  My bloat/gas has been horrible since I found out I was pregnant. It was one of my first symptoms unfortunately! Lol! I have been taking gas-x and that seems to provide some relief. I called my obgyn first before taking it and she approved.

  Yep. I told my friend at school that I was pregnant and she said she already knew because she felt my belly when she went to hug me around my waist from behind. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. -_-

  I know it sounds crazy but I've been bloated since the day or two after we conceived. It's kind of nice because it's a little reminder of baby throughout the day.

  I told my girlfriend I feel like a Macy's Day parade float! Not going to lie... I broke down and bought pregnancy jeans. I can't sit comfortably in any of my pants. And I'm not doing the hair tie thing.

  I couldn't agree more.
  I put on my jeans the other morning and they wouldn't do up.
  I had to lay down on my bed and try to get them up haha. My bf was laughing pretty hard at that one.
  So I wore leggings.

  YES!! We've been keeping it a secret until after our first appointment, but when I wore an empire waist dress the other day you would have thought I was on my way to deliver! Glad I'm not the only one.

  Oh my lord yes! I'm still a little pudgy from my son who is 14 Mo. I wonder if that's why I feel so big on top of being bloated. I feel embarrassed to tell anyone im pregnant because it's too early for me to be showing .... but my belly is huge!

  Agreed! The weird thing for me is how tough the bloat is. I expected bloating, but I didn't realize it would feel any different than usual!

  I appear to be about five months along already and I'm 7.5 week. It's crazy. Everyone says you don't need maternity clothes until 18+ weeks- who the heck are they kidding ?! I'm about to go get some maternity pants!

  Gosh yes, I know what you mean! I'm 6 weeks and am not as bloated as I was last week. At this point, I've just let my stomach go. I can't hold back anymore. I feel like a potbellied pig.

  I'd rather be 6 months pregnant!! At least at that point you look like you're pregnant, not like you've been eating too many donuts!! This bloating can feel free to end at any time!!

  I'm so glad I'm not the only one! When I went off birth control I oddly gained about 10 lbs in 2 months, then found out I was pregnant. So basically clothing is really not my best friend lol
