Anyone else here get ridiculously bloated early on?

I'm only about 5 weeks pregnant and I am not constipated but already look like a beached whale ;)

Thanks for the feedback ladies.

I guess we just have to be patient and ride it out..But I have to say I am already impressed at how quickly your body starts changing!!

Thank god for yoga pants and dresses :)

Remember your uterus swells immensely in early weeks. I remember looking at myself in the mirror and thinking "Omg  if I'm this puffed up noe, I'm going to be huge" it eventually went down around week 10.....just to come back later as a bump (:

I'm so glad you posted this because I'm 7 weeks pregnant and my friend is 6 and we were both concerned with how big our belly's look so far! Were both pretty thin usually and we probably look like were about 3-4 months pregnant just because of bloating! We've had a lot of friends that have had babies last year and they all said they didn't show for at least 4 months!

I just posted this exact same question! I am bloated to high heaven and it's very uncomfy. I have to wear yoga pants all the time and even those are pinching my tummy a lot. very frustrated since the baby is soooooo tiny!  lol. hopefully it will go away soon and a real belly will start to show! good luck!!

Yessss... I am about to be 7 weeks.. My only major symptom is bloating. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and I was so bloated. Thought it was gas but it never went away. From my understanding that's pregnancy!!

I'm 7 weeks and I'm super bloated. I've already got where I can't wear my normal size pants without getting squeezed and being uncomfortable.

I was sooooo bloated from 5 weeks until almost 15 weeks! I didn't have much of a break though, as that went down I got my baby bump. It feels MUCH better than being bloated though. Hope yours ends sooner
