Hey guys how is everyone?? I just have a question..i am 9 weeks preg and i am feeling soooo bloated i know that this is common but is there anything to do to make it feel a little less bloated?? i work 2 days a week doing 9-6 and my 6 my belly is soo sore should i cut back my hours in the day??or is that normal? i just need someone to help me out a bit, i feel like i am already 5 months preg and its soo uncomfortable lol any comments would be helpful thanks
i think it is quite normal, i was also pretty bloated at the start... up your water intake, that helped me but i think it is one of those unfortunate things we have to put up with... good luck with your pregnancy!
Yep I have major bloating. Mum says I already have a Belly! LOL... A lot of my weight has shifted from my sides to the front... I just drink a lot of water and try and stay away from carbs (but that hasn't worked so well LOL)
I also have the same - I'm 10 weeks - and it started at about 8 weeks. I find it worse in the afternoon, and my stomach just balloons out. Really uncomfortable, and I've taken to wearing suits to work (no-one knows yet) because when I bloat out I look very pregnant so I need something to hide it. Day starts off fine, but gets worse in the afternoon.
I haven't really been able to pinpoint why. Sometimes I've had a fizzy drink at lunch which may contribute. Other than that - usually have a sandwich. I had been having a latte in the morning, and wondered if the milk was setting me off - I've stopped that recently and it may have eased it a bit. I'll start to try to drink more water.
I've been experiencing the same but I just put it down to being constipated (sorry TMI!). In the afternoon my work uniform starts getting really uncomforable - I'm sure everybody must be thinking "geez she's really stacked on the kgs" lol - i'm looking forward to announcing it so i don't feel so self concious about it!
I've ballooned too and I'm only around 6-7 weeks at this stage - I can't believe it. We have a little chant at work for me...fatty fatty two by four, can't fit through the office door...all in good fun though.
I thought I was the only one!! Yep, I'm 9 weeks and 4 days and the bloating started about 1.5 weeks ago. I'm not constipated though and I drink heaps of water so they cant be the reasons. I'm just lucky winter has arrived so I can wear lots of jumpers and long shirts to work without people wondering why. I went to the markets yesterday and actually wore a maternity shirt and it was such a relief to be able to walk around and not trying to breathe my tummy in.
Hi there, i'm experiencing the same and am too not constipated (yet!). I find by 2.00pm my stomach is so swollen I have to undo my work pants and belt! Im at my desk most of the day so I can hide it but when Im standing at the photocopyier im getting strange looks! I can't wait until my belly is totally out there so I dont have to worry about hiding it but it makes it hard when trying to keep quiet. My 12wk scan is next Wed so hopefully I can tell everyone on Thursday and stop the is she isnt she..!
(especially as I have pay reviews next week and want to get through them first!!)
im around 5 -6 weeks and this is my second pregnancy and i am feeling so bloated lately!!!!! its so uncomfy!!! my boobs are quite big (always have been) buts its become so uncomfy i already need to take my bra off at home to relax on the couch. with my first pregnancy this didnt happen till atleast the 7 month mark
I think the bloating is a sign that constipation (and loads of gas) is heading your way - but i am sure it is there by now. I started drinking prune juice to make sure i am regular - i am very very gassy too at the moment (TMI i know) - but you have to get it out !!! LOL
