Bloated

Hello everyone.
Has anyone else bloated this much??
5 weeks 3 days pregnant I know it's early days and I know you can bloat but I already look a couple months gone🤣
Also, did anyone get any cramping at the left and right side of the vagina at the top? Shooting pains on and off ?????

I looked 6 months pregnant throughout the first trimester and convinced myself it was a baby bump but it was all just bloat 🙈
I also had lots of cramping and shooting 'ligament' pains in the early days too as everything started to stretch.
I'm now 38 weeks.

Same here! I was huge and had pains in my right side. Currently 31 weeks.
Try and drink plenty of water. Sounds counterintuitive but it does help a lot!
Also try and eat little and often instead of larger meals to reduce the speed at which you bloat 👍🏻

I'm 5 weeks 5 days and very bloated 😅 I've been literally only wearing maternity leggings for the last week!

*6 weeks 5 days sorry!

@Sophied98 I'm now 7+4 and from about 6 weeks I was sooo bloated I found that prunes are my friend and have really helped get everything moving properly again.
Yes I got sharp pains low down above my pubic (much lower than I expected to get them) along with shooting pains. I have since had a scan and everything was ok xx
