Normal Bloating?

I’m only about 5 weeks along, and I have been extremely bloated all week. The bloating doesn’t go away at all, and I feel like I look 5 months pregnant already. Is this normal?

    Yes, can ne normal. Drink lots of water, increase your fiber intake.

    You can also try and watch how much salt you’re eating. And extra water can help flush it out too!

    I’m in the same boat I made me a smoothie with lots of potassium in it and that seemed to help! Try that also drink plenty. But I’m not as bloated as I was. Hope this helps I’m only 4 weeks

    This is me!  I’m about 5 weeks and for the last week I can barely wear my pants.  This is my third.  I don’t remember being this bloated with the other two.  I’m really focusing on my diet and exercise, so I think it’s just par for the course.
