Got a positive test and now 6 weeks and bloated!

[Luamber]

Hi all

I was so incredibly lucky and got a positive pregnancy test after my first round of IVF.

Tomorrow I’m 6 weeks - I have my first scan with the clinic next week.

Of course I’m very nervous and looking out for symptoms all of the time!

Today I have been extremely bloated! Incredibly uncomfortable with it too.

Is this something to be worried about or is it just one of our many symptoms?!?

Baby dust to all xx

One of the many symptoms!! I usually get the bloating when I’ve eaten too much in one sitting. So I now spread my meals over the whole day. Eat little and often ! X

Thank you so much for your response, congratulations to you.

I shall just do little and often from now on! X

Congrats! Best of luck with your scan. I got very bloated too, so this is normal & possibly side effect of the progesterone. Xx

Thank you - congrats to you too!

Ah I’m pleased it is classed as normal, today was particularly uncomfortable!

With progesterone levels due to only rise, I think I need to break out the elasticated waste clothing! X

congratulations! I was very bloated till about 12 weeks. So, it is once of the early pregnancy symptoms. Cheers
