Bloat?

I am feeling huge and I just either need reassurance that this is bloat or am I really this big. Or is it a little bit of both. I'm a fairly petit gal and tall so I have a lot of room to disperse, this just seems crazy. First morning picture right after going to the bathroom and trying to suck in!

Re: Bloat?

  • Haha that would be bloat. Don't try and fight it. Embrace the bloat.
  • From your picture, looks like we are built the same and my stomach looks like same as yours! By evening it's WAY worse too.

  • My husband and I have been pregnant three times "on accident" in the past seven years and we actually tried this month and I got a positive two and a half weeks later, not to mention I am a fraternal twin. I think I'm just being hyper sensitive! Thank you easing the mind anddddd the belly. Embrace the bloat, best advice ever! Hahah thank you! Xoxox
  • @CCLow87 Well sounds like we are in this together! I love this forum. Cheers to bellies, babies, and bloating! ;)
  • I had to but a non-form fitting shirt yesterday to go on a double date with some friends or else it would have been OBVIOUS. Usually, I'm all for embracing the bloat though!! :D:D

  • Oh girl I hear you. I am right there with you. Feeling blah already!! Embrace it is right!! Symptoms remind me this is real and that everything is still working
  • Yes absolutely :) Great perspective!
  • I was wearing maternity clothes by 10-12 weeks with my second, this round I'm ready for them and I'm only 5. The bloat is unreal!
  • @RNJH2010 I'm wearing my maternity jeans as I type this \:D/ To be honest, I never stopped wearing them. They are SO comfy.
  • So glad to know I'm not the only one with extreme bloat. I am fairly small and it is so obvious that something is going on most of my pants already feel so tight.
  • Bloating was one of my first symptoms with my first pregnancy! It's crazy! Wait until Ppl know you're pregnant and want to touch your baby "bump" but it's actually just your bloated belly, haha!
  • Yes! I'm feeling the same way! And trying to keep the pregnancy on the DL for a few more weeks at least until we see the Dr. Any advice on keeping it concealed? The bloat and the preg in general?

  • I am extremely bloated! I told my husband that I already feel like I look like I'm in my second trimester and the baby is only the size of a poppy seed...

    I've tried wearing tight pants but then I feel awful. So I've been trying to wear looser clothing. I saw somewhere about having the bartender put a lime in anything helping to fend off questioning looks as well lol. It's just so hard to hide the excitement! We're horrible liars so if someone straight out asked I doubt we'd keep straight faces.

  • Same here. Will be 6 weeks on Saturday and today I've felt so bloated!!
  • I am relieved to read that this is a shared issue! We are estimating about two weeks along but I feel very bloated and uncomfortable.The heat doesn't help, although I've always run on the cold side I have been uncomfortably warm the past 5 days. Still trying to process this amazing and awesome news!
  • I'll be 4 weeks since LMP tomorrow. The bloat is so real! And uncomfortable.

  • So glad I'm not the only one! This bloating is something else! I look like I'm well into my second tri and I'm only 5 weeks. Good thing scrubs hide everything :)
  • Holy crap my bloating is out of control.  I look like I'm 6 months pregnant!

  • Thank you all. I feel like a house. I think even my face is bloated. When I go back to work they are going to notice for sure.

  • alicianoelle22  Yesterday I had a maxi dress on and no matter how hard I tried I felt like I was huge. I decided if anyone asked I was going to tell them I was due in Feb and not April. haha.
