Why the bloating

clmolnar · October 2015

Ok mamas. I am just over six weeks with my 2nd baby. I swear it's like I have a 12 week belly going. Could this be just bloating?

mkemommy · October 2015

Yes, it's bloat. Sucks but just part of the fun right?

clmolnar · October 2015

That makes me feel better! Lol so much fun:/

The bloat is caused by the rise of progesterone unfortunately... It will ease up a bit later when things level out

Ugh, I'm feeling it too and not happy about it lol.
Although I have been eating nonstop lately and drinking soda (which I rarely drink normally) so I'm thinking it's probably all that vs the pregnancy hormones for me

I need to get back on track with my clean eating.

Yup, the bloat hit me hard last night too. It sucks.

I hate it. I wish I could wear yoga pants and DH's tshirts to work.

I said the exact same thing to my H last night. I don't even know how I'm going to fit into my work clothes. Ridiculous.

Yep totally bloated and feeling crappy. Just want to wear my Pj's all day!

clmolnar · October 2015

How long until it goes away. I've been like this for a couple weeks?

The struggle is real yo.

Is there something we can take that would relieve the bloating??

Nope

drink lots of water.

cdnrunning · October 2015

@cattlebride that was not the answer I was looking for lol

The only thing that helps me is sparkling water / seltzer / club soda. It HAS to be carbonated. Plain water makes me even more bloated.

Also, I bought pants and jeans yesterday that are maternity but don't have a panel just yet. They have a stretchy section in each side, like where the pockets are. So they stretch with you. SOOOOOO comfortable. Makes the bloat really manageable.

@BVBabyHopeful where did you get them from? Thanks for the bubbly suggestion, I'm going to give it a shot.

Yes! Sadly, most of my pants are skinny-jeans, so there has been a lot of unbuttoning and long-shirt wearing.

My Lauren Conrad jeggings from Kohls are my absolute best friends these days. Seriously. Get a pair. Now.

Me too me too! That's what I'm wearing tomorrow with a gray Piko! And Prob the next day with a long blouse. And the next day with an oversized tee and scarf (we have a laid back dress code). Love my LC leggings.

I'm so glad that I read this. I'm so bloated that none of my regular pants fit. I've actually pulled out some maternity pants already. I feel like I look more pregnant now than I did at 5 months with my first! Today I dropped my daughter off at daycare and I didn't even bother trying to do up my pants! Thank god for long coats

totsabounding · October 2015

I've already broken out the Be Bands. Sigh.

I'm 4w today & a pair of jeans that I just bought 3 weeks ago no longer fit or button comfortably at all. The struggle is real!!

alysemci · October 2015

So much bloat plus all I can stomach is carbs which I usually try not to eat much of so double bloat

taluce · October 2015

6 weeks 2 days and I was bloated since 4 weeks. I have to unbutton and half zip all my pants bc when they are too tight it hurts. Ugh it really sucks my maternity pants are too big on my belly area right now. The struggle is real.
