Anyone else feeling terribly bloated?

This is just awful, so bloated I look 5 months in already, and constantly starving too! I wake up in the middle of the night with hunger pangs, and even though I, trying to eat healthily, hunger and bloating are only getting worse! Anyone has any solutions to this?

If there are I haven't found them! Feel like a giant farty whale right and I'm only 9 weeks!

Same. I'm only eight weeks and I have a pot belly that gets me seats on the bus. Blush

I'll be 10 weeks on Tuesday and I look about 20! No joke. I was the same on my last pregnancy though. I had bloat for ages and then all of a sudden it just turned into a bump. Trying to hide it at the moment is a nightmare though. You have my sympathies!

Yes definitely!
Peppermint tea helps me or hot water with lemon in.
Mine is worse at night Hmm

How good to know I'm not the only one...
Rebbles, mine is worse at night too! It's so bad it almost hurts and I often can't sleep. Will try the tea for sure.

I'm 19 weeks and have had bloating all the way through so far! A lot of it is trapped wind. I just find eating loads of fruit and veg helps with the wind Grin

Just wondering if any of you can help me as your all already pregnant I am due on my period cycle normally around 23-28 days and currently on day 26 no sign of it yet but I feel constantly bloated and have really sore nipples only hurt to touch tho and not the whole breast I know u can get things like this when ur due on but I normally don't have any of you experienced this before u found out ?

It does subside a little!

My stomach was probably bigger around 7/8 weeks than 15 and then it actually started turning into a proper bump rather than horrendous bloat!

bunny85 · 04/05/2015 18:13

Cmo123, it's really hard to tell, before I found out I was pregnant I had all the usual period symptoms, only a bit more pronounced. My boobs hurt fully like before the period, as much as the nipples, only they were more tender than usual. I didn't have any bloating in the beginning.

Having said that, every pregnancy is different, and what you are experiencing may very well be the first signs. I guess you could already take the early test (frer for instance), that's the only way to know for sure. Good luck!

Newton, I really hope it will subside... I can't wear any of my normal clothes, maternity jeans is a godsend!

Thanks for the reply bunny85, I don't really have any other symptoms other than the sore nipples and feeling bloated lol but I guess I will just have to wait and see I don't want to buy a test yet as I will be disappointed if it's negative me and my parter have not been useing any contraception for at least 8 months now and nothing has happened yet :(

cmo123 · 04/05/2015 21:51

*partner oops sorry

bunny85 · 04/05/2015 23:14

Don't get disheartened, it can take up to a year for a perfectly healthy couple to conceive!
I suppose you'd just have to wait now then! I hope it turns out well for you and you get a BFP this time. Good luck! Smile

By the way I got my positive (and it wasn't even faint, proper clear BFP) way earlier than you are now! So if I were you I'd still try Wink (but that's just me though, I'm really impatient about everything)

Yes I am very impaitent to Grin but think I will wait one more day before I get a test as tomorrow will be day 28 an I don't normally go longer than that I have always had quite short cycles. Thanks for your replys I will keep u posted
