Who is Bloated?

[HisBeautifulWife]

I've been hanging out in the March DDC but I think I belong over here.

So who else is bloated?

I just have this big, bloat, of a stomach and it's kind of uncomfortable. My fat jeans are feeling tight around my belly.

I want to drink more water but I don't want to increase my "full" feeling.

[Plarka]

Yuck, me too. I hardly drink any water because just like you said, I don't want to feel more full or uncomfortable! I need to force myself to drink it. As I said in another thread I just started, I feel like someone has pumped my belly up with an air pump. I'm only 9.5 weeks, what are you?

[HisBeautifulWife]

I'm 4 weeks and that's just how I feel.

If you bump into me too hard I might just POP!

Someone answered my thread and said regular over the counter Gas X works wonders. So I guess we're allowed to take stuff like that? I want something to work wonders!!! I'll send my husband out to find me something that doesn't say pregnant women can't use it, I guess.

I am SO bloated. I am accustomed to a relatively flat tummy, so this is odd. I haven't started a pregnancy this fit and thin since my 1st. (and this is #5)

I wasn't bloated until today! I started out on the "fat day" notch in my belt, and now my belt has been abandoned altogether. I'm happy my parents want a trip to the local outlets this weekend -- I'm hoping to score some maternity shorts!

I'm quite bloated, to the point where I think I need to share the news with family before they guess! I'm fairly thin and tall, and I can't hide this pudgyness.. it hurts to suck it in all day! I'm barely 6 weeks.

Count me in. I remember being so excited my first pregnancy, sure I was showing already, .

This is me to a T (though it's #4 for me). I almost thought that my family was looking at me odd this weekend at a family picnic because of my belly (we haven't share the news and my shirt was a bit fitted). I hate being bloated.

I am also feeling bloated. I said to my DH this afternoon, either I'm starting to show, gaining weight, or bloated. I've also been very gassy. Is anyone else experiencing that? I'm 5 weeks.

[finn'smama]

Yup, gassy and bloated here too.

[momz3]

Oh Lord, YES. Gassy, bloated and constipated! I went to the er for back pain (afraid of ectopic) so I had them check me. All looked good, although the pregnancy was too early to see a baby, but my tubes and ovaries were fine and looked normal. Anyway, the tech was like "You have ALOT of poop."
Turns out, constipation can cause back pain. They couldn't really give me anything, so I have just been drinking milk and tons of water and trying to have fiber rich foods today. And I did poop and whadya know, RELIEF !

Yup. I will be 5 weeks Tuesday but I have been gassy before I knew I was pg. In fact, that was a sign for me. My husband thought I was "showing" lol. I'm pretty small (5'2" 117) so if I'm bloated, you can tell! Its just gas and poop.

[momma2girls]

i am very bloated. it is ridiculous. I was like this the last time around also

[SuzieQ3417]

I'm also bloated - mine is more due to constipation rather than gas. I've upped my water intake which seemed to help, and I also ordered some ginger tea which is supposed to help with nausea and constipation. I'll let you all know whether or not it works - it's supposed to arrive sometime this week.
