Bloated in first trimester. Does it magically drop off soon?

[HiddenInCubeOfCheese]

So, it’s Week 9 in the pregnancy Big Brother house, and it’s my first.

I’m normally a fit, active and slim person. However; the last few weeks I am water-logged, look about 20 weeks in the stomach, feel loose and flabby. I’ve gained probably about 4-5kgs already. Whilst I’m not eating as cleanly as I did before, I’m hardly a dustbin.

Is this going to go away?! Or is it just a heater-skelter worsening situation for the next 31 weeks?

Wrong topic! Have reported myself

I'm expecting number 2 awful bloating around 9 weeks went by 11 weeks no bump at 14 weeks arrived overnight at 14+3!
I can't remember bloating with my first but I did lose over half a stone and looked the same as before so possibly the weight loss masked the bloat. The bump was a more gradual appearance between 15 and 19 weeks.

Yes! Awful awful bloating between 7-11 weeks. Itll just disappear. I was the same size at 20 weeks as I was at 7 weeks!

Thank you - reassuring to hear. I’m already running out of things to wear, and this week’s heatwave coupled with my sweatfest levels has me less than enthused

I found taking Fybrogel one or two times a day helped with bloating during by first pregnancy.

16 weeks tomorrow and the bloat is still going strong.

Am 5 weeks and already had to buy trousers the size above due to bloating! My stomach, hips, thighs and boobs have it worst - am petite too so it’s obvious. Wish it was still winter so I could hide in baggy jumpers and leggings. Put on 3kg in just water weight in a week because im eating less than before as not much appetite! Glad it’s not just me.
