Hi,

I am currently 8 1/2 weeks pregnant ( 1st bub) and although there is no way I could be showing due to the size of the baby, I have been feeling really bloated and even look really bloated in the stomach area.
Has anyone else experienced this? I am a little worried thinking that if I am bloated and looking fat now... imagine what I am going to look like once the baby starts getting bigger!
I would love to hear from anyone else who has experienced this.

Dont worry! I also felt bloated in the early days of my pregnancy. Every woman 'shows' differently and at different stages, so dont feel funny about it.
I ended up eliminating wheat from my diet as I found that contributed to me bloating - once I did that I felt far less bloated, and I had less morning sickness.

Good Luck! :)

and/or the swellings are caused by hormones that also cause premenstrual water retention, nothing to worry drinks heaps of water-these stuff are some of the symptoms of early pregnancy ,...but if you 'worried' ask your doc...

Im pregnant with my second babe (7 weeks) and im feeling very bloated, its the feeling you get after you have eaten a big meal, except i havent! I feel it all the time and i cant remember feeling like this with my first babe.But dont stress i guess its a normal thing, just another glamorous sign of motherhood! Hope everything else is going well. :)
