bloating
I'm so bloated, I look 6 mos. pregnant, but I know my uterus is barely out of my pelvis. Anyone else having problems with bloat, and does it go away? Uncomfortable and insecure.

Oh yes! I moved to maternity pants this week because I felt so big. I did manage to go swimming this morning - really just playing in a pool with my daughter - but I feel better than I have in weeks. I remember just feeling "blah" and "fat" with my first pregnancy until about 14 weeks, then feeling like it subsided a bit after that. Coincidentally, about 14 weeks last time was when my nausea subsided and I was able to get back to a bit of exercise.
The will subside soon keep drinking plenty of water a minimum of five bottle a day. Get your fiber in too.
I was feeling very bloated around 12 weeks but I waited till about 14 weeks before I got into maternity clothes. Ohh I feel real good! It's nice to sit down and not feel like your pants are gonna bust. Now am at 17w and my belly sure is popping out . I didn't think I would should now cause I had a gut already. My little one needs more room to play. Lol
I got some belly bands today! Little better. I'm not quite ready to go maternity shopping yet eek! I admit, I'm bad at drinking water, I need to make it a habit!
on a side note... I don't feel so "round" today. and I was told I don't look it either. so thats good. Drinking more water today I guess. The funny thing is that I was reading and the big fix for it and pretty much everything that was pregnancy related... "drink more water"
the maternity pants are pretty comfy. I know I'm only 14 weeks too but I was finding that I would feel sick from my pants. They were putting pressure on my tummy and apparently baby no likey. as soon as I got different pants I was fine again. the best part is that no one can tell my maternity jeans from my normal ones.
I'm less nauseous than I was, but hoping it completely subsides by 14 weeks. Thanks for the hope steph_ut! Hopefully this bloating will pass too!! UGH My husband rubbed my belly the other night and I snapped at him, because I know it's not baby, just gas. Definitely rounded. I'm trying to hold off as long as possible for maternity clothes....
I told my friend that I was feeling rather bloated and round today and you know what she said..."well you look round today too". I can't believe she said that. anyways yesterday there was no bump there today... all I see is a bump. Crazy!
