Is being bloated a symptom?

[Luvvie]

Hi,

I just wondered if being bloated is a symptom of pregnancy.

My boyfriend and i are trying for a baby & i think we have sussed out the right times to make love (think this has been over the last 5 days for us).

Today i feel overly bloated. The pair of trousers i am wearing feel really tight but are usually a perfect fit. I know it's not a case of putting weight on since i last wore them as i only wore them a few days ago.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Luvvie - I;m afraid that bloating for me means that my AF is perhaps a week away. Do you get bloating around about the time for you AF?

I;m not saying you're not pg.... just that bloating can be caused by a variety of things.

Good luck though.... I hope you are!

Luvvie,

That is sometimes a symptom for me too but i don't always get it every month.

When can you test - thats the only way you will really know for sure.

Good Luck

Luvvie - it was for me this time round (I'm 14 weeks) if that's any help!

When did you notice the bloatedness (?) Bluecow?

if i have conceived it will have only been in the last 2-5 days - surely this would be too soon to notice or would it?

Could be many things luvvy, a little soon maybe for pg though poss? I do get bloated but ususally about 2 weeks after conception. Hope you are though!
Hey Jems, like the new look you!!!

Luvvie -I noticed it pretty soon after conception (within a day or so), so you could be, as my DH so charmingly puts it, up the duff!

I don't get bloated before a period so that's one of things that made me suspect I was preggars.

Wey-hey - I'm back - haven't been able to post since yesterday

Anyway, i would never have thought you would be able to tell if being bloated was a sympton that close after conception Bluecow!

Not saying you are lying of course Just find that amazing that changes can happen that quickly

Call me thick

Any news yet Luvvie?

when are you abel to test?
