Digestion, bloating, constipation

[Arianna1]

Almost every day at least after one meal of the day i feel like i've eaten a balloon, or bricks...depends..the belly feels extremely full, and increases in size and i feel like i'm 9 months pregnant, not 8 weeks... In the morning it goes back to normal. Also constipation issues. Is this all normal?? what to do?

Yes, it's all pretty normal!
How's your diet?
If you're suffering with constipation and have tried the usual dried fruit/prune juice/coffee, you can take fybogel in pregnancy.
If you're 8 weeks you must be due your MW booking appt soon so mention it to her and she'll probably give you more advice.
Congratulations

Totally feel you and I'm 6+4. I'm having to eat my big meal no later than 2pm otherwise I just can't fit it in! Not like me at all. I'm also eating a daily handful of prunes which is helping the constipation

19wks now, but was at its worst at your point. Partly I learnt what I could and couldn't eat without really bad bloating. So half the carbs and lots of salad and veg. Soup worked. Grapes are good for my constipation. Still there but much easier these days,

@Arianna1 I suffered with all this in my first pregnancy especially the constipation, so even tho I haven't get got it I'm not holding any hope that I won't get it! Not the nicest of things either, I feel your pain without a doubt. I would recommend anything with fiber so plenty of grains, high fiber cereal, bread, my midwife last time said dried apricots. Also like a lot off people on here have said prune juice, prunes, also maybe try oranges. Also plenty of water. As for the bloating I have been drinking herbal tea- peppermint and Nettle did it for me.
The things we go through.
I'm 7wks+2days and going through the whole 'all day sickness' when I can eat I get indigestion and can't sleep on a night. Hoping it will subside soon especially the sickness feeling anyway. Counting the weeks till my scan.
Good luck @Arianna1 xx
