Horrendous bloating, will it stop?

Have been so bloated since about 7 weeks (am now 10.5) on top of absolutely awful sickness and nausea. I'm fed up!

Sickness is calming down now touch wood but the bloating is just getting worse! I'm already considering wearing maternity clothes as the bloat is stretching my tops!
I'm so uncomfortable by the evening and just feel like a big miserable blob!

Did anyone else experience this and when did it stop? (please tell me it stops!!)

Yes, me. I feel for you, it's so uncomfortable by the evening. I found certain foods made it worse so maybe keep an eye on what your eating to see if you see a pattern with any particular trigger foods. And although it sounds counter intuitive the more water you can drink through the day, the less bloated you'll be.

It stopped a few weeks ago for me. I'm 18 + 5 now, so maybe 16 weeks. Around the same time my bump seemed to pop out (this is when the uterus comes up from inside the pelvic bone I believe). Another benefit of this is that I'm no longer waking up several times a night for a wee as the pressure has been taken off my bladder for now. Can look forward to that start again in the 3rd trimester!
