For some reason after i eat dinner.. esp. tonight.. my belly becomes soooo tight and FULL! I dont know how to else to explain it.
Do you think this is something due to the pregnancy??

Try eating more frequently but smaller portions.  It will hurt less.  Trust me, one day I ate so much, I thought that I would cause more stretch marks because my stomach felt like it had reached capacity.  I learned not to eat big meals.

I HATE the way I feel after I eat!
I'm so bloated and uncomfortable!

I'm 20w4d and it just started happening to me this past week.
I can't stand it!
