Bad bloating at almost 14 weeks

Hi everyone

I'm almost 14 weeks pregnant and I have seriously bad bloating. My stomach looks like I'm close to 6 months pregnant. It feels extremely tight and I have awful heartburn all the time and nausea. I'm taking gaviscon for heartburn and nothing seems to be working. Really praying I'm not going to be like this the whole time. I was never this bad in my last 2 pregnancies. Wondering if anyone here had the same experience and had any tips cause it's so uncomfortable. TIA

Sounds very similar to me at only 10 weeks !! The joys of pregnancy!

I was the same until around week 15-16 when the bloating/acid suddenly went away and never returned that bad. If Gaviscon isn’t helping, there are meds GP can give you for heartburn - many find them a life saviour

I had extreme bloating from 4 weeks. My midwife thought she’d mixed me up with her 7 months pregnant lady at my 8 week appointment because it was that bad. It’s never really went down, just eventually turned into a baby bump. My daughter has just turned two and I still have bloating so bad that I’ve had several people ask if I’m pregnant.
