Bloating and pregnancy.

Sometimes* I bloat so badly after eating that it looks like I'm 8 months pregnant. I have a small frame which I think makes my stomach protrude outwards, in the manner of a blossoming, far-gone, pregnant lady.

This normally wouldn't bother me, as I've always ballooned in this way since I was little. However, I got married two years ago, and I know that my ridiculously traditional family is waiting for another baby. As such, I'm becoming paranoid that they may think that, with my massive bloated belly, that I'm a few weeks gone.

I've also started wearing baggy tops to hide the bloat, but I'm not sure that this is helping, or that my family think I'm trying to cover up a pregnant belly.

It's a bit silly really, but I was wondering if anyone can sympathise with me?

I had the most horrendous pregnancy bloating. I never knew how fat I'd be from one day to the next, at least the bump was consistent. I feel your pain.
