Feeling really bloated and uncomfortable

[namechangerbat]

Is it normal?

I seem to think I've had this with my first two Dc - I'm about 5/6 weeks with my 3rd and I feel so bloated like I need a huge poo

Normal? When does it subside?

I was massively bloated from 3 weeks until around 13 weeks. I couldn't fit in my clothes from 8 weeks on. It was so uncomfortable & made me feel really sick. It's the progesterone that causes it apparently.

You have my sympathy, hope it passes soon!

I am 12 weeks. I felt very bloated around your stage until, I think, about 9/10 weeks. It has subsided now. Hopefully with Christmas time will fly by and you will be feeling better soon!

Tonight I have a big bump I look 4/5 months. Silly isn't it. I know it's all bloat!!

Namechanger, I have exactly the same thing. 6 weeks too. I've found slouching right down into chair to be the most comfortable position I've found so far. Totally agree on the silliness - have to admit I find (especially when in slouching position) giving it quite a loving little stroke - clearly slipping into denial that it's a bag of horrible gas rather than my lovely little bean I'm giving the tlc to!
