So uncomfortable!!!!

8 Replies

Oh ladies, I'm feeling so uncomfortable..., I'm 12 weeks and so big already... Am so bloated and tender! I can't wear anything right around my belly, and just feel like a frump! I'm in the fat stage....

How long does this last for and when will I start to feel more normal?!

Oh been there Hun, really depends on each person. If your. Bloated try a change in diet, more fruit and fibre and I know doctors say it but plenty of water really does help. Xx

I'm eating do well and have cut out so much. Also never drank so mucher water in my life... Going to explode ;)

Lets hope it eases over next couple of weeks xx

I was sooo bloated from 8-10 weeks pregnant then it was intermittent. I found walking and drinking lots if water helped me, plus reducing the size of each meal but eating more frequently.

It will pass chick, belly bump will start to lift now as baby belly starts to grow. Best think I did was but my 1st pair of mat jeans from H &M after the 12 wk scan! I was gutted to pack the diesals away but these jeans were soooo comfortable and I have not looked back, your baby will appreciate you not having tight clothing on too. My midwife saw me one morning in my work uniform and told me off for the trousers I had on, I was wearing them unzipped but she still said no no no. I am now in full scrubs everyday so it's like going to work in PJ's but much for comfy and again I am already at point where I wonder how long I can wear this size above the bump! I am afraid to try doing the tie up beneath in case they fall down!

I am 20 weeks so within 8 wks girl you may not recognise your former bloated self but its great to have a proper baby bump!

The constipation and bloating will improve but has never fully gone so be mindful about when you are going or before you know it, it's been 3 days and for me that would be aweful. Ready stories on here later on in pregnancy the girls are taking Lactulose to keep them regular!

I hope it gets better for you soon and it will

Ps I am in Surrey currently about 20 mins or so from Woking so PM me if you like, I to will face the joy of moving house whilst pregnant but I have no idea where or when!) xx

H&M maternity jeans from 12 weeks were a god-send. Thought I was never going to feel normal again at that stage - did bloom though, eventually, at 23 weeks, ha!!

H&M maternity jeans are amazing! I feel great again!

I went to a wedding last week and eat so much Haribo(Yes they had a sweet corner) I literally thought I was gonna pop out of my dress. I thought sod it, if I cant enjoy the free champers I will scoff the sweets.
