Bloating!

First thread :)

I’m only 4 weeks pregnant and am already horrifyingly bloated to the point where I can’t suck my stomach in and there is a visible bulge. Is there anything I can do???

Thanks in advance!

Activated charcoal helped me at times with the bloating.

I’m approx 4-6 weeks and I’m in agony tonight with bloating. I can barely sit it’s that uncomfortable. My husband has just offered to go the Boots to see if there is anything I can take but I feel bad sending him out now. Going to take some paracetamol and get an early night x

I used deflatine I think.

Thanks ladies. My waistbands are already so tight, was hoping that wouldn’t happen for a few weeks 😂

I had terrible bloating until 13 weeks and then my 'bump' finally deflated. I was in maternity jeans really early on as my clothes were so tight. I didn't find a solution other than to disguise my belly with cardigans, baggy tops and long scarves!
