6 weeks - SWOLLEN!

[babbibubbs]

Hi Ladies!!

I'm currently 6 +5 and my stomach is so unbelievably swollen! My stomach is usually quite flat so it's starting to look really obvious at work even underneath baggy tops.

Did anyone else suffer from swelling or bloating this badly? I'm not eating much due to nausea so definitely not down to food! Also this is my first pregnancy.

Attaching a pic so you can see what I mean!

Thanks in advance xxx

Hey @babbibubbs I'm similar time along and I'm puffed out too, it's mad! Feel like I've grown an extra tyre the last week and a half!! Having to really think about clothes everyday!

I’m 6+4 today and the bloat is real 😩

@fizzledays @NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking glad it's not just me, it's got to the point where it's almost sore it's so big! I'm convinced people are looking at it suspecting!

@babbibubbs totally know how you feel, I'm super paranoid! Seeing my sister for first time in a few weeks this weekend and already trying to figure out what to wear!!

I'm 9+5 and it does go! I was so worried a couple of weeks back that I'd need to start getting maternity clothing early but about a week ago the bloat subsided and I'm back to normal. I got some button extenders from Amazon to help and I found a large drink of fresh orange on the way to work and about 5 dried apricots mid morning set me up for the day and stop the constipation.
