Early weight gain

[Jojo1987]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this. Found out I'm pregnant last week I'm just coming upto 6 weeks and usually a size 8-10 however, iv noticed I seem to be soooooo bloated and it's making me feel awful :(
I really wanna enjoy my pregnancy but I am quite nervous about putting on tons of weight so I'm trying to eat well and walk as much as possible I'm also planning on starting swimming a few nights a week from next week!

However, the bloat have any of you had the same problem so early? Also can you suggest anything that helped? Haven't seen midwife yet but spoke to pharmacist the other day who suggested gaviscon???? HELP! Be nice to just get rid of the flabby bloat and feel normal for a while as have no other symptoms other than this and VERY tender boobs!

Xx

It will pass :) its all part of first trimester lol im usualy 10-12 now 27wks and a size 12-14 though my diets just gone to pot! :( cant stop grazing on crap and when i have my meal i just dont feel like anything so go for easy options! Wich are entirely unhealthy, and i dont do much exercise as id like to due to lot of complications. In the early stages i had this and 24hr sickness up until 10wks when it all passed. Then i struggled with the constipation. But ive managed to get it all under control now. I mainly ate ginger biscuits and toast for the first few weeks but was still bloated all the time, i just kinda put up with it. Its your hormones raging and i dont think theres anything you can do other than ease it a lil with gaviscon. You could try milk of magnesia in small amounts, that helped me with my constipation. Try drinking pure juices and stuff....wait till you get to the later stages and bottle of gaviscon will become your best friend! Loool
