I have heard this to be a very common symptom of early pregnancy. Women feel as though they are almost already showing in the early weeks because of the bloating. Drink plenty of water and Congrats!!
Yes, during both of my PGs I was very bloated in the beginning. It ***** because you don't look PG at all, just looks like you have a gut.
Congrats on your PG
I am so bloated too. I actually look like I have a baby bump, which of course is impossible at 5 weeks. I am fairly certain it's normal. Did you get your HCG test yet?
Me too! I'm only 9 weeks, but I'm already using the rubber-band trick on my pants! I also ended up getting a few new shirts this past weekend two sizes bigger than normal...just to hide my bloated tummy.
Seriously, I already look five months pregnant! LOL!
