I’m around 6ish weeks and honestly I look 5 months. The bloat is so bad!
I can’t hide my belly at work and I don’t want spill just yet.
anyone in a similar position? Will it go down soon?

Yep same here. Makes me feel so grotty and my clothes don’t fit.

second pregnancy here… 5-6ish weeks and I am HUGE. I know it’s bloat but it doesn’t necessarily feel tight or painful… making me think I’ve just put in loads of weight in a few weeks 🙃 obviously not but I look around 5m pregnant

I was so painfully bloated in the first 6 weeks. I had to go out and buy new stretchy trousers as I couldn't fit into mine! I thought I was just showing super early but by week 7/8 it had gone and I was back in my usual size. I just spent a couple of weeks wearing baggy jumpers until it went down to avoid anyone guessing too early! Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

I'm 6 weeks tomorrow and the exact same!! I am off work today but honestly dont think I can wear the trousers to work tomorrow that I wore yesterday because they were so tight and made me feel even more sick 🙈 no idea what im going to wear 😅

I’m glad I am not alone, I wear scrubs for work so little room to modify to hide all this bloat. I am quite uncomfortable with it especially in the evenings.
I will check out these teas.
I am taking xonvea to deal with the nausea, so I’m not eating massive amounts anyway.
September feels like years away 😂
