Bloat or fat???

Everyday around this time my stomach blows up to extreme proportions....I mean extreme!!!!!...I feel hugeeeee and I am only 10 weeks....and it feels so hard when I touch it....


Is this normal to be so bloated like this everyday??

Re: Bloat or fat???

Bloating is very normal at this point. In the morning my stomach would be flat. By the afternoon I would need to unbutton my pants at my desk. The bella band was gret for this stage.

Re: Bloat or fat???

I am feeling the same way these days. In the morning my pants fit, by this time in the afternoon I am sitting here with my pants unbutton and in extreme discomfort. I feel like this shouldn't be happening this early, I'm only 6 weeks, 4 days. I think I might have to buy a size bigger jeans this weekend.

Re: Bloat or fat???

Ugh the bloating for me was awful! so much so that i had to buy maternity clothes early on and i wasn't showing at all otherwise.

19 weeks later and i still have tons of bloating!

Re: Bloat or fat???

oh def bloat. I felt like that for a while and eventually ur belly will become rounded off and the bloat will stay there

Re: Bloat or fat???

thank goodness, i thought i was crazy! in the morning my belly is nice and flat and by afternoon I look like I am 6 mos!

Re: Bloat or fat???

I know!!!! And when my mom sees me at night she gasps and giggles at my belly, I'm like Mom, it's bloat, don't get so excited

Re: Bloat or fat???

I had a lot of bloating in the beginning. If it is there in the mornin gthen it is most likely a baby bump, not bloat!

Re: Bloat or fat???

I had horrible bloating at 5-6 weeks.... I had to wear my 1 pair of maternity pants, since my jeans were too uncomfy.

Now that I'm 7 weeks 4 days, the bloat has strangely subsided a bit. I can wear my jeans again. I don't understand it at all...

Re: Bloat or fat???

Yup, totally normal, sometimes it wil lgo down before you really start showing, for me it never did...I remember thinknig here I come maternity pants because even buttoning my pants became a nightmare and if I could was SOOOO uncomfortable. Enjoy...means your baby is growing :)

Re: Bloat or fat???

I get like this at night. I'm 10w4d. I feel smaller in the morning but then as the day goes on I start feeling bigger and bigger. By the time I'm home at night, I look like I'm 6 months pregnant. Thank god for elastic pajama pants!!!

Re: Bloat or fat???

I get this way too though sometimes I think my body is messing with me. I thought that all of the extra skin I had from a big weight loss would make it so I would take that much longer to actually LOOK pregnant. But today, as I just hit 12 weeks, there was no mistaking it. Yesterday, however, it could have gone either way.
