Hi,

I'm just coming into my 8th week pregnant, I am extremely bloated to the point where it actually looks like I have a pregnant belly already! Is this something others have experienced?

I'm 12 weeks and if you saw me I look 20 weeks: the bloat and fluid are real!! It can become uncomfortable too.
I was with my midwife today and she said it's completely normal

My first pregnancy with my son I was pretty much almost in maternity clothing by the time 12 weeks came around! Was very bloated from early on. By the time I was 20 weeks people were thinking I was ready to pop.
Was the opposite with my daughter, I didnt have to wear maternity gear until about 20 weeks and almost had no bump.
This third time I am very bloated and only 6ish weeks so wondering if its maybe another boy.

I think I look a good 5 months pregnant but am only 5 weeks - in my case I think it’s probably down to my progesterone supplements!

I'm 10 weeks, finished my progesterone supplements a few days ago and since then I look huge!

I was terribly bloated at 9-10 weeks but it has vanished now (I'm 11 weeks).

I have been bloated since 7 weeks and am now 11 weeks and still look about 6 months. It isn't too bad in the mornings but as soon as I eat I swell up. Also getting a lot of trapped wind which is uncomfortable 🙄

I'm 9 weeks and extremely bloated, it looks like I have a proper round bump. Funnily enough I can press down on the bloat at the top of my stomach and there's nothing there, it goes down to where my stomach should be 🤣 so I don't really know why it's so bloated and round. The bottom half is a bit harder. It does get uncomfortable at times and I do feel like I have to hide it as not everyone knows I'm pregnant. Apparently it might go away to be replaced by real bump later on!
