Eight weeks and so uncomfortable

Hi Ladies, I am only eight weeks pregnant but I am so uncomfortable. My stomach feels so bloated all of the time. I can't sit still or lie down, I really thought this was only a problem for women who are a lot further along?

I feel the same, apparently according to my sister who's had 4 children says it gets better by week 12, only 4 wks to go ! Then the last 3 months are as uncomfortable! Xx

Hi there! First of all, congratulations! Secondly, stay strong! I was just the same as you at 8weeks. My bloating was so bad that I already looked about 4months pregnant and had to tell most people early. Now I'm 17weeks, and look no bigger than I did at 8weeks, only now its a bump and not just gas!! I'm much more comfortable now than I was. I find eating little and often helps a lot. It helps mainly, as if you're not starving, you will avoid pigging out on a huge main meal. If I eat (still now) a normal portion of food at dinner, I feel like I've eaten Christmas Dinner, I'm so uncomfortably full. I try to take healthy snacks to work and eat almost all day long, just grazing. I'll still eat lunch and dinner, just a half sized portion. Good luck!

I'm 8 weeks and 4 days and constipation has hit me. find drinking orange juice and eating prunes (although grose) seems to help a little.
