Soooooo bloated!

[mandspice]

I'm only 5 weeks but I feel at least 12! My stomach is so bloated - do you think this has anything to do with getting pregnant quite quickly again after a previous pregnancy (which ended in miscarriage)...?

it could be hun, i miscarried in april and then fell again in june which i also lost, and with the june pregnancy i was very bloated

I don't think it has anything to do with it although i'm no medic. I was very bloated but no recent m/c (only one 7 years ago)

hope you feel better soon x x x

I'm 5 and a half weeks and sooooo bloated too!! Have had to go and buy bigger trousers! Try and stay clear of too much bread, fizzy drinks and beans! - eases it a bit, and drink lots of water.

hello

from what i've read, the bloating is caused by increased hormone levels. i too am suffering badly. started about 5wks and is ongoing

i try to avoid fizzy juice and bread, because they dont help me at the best of times. Hope you feel better soon, it can be sooooo uncomfortable can't it?

Aw, thanks everyone. I love bread and beans! Also constipated, I suppose this is all linked....Still, shouldn't complain - I got my BFP and symptoms are all worth it

I suffered really bad bloating and constipation during first tri. I have to be honest and say I was miserable with it as I was also neasueous 24/7. I went to see my GP who gave me some Lactulose which made life a bit better all round.

I seemed to expand everywhere but it defo wasn't baby bump, thats only really starting to show now at 18 weeks.
