I'm 5 weeks pregnant today and the bloating is unreal I look 4 months pregnant already from bloating. I don't remember it being this bad with my 1st. Has anyone else found this

I had horrendous bloating throughout the whole trimester....i kept trying to convince myself it was a baby bump (it wasn't).

I'm 5 weeks, with my first. So this is all new to me and I'm overly concerned.
I have swelling in my feet and legs.. At 5 weeks.
What is that about. I also feel like I am very bloated.

I am on a course of antibiotics and waiting for an out of hours doctor to call me to see if can come off them. I'm hoping it's those that's causing the swelling somehow. I only have half a days course left so hoping it won't be an issue.

BLOndi03 snap.
Are you having some cramping as well?
I had a miscarriage in February with bad cramping although this cramping is only a little and comes and goes. I'm trying to think positive but sometimes it's tough

@EmilyG2020 yes cramping comes and goes too! Sometimes it's quite painful but it's gone in seconds x

Hiya

I am 10 weeks pregnant, and between 4-9 weeks I have had the most awful cramps, headaches, sickness, numbness in skin, pain when weeing, constipation, serious bloating, heavy discharge, tiredness, hot/cold sweats, growing pains, dizziness.
And this is all with a healthy baby (scan a few days ago).

So don't get worked up on symptoms - because it's all normal! And don't get yourself worked up about possible MCs that are out of your control.
