Is it normal to have a big bloated tummy when you are only 6 weeks pregnant?? Blush

I look massive. I have been eating differently but only because I have felt so sick. If anything I have been eating less.

It's my tummy only though - I look 5 months pregnant !

This happened with my first, but not quite this bad !

Absolutely normal! Your body is producing progesterone and it just bloats you to hell... I’m in the exact same boat, the bloat is just unreal. It’s DC3 for me as well so I’ve just had to go out and buy matty trousers at 10 weeks cause my stomach is so bloated they are cutting me in half. I’ve been like this since 6 weeks. Baggy jumpers and loose joggers for the win x

If its not your first it will be even worse I've read. And has been the case for me. I got away with regular jeans for ages with my first, but had to resort to comfiest asap with the bloat this time around.

Thanks so much for your replies. So it is normal!

It doesn't help that my DPs ex is also pregnant and she literally remains a size 6 throughout.

It's going to be hard to hide it...

This could have been written by me! I've been unable to fit in normal clothes since 5 weeks and am now 8 weeks and have had to buy mat wear! I'm going to have to tell my boss on Monday before everyone notices!
