Kinda Personal Question

I am officially 11 weeks as of yesterday and I am wondering when the horrible bloaty feeling will go away. I wake up in the morning and my stomach looks flat and 'almost' skinny. By three o'clock I look five months pregnant.. I don't get it?? Is there something you girls can tell me take to cut back on the gasy bloatness.. (if that is even a word)..

I actually bought myself two pairs of maternity pants today to deal with my big stomach at the end of the day. Isn't way to early to be in maternity pants??

Thanks for any help or advise..

Hum....I don't personally have experience with this issue as my belly was big all darn day long. It could be that you just 'feel' smaller in the morning. I was in a larger size jeans at 9 weeks or so.

Re: Kinda Personal Question

meet your twin Shamma. The book says that due to the slowing down on the digestive process this will happen, they say to try to get more water, fresh fruits and vegetables. It is the most umcomfortable thing, I feel like I am 500 mos preggo I hate bloating. It comes with the territory

Re: Kinda Personal Question

kim ... I bought some bigger pants pretty soon after I found out that I was pg. By the end of my first tri I wasn't showing, but definitely feeling 'rounder'. 11 weeks may be a little early for maternity, but its not like you won't use them eventually! Maybe some stretchie pants would be more comfy & let you breathe a little better.

Good luck & wanted to send you a ... your wedding is really close!

Christine it is bad enough that today all I could think of was every elastic waist pants I have in my closet

Re: Kinda Personal Question

Don't worry! I'm 11 1/2 weeks pregnant and have been complaining about the same thing. I definitely have to go shopping this weekend for maternity clothes or I won't fit into anything. It's strange how we can wake up skinny and look so different later on, the only difference with us is I feel like I look 9 months pregnant in the afternoon! Just enjoy it.

Re: Kinda Personal Question

This happened to me! I was a skinny minny flat belly in the am and a fat preggie by 5! It will pass in a few weeks...then you'll just be a fat preggie all the time.....

Gas is a big part of pregnancy unfortunately. Just stay away from the basics that would make you normally gassy, but it won't relieve it 100%. Your systems digestion is all new now!

Re: Kinda Personal Question

Well at least I am not all alone feeling like this. Here it is at 7:15 am and I can fit into my normal pants without any problem.. but I know by the end of the day I will have to secretly walk around with the top open to release some of the belly so it can breathe.. hahah..

And I swear it is all food that does this to me.. at first I thought it was because I always ate too much salad.. so I cut it out to see.. nope.. it is any food greup.

Are over the counter medicine safe to take for gas though?? I have to ask my doctor.. (another question to write down to ask him)

Thanks,
Kim

Re: Kinda Personal Question

This happens to me too. I would try to stay away from gassy vegetables... Nothing helped me my doc even said I could take mylanta in moderatin but it didn't help so I stopped... At night I look like a May belly

Re: Kinda Personal Question

YES me too im 11 wks and Ive havent been able to close my pants since 9wks i wear maternity shirts to cover my tummy!!

Re: Kinda Personal Question

I have had the same problem and it is still happening, I'm 16 weeks now. I have had to wear maternity pants since 9 weeks because I work until 9 PM twice a week, and I'm like 7 months preggo at night.

Re: Kinda Personal Question

maternity JEANS are the only maternity clothes I wear so far all my stuff fit but the jeans
they just felt too tight
I dont think its too early.....

Re: Kinda Personal Question

I don't remember when that went away but I remember waking up with a flat belly and then once I ate, my belly would get big. This would happen throughout the day. It was very strange.
