Bloating...

[sunshine 11]

Ladies - the bloating is very common in early pregnancy, I have had it really badly with both my pregnancies (I'm a very slight build and looked pregnant from 6-10 weeks until it luckily went away) and apparently it's caused by increasing levels of progesterone slowing down our digestive systems. Hence the bloating which gets worse througout the day, but seems to be 'released' at night

Interesting. I had bloating and serious wind issues in the first trimester with my DD. I couldn't even drink carbonated drinks as it would get worse. It disappeared by about 13/14 weeks. Amazingly it didn't happen when I was pregnant with my DS.
