Bloated or....

I have my booking in appointment on Tuesday next week, so I know I could wait really but I just keep wondering... Do you bloat huge amounts in your first trimester of pregnancy?! I think I'm around 8/9 weeks pregnant but is it possible I may have this wrong and be further along than I think? My tummy just looks really big, both my mum and partner have pointed it out and I'm like no no it's just bloating...

I don't think I've ever met a pregnant woman that didn't bloat a lot during the first trimester! It's totally normal

I got very bloated very quickly and felt huge almost from time of bfp. Definitely by 8/9 weeks I felt like I looked pregnant...

I suppose it is different for everyone! I literally have no idea as this is my first! I feel very clueless as to what to expect / what's normal! Looking forward to my appointment next week so I can feel a bit more in the know! :)

Depending on what I'd eaten I could pass for 6 months pregnant come bed time. Has eased off massively in the second trimester.

Yes definitely! I'm .11 weeks but look about six months!

LilyRose16 · 06/08/2015 21:47

I thnk its normal, im nearly 10 weeks and have looked like i have a pot belly for a few weeks now! Already cant wear my jeans, but im the same weight as i was pre pregnancy!

zippyswife · 06/08/2015 21:50

I'm massive and have been from 8 weeks. Someone gave me their seat on the train when I was 8-9 weeks and again last week-11 weeks.

Im the same 8 weeks and so bloated I keep thinking Im futher too but I can't be

I was bloated from about 7 weeks and wore floaty tops/scarves all of the time. The only thing I found was that it never really went away because as soon as I stopped bloating, the real bump came along - 2nd pregnancy so typical to show earlier. As soon as I put on a tighter fitting dress at 14 weeks pregnant, the bump and news was out there, no more hiding it! And people were shocked that I was 'only' 14 weeks by the size on me. Even though I had lost 5lbs through sickness!
