Bloating Posted: 02-25-06 22:14pm
I am almost 13 weeks, and I am so bloated.
Does anybody else have/has anyone else
had this problem? Some of my pants are
really uncomfortable, and I just feel like
i'm way too big for how far along I am. I
mean, I know i'm not really going to be
showing at this point.
I am naturally not a small girl, but this
is ridiculous. I haven't weighed myself
since my last appointment a few weeks ago,
but at that point I had only gained one
pound. I'm eating better since getting
pregnant instead of worse, and I don't
feel like i'm eating more than usual. So
I don't think it's weight gain, I think
it's just bloating.

Hi lalee I also went thru that stage for
me its perfectly normal as long as you
wont feel extremes such as extreme
tiredness etc. Hopefully its goona go
soon as you're in you're early 2nd
trimester as soon as you feel the pregnancy
glow you wont be bothered anymore
:d although I can't say that things would
be alot eaiser lol (that's the perks)
:d just make sure little one's getting
the right nutrients and eat smaller
amounts of meals per day but in the
interval of 3 hours to avoid bloatedness

Do you look bloated in your belly??? I
know that I didn't really show but it
seemed that I was getting fatter hips and
butt and thighs this made it hard to fit
into my pants. Then my belly started
growing and I think I am doing pretty good
now, don't worry every body has different
changes, as long as you are feeling
healthy.

Make sure that you are drinking more water
than you would think is necessary or
needed. That is the best way to help get
the bloating down, also make sure that you
are laying down with your feet elevated 6
to 8 inches. You may find it more
comfortable to put the pillow under your
knees.
Bloating is normal and preganancy is
horribly uncomfortable, (i am a guy so I
cannot say it from firsthand experience
but watching other ladies and my own wife
is enough to know it is not commfy) but
with some added care for yourself, you can
make it a bit better. If you feel tired,
lay down if you are sore, get in a warm
tub and relax.
You will only be pregnant a couple times
in life, try to make it the best
experience you can and if someone wants to
pamper you, let them and enjoy it. You
deserve it, you have a long tough road
ahead and pampering fo mom doesnt happen
enough as it is.
Good luck,
brian

Thanks everyone. I think I was just
feeling a little more baloonish yesterday
than most days and I was kinda down. Lol
I do feel better today, though still a tad
bloated. I am trying to drink as much
water as possible.
Tama, I am really comfortable laying on my
back to watch tv or something, and I
usually put my feet on the arm of the
couch. It's odd that I do that but didn't
know I should. Another odd, related
thing: I naturally have always slept on my
left side with a pillow between my knees
(my hips will hurt the next day without
the pillow), and that's supposedly the
best position for the baby. Weird.
Anyway, thanks for the encouragement,
guys!

You usually feel bloated/lots of gas
around 3-4 months it usually dissapears
around 5-6 months the bloating is normal
and its painful from gas I know it sucks
but its something u just have to live with
next it will be heartburn woohoo dont
worry u get a big reward out of it
although its just a pain in the @ss
