6 weeks and bloated  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I am 6 weeks. Woo hoo. I have felt bloated and gassy for weeks. I can't pinpoint it to any specific foods, just feel that way most of the day and definately worse in the evening. I also feel 'pressure'.......like my bladder is full but more of a pressure feeling than an "I have to pee feeling". I guess this is all normal.

Well, the bloated feeling has me wearing elastic waist shorts all the time. I did not intend to buy any summer maternity clothes, as I didn't wear any until I was 5 months last time around. When I look at my body, I don't see a belly showing, but I must be changing in proportions or something cause my shorts are sure tight!

At night too, sometimes when I roll over, it feels painful in the abdomen. I don't know if it's bladder pressure, gas or what. I am starting to wondering if I should go get checked or if this is all just part of the changes.

I mainly just came to vent......hope you all don't mind. Oh, and I have been soooo tired. Just hit me about 4 days ago. I actually nap when my daughter does now! If I don't, I can't stay awake late enough at night to put her to bed!

And my poor DH......I have been so short and bitchy to him! I just don't feel up to being happy.......I had to return something to the mall today and it was such an effort to even smile at people. I don't feel depressed, but I just don't feel happy either. I think I am just too tired!

Anybody else with me?

I am gassy and bloated too, Shari -- lots of water retention especially in the evening! I feel very lucky I'm not working right now (summers off) because I am so pooped every day after doing... NOTHING!

*hugs* and hang in there -- it will pass!
