Bloat and pains

[Snuggle]

Hi all,

My tummy is so bloated I look 6 months PG Is there anything I can do to make my tummy go down a bit? I cant get any clothes done up

Also, today I have had little pains all over my tummy...kind of like the feeling you get when you have trapped wind, is this normal?

Thanks, J xxx

Hey Jools,

5w3d for me too! And I have exactly the same thing! Not quite 6 months, but I definitely look like I'm showing, and I can't be at this stage can I?

It gets worse towards the end of the day. I feel full easily and *TMI* am quite constipated!! Do have this problem aswell? I think that might be the cause of some of the bloating.

Or, we could both be having twins!!

I remember reading somewhere a distended bowel (mmm lovely) is usually the cause of a 'bump' in the first tri.

Welcome to nine months of digestive upheavel ladies!

Oh KJ dont say that...twins run in my family

I have those exact feelings...feel really full and constipated at end of day. I'm really tired in afternoon but wide awake at night

I have heartburn too but not really bad

Do you think we worry too much

Hi nikkif,

Its great that there are a few of us at the same stage of pregnancy so we can reassure each other of all these symptoms

Hey preggie buddies!

Glad to hear we're all experiencing similar symptoms, can only mean it's normal right?

I'm really excited cause I've had a phonecall today to say my midwife appointment is this friday at 10.30am!! It's made me feel so much better just knowing that I'm seeing someone soon. Then she can get my dating scan sorted out so hopefully I'll see our little bean soon!!

I'm only 5 weeks & 3 days but my stomach is certainly visible. It's making it rather difficult to dress as most of my trousers won't do up .

Also feeling very queasy almost all of the time. I didn't realise I would feel so rough in the early stages.

I had trapped wind and bloating from about week 5 to 14 - It is easing up now. I found fizzy water helped although it seems like completely the wrong thing to do, but maybe it gets the other wind moving and it all comes out together . I could only wear clothes which were big on me before because any tightness made me feel ill, and live in jogging pants at home. I also found if you lie on your knees with your bum up and your head down, it was more comfortable - although you look very bizarre. I started my pilates in pregnancy class yesterday and this was the "relaxation" position!!

I am so glad I am not the only one! For the past week I have been so constipated and have really bad tummy ache and heartburn to top it all off and I have been feeling pretty sorry for myself! I am 5 weeks pregnant and didn't ever think I would feel like this so early on!
