5 and a half weeks pregnant and mega bloated and huge! Anyone else?

[ilikeyoursleeves]

Yikes I look about 4 months pregnant already! I feel so bloated, my tummy keeps gurgling all the time after I have eaten, and I am so windy that I don't care any more how much I am farting in front of DH!

I am going to have to go shopping tomorrow for baggy clothes as I don't want to tell work yet (til at least new year) and I'm usually a size 10 ish and wear tightish clothes so they'll be able to see a belly that wasn't there last week!

Is it just me or is anyone else seriously windy and huge?

Me especially tonight, givin DP a run for his money! As soon as I found out my belly seemed to pop out. I can't fasten my jeans anymore without it being really uncomfortable but I refuse to give into maternity/bigger clothes at only 8 weeks - so I loop a bobble around the button and through the hole which people find quite amusing when they notice

me too (5 and a bit weeks)

DP keeps rubbing my stomach lovingly and I'm like hmmmmmmmmm it's just fat / bloating at the moment dear!

Me too, I have a mammoth appetite with this one, when I pg with DD you couldn't tell till I was about 25 weeks gone, I am now 6-7 weeks gone and I have had to dig out my maternity clothes already My other clothes are just too tight and uncomfortable.

I cant stop eating I am so hungry all the time, and no morning sickness either, with DD I had really bad ms and then just not wanting to eat.

Hahahaha, Zorra, your comment did make me laugh! I'm exactly the same. DH seems obsessed with my muffin top which he constantly talks to and kisses thinking it's the first sign of the baby. If only he knew he was talking to a thick layer of chocolate, crisps and wind!

i'm well over half way now but I bloated straight away and had a little belly. don't worry too much it'll get much much bigger.

I started bloating in about my 6th week. Felt like I was 4 months pregnant also. I am 8+5 now and can barely fit any of my clothes

And yip, I have wind. So awful.

aaaaahhh - i am so hppy to read this thread...i thought i was alone with this.!!

hi im just on to warn you, i was like that with my last pregnancy ,it was twins!!!!! good luck girls

And last night from 5pm - 3am I was really sick, diarrohea (TMI, apologies) Am hoping it was a quick bug and not something I can expect on a regular basis... I feel fine today, just a bit achey

Dsrplus 8 - don't say that! Twins run in both mine and DP's family...

OMG zorra! bet you its triplets then !!!!! congratulations by the way!!!(are the twins monozigotic or dizygotic? , i think the non identicals "run" through the womans family and the identicals are more likely from the mans side (something to do with sperm and egg splitting)

er i ment the twins in both your families,(just read what i typed and came over different)ooops!

Non-identicals on both sides...

ooooh , on the plus side ,if u are having twins ,theres only one labour( you dont feel the second baby as your still numb from the first)and you get a fab BOGOF!let us know what your having when u get your scan(how many?)oh just so you know, it IS POSSIBLE TO GET PREGNANT WHILST PREGNANT! my twins are a couple of weeks difference in age from my first scan, aparently i was already pregnant with ds4 when i conceived dd4.i had them at 36 weeks dd4 was really 34 weeks and was less developed than ds4(her hands and feet were still folded and she needed help breathing,and feeding,and a lot smaller!

Ooh twins, my auntie emailed me to say that in her horroscopes it said that someone who she was close to will find out that they are having twins

I have non identical twins running through my family and DH has identical twins running through his family. Does that make it more likely?

yes!!!
