluten/bread or a lot of dairy it is worse. Now I need to try to really stop eating that stuff but of course it's one of the only things I want right now with all the nausea and everything.

Oh yes. I'm 8weeks and this photo was me this morning before eating. Ugh.

Yes! 7 weeks and i am so bloated that i look preggo even thou it's wayyyy too early to be showing! Even when i wake up before eating which is usually the time when i can look in the mirror and tell myself i look pretty skinny. I can't even suck my stomach in to make it look flat anymore! Ugh!

Yep me too

I'm 4+5 so only a day behind you

. I am so bloated that I swear people are staring

annoyingly before I was pregnant I had just started to think I was loosing my belly (jeans felt less snug and there was actually need to wear a good bel for I'd loose my trousers) I am about a size 16 so not a small lady! Anyway now I have to have the button undone and the zip halfway down - WTF. Even my 8 year old said - "your tummy is really fat, you're having a baby" which I was a bit stunned but denied it. He was joking of course - little does he know! Lol. I think. The answer is to invest in the waist extenders

Mine isn't too bad but thankfully I have a lot of loose blouses and dresses!

I look pregnant. I'm only six weeks. Holy moly. However I'm eating everything so it's just bloat.

jtd423 · May 2015

I'm 5weeks 4days and so bloated it is terribly uncomfortable! I worked as a labor and delivery nurse so I know that this is normal but OMG I never thought it'd be this bad!

Rakastajatar · May 2015

I'm actually not. I drink a plenty of water. And I always watch what I eat. Funny thing is I'm not hungry most of the time. I do have extra weight, about 20lbs maybe that has something to do with it.

victoria2106 · May 2015

Yeah I'm only 7 weeks and stomach feels huge! Not sure how I'm going to accommodate the bump with my wardrobe!

juneandboo · May 2015

Im at 5w1d and am so uncomfortably bloated

Side benefit- boobs have gone up a size already, ha!

mreynolds1508 · May 2015

I am a size 24 or at least that is what my pants were I was losing so much weight before I found out I was pregnant I wanted to buy smaller pants because even a belt wouldnt hold them up now they are cutting into me for the bloat. And I'm not really gassy. Idk what to do. I went and bought a belly band last night so I can keep wearing my uniform to work.

mcrane8 · May 2015

YES, it's out of control and kind of hilarious!!

vintagevice · May 2015

I'm so relieved to hear it's not just me! I'm only 7 weeks and nothing fits right! Lemon water had helped a bit. Oh and sweatpants... First thing I put I when I get home. Lol

Haha same here on the sucking in. I'm 7 weeks as well. I feel like I've been bloated for weeks and weeks now, though.

TUOHEYBABY · May 2015

I hear ya! I'm 6 weeks 4 days and very bloated. Everything I have fits me tight and I eat well and drink lots water and walk my dog a lot. Its the hormones!

abbi1995 · May 2015

This bloat is crazy I swear!!!! 7w4d

MsCrispi214 · May 2015

This bloat is awful! My husband was so excited that I am "showing" I hated to break the sad sad news that I'm just bloated :-S

friendlywolf0913 · May 2015

Yup! I'm exactly as far along as you are and have the same thing!

lraubaugh · May 2015

Hey guys- I'm trolling from the November board because I'm bored at work!!
I'm almost 17 weeks and I can ASSURE you that this will go down!!
The bloating freaked me out so bad in the beginning, I was convinced I was like 6 months pregnant or having quads haha
But it finally went down and now I have a regular normal baby bump.
Don't worry

mreynolds1508 · May 2015

Hey I finally have gas!!! It's helping the bloat go down... but it's still there.

valrayyy · May 2015

I feel like i look 3 months preggo...idk how im hiding this anymore...im 7w4d...i wasnt over over weight but i was a little chunky to begin with but i hope this belly is normal loll

mrsgetz4000 · May 2015

Yup. I feel huge. And I'm going to Florida next week. I feel like a beached whale in all my bathing suits. When my friends see how fat I look and I won't drink with them, they will be highly suspicious
