i am 6weeks today, and i am sooo relieved to have read these comments. I have 2 daughter's 11 and 18 and i am 39, i am still trying to absorb the fact that i am pregant until the past couple of days, the symptoms have kicked in REALLY KICKED IN, my boobs hurt so bad, im constipated and i'm so tired i could sleep all day. and i have been so bloated, i look 6months preg. i can't get any of my pants on, i feel so uncomfortable, i sat and cried about it today(yes the mood swings have taken over full throttle!) , and i'v e been  thinking even though i havent been over eating that im gaining weight way to fast i need to quit eating so much. it had me very depressed. glad to hear this is normal and other moms to be have experienced this also. thankyou, it made me feel better. :)

OMG YES!! I am still so bloated at almost 16 weeks. I could pass for 8 months preggo. I hope it goes away but right now it actually feels painful when I get bloated enough!

I am having the same problem, but I am only 4 wks and 5 days. I am so bloated it hurts to breath. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the bloating?

If you look at my pictures you can see how bloated I was at 6 wks I looked huge still do at 12wks now. I just started wearing maternity pants because my jeans are just to uncomfortable with all the bloating I have.

Oh yes!  Definately!  When I was 5 weeks, I looked like I was 12 weeks.  It was all bloating and constipation.  Still look like Im 12 weeks but now I am 7.  I still have bloating but not as bad.  I am pretty petite so its was definately noticable.
