Does the bloating ever go away lol

[therese101]

Well i am now 12w3d into my pregnancy nearing the end of my first trimester, well all of my nausia is completely gone yay. But now the bloating is killing me lol. Is it normal to be so bloated it hurts. Not complaining or anything just hoping it doesnt last the remainder of this pregnancy. I only have bm every 2 - 3 days so i am guessing this is why i am so bloated.

I haven't had my first appointment yet. My first prenatal appointment is March 12th. I'll be 8 weeks then. So I'm not sure what they'll do yet but it'd be nice to have an early u/s!

lol, i liked the nausia, for me it was a 'hey mum im here' reminder. I am glad everything is going well. when do you have your first u/s?

You could ask your doctor about adding Benefiber to some of your foods!

Symptoms are seemingly different everyday. Right now the biggest is having to pee every 5 minutes! No nausea but I never got that until week 8 with my girls. Maybe I'll be lucky and skip the sick part of pregnancy.

Thanks for the info joy, well deff give that a go. How are you going any symptoms yet???

Well... at this point it isn't bloating. It is your uterus and it will get bigger. Definitely should be going #2 more often so try to increase your fiber intake and decrease the foods that "stop you up" like cheese.

I think what you're experiencing is probably constipation. Constipation is not only defined by how hard the stool is but by how often you have a BM.
