First trimester bloating

Hi!
currently 11+4 with my first ever pregnancy.
i am so uncomfortable & bloated right up to my boobs.
does this ever go away?
I have a ‘bump’ but I think it’s just mainly bloating and no real bump yet.
obviously I know I’m going to get bigger and bigger but does the painful bloating go down before the ‘bump’ starts?

I feel like I’m just having a really intense period more than anything else.

thank you so much in advance!

It does go down eventually but for me it didn't until 16-18 weeks!

First pregnancy it eventually went down then I actually looked smaller as my baby bump at that stage was smaller than the bloat bump!

Second pregnancy the bloating merged seamlessly into baby bump and there wasn't any gap in between.

It does, but then the feeling is the same because there's an actual baby pressing on your other organs. So all in all being pregnant is uncomfortable and crap.

With my first the bloating went away before my bump started to show. My second pregnancy the bloating was 10 x worse and basically merged with my bump (which also popped ridiculously early!!)
