Is constant bloating at 6 weeks normal?

[Scout182]

I'm anxiously waiting for my viability scan on 9th August, and I'm 6 weeks today. I haven't been having many symptoms apart from tiredness, but I have had constant bloating for the last few days. I've been on progesterone pessaries since a few days before ET, so wondering if it's this? Is it normal to have so much bloating? I can't wear any of my jeans and I have to wear very baggy dresses so I don't look pregnant as I don't want everyone to know at this stage. Just worried there's something wrong.

I was absolutely enormous - I was bloated anyway from the progesterone but it went into overdrive from BFP. We had to tell people early as it was so obvious - I didn't really change size from then until 5months pregnant and I had a big baby so that may give you an idea I also received very helpful comments about how I must be at least a couple of months ahead and/or having twins. I just started wearing maternity clothes early - much comfier. I did ask at my scans if everything was ok and I was worried about too much fluid etc but everything was fine, so maybe just something to keep an eye on but hopefully all ok.

Thank you! That's really helpful to know. I'll mention it at the scan- though it is very obvious! Thanks 🙂

I am at a similar stage to you and feel exactly the same, really bloated and looking like I have a bump which I am trying to hide x
