First trimester bloating

Hi everyone
I am about 6 weeks and half through my first trimester. Unlike my previous pregnancies (boys) I am feeling awful, morning sickness for the first time ever but most of all....the bloat!!

I look about 7-8 months gone some afternoons. So far I have caught a couple of people looking at my tummy and I am glad that I only have to be in the office 1-2 days a week or else it would be far harder to hide

Anyone else in this position right now?
Xx

🙋🏻‍♀️ @chickendoodoo I'm like a baby whale.

Two stone bigger than I was when got pregnant with DS who's now nearly five and it appears my tummy muscles have literally just disappeared. I'm fine before eating anything and then it all just puffs up...

I am also two stone bigger, although my last 'baby' is 3 and a half! I am a bit worried about weight gain. Tempted to start slimming world on Monday but I am hoping this bloat will go down at some point 😫

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm showing/extremely bloated from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. Only 7 weeks but I'm already having to wear clothes to cover up!

Weirdly I had this too. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and I’d say between then and say 11 weeks I was really bloated. It then just subsided and went away and I looked ‘normal’ again until my bump developed properly later. Even now I’m 32 weeks and small bump I looked bigger back at the start. You might find it goes down, prob just some initial water retention

Oh I hope so! Can I ask what week your bloat went down? I also weigh 5lbs more already - that HAS to be water weight because I've actually been good and minus the wine calories etc too!
