Bloating !!

Anyone else look like they are 5 months pregnant but are actually in the first stages? I'm 6 weeks and everyday for the past week I end up with this ridiculously bloated tummy so much so my mum commented on it!! The only time it's not there is first thing when I wake up in the morning. It's not the end of the world but just wondered if it's common in the first stages ..?!
( ps its not due to over eating either , I'm eating normally )

Mytime I am exactly the same - 3 people have asked if I am pregnant in work! By 4 each day I am huge and seriously look about 5 months, I'm only small naturally so it is really obvious! Sat here now at work with my trousers undone and yesterday had to take my pencil skirt off in the car because it was too tight haha! GP has said its common and will settle down later on Smile

I had exactly this too. Am now 20 weeks and at 6-8weeks my stomach looked the same as it does now - especially towards the end of the day.

Makes it really hard to hide the pregnancy! But I promise it does get better.

I drank lots of water and took Fybogel daily - good luck

I'm 10 weeks and a stranger asked me yesterday if I was pg. I'm not sure if it's bloating or leftover flab from DD1.Smile

oh my yes, i was in mat jeans at 8 weeks. it was ridiculous! sooooo uncomfortable. then at 14 weeks, as soon as the nausea stopped, the bloating went away too. i wonder if it's the same hormones that cause both.

am now actually 5 months and look the same as i did at 8 weeks! nuts.

Yes, me too! First baby, I'm at 13 weeks and my tummy is so rounded already. Jealous of all these people who say they didn't show til 20 weeks, I'm not showing as such, it's just flab and bloat!
