Bloating at 10weeks

I'm prone to bloating, but his time round it's worse. I feel like I can't control it as I have split muscles that haven't repaired. Two dds close in age, and this one is close.

I am ten weeks gone and look about 5 months. It's not baby, I'm naturally slim an tall, I just bloat so bad and can't go to toilet often!!
I am trying lactulose, water intake but nothing.

Not being rude but it resembles cat poo! The size of it! That's when I go!, I probably go about 1-2 a week.

And it's causing me to be so Uncomfy and look huge when I know I'm not. Lactulose doesn't seem to work but gives me gas?

Sorry if tmi. I just feel really fed up!

And it's bizarre, because I've actually lost weight? I'm still 60kg. But my tummy is popping out

I didn't show with my first babies until about 20weeks

Hmm

Have you been to the dr? Constipation will cause awful bloating.

Between 8 and 11 weeks I was exactly like this.
Losing weight, but bloating bigger and bigger. DH and I went on holiday and I didn't 'go' once in the 10 days we were away, I was 9 weeks but looked 5/6 months as the Cypriot tour guide kept telling me (as she rubbed my swollen belly!) so I started telling people I was further along just to avoid the eye popping stares when I said "9 weeks"!
I put on 8lbs in the first 7 weeks of pregnancy because I was so hungry, then MS hit and was nauseaus all day, and I lost all 8lbs I had put on, would have been more, but I existed on Lucozade mainly, which helped keep my calories up a bit.
It has evened out now, but mostly my 'bump' has stayed the same and from 14 weeks onwards just grows and is hard now, prior to it, it was bloating and I could tell it was, but I liked the fact it looked like baby! (Not pasta, or creme eggs, as DMIL kept telling everyone!!)
I am 19 weeks now and looking massive, but it is ALL bump.
I know its not comfortable,but there isnt much you can do. I tried all fruit and veg that are meant to help... and nothing much did!
