Q: Why do I feel so HUGE at 5 weeks!

I am SO bloated. This is my second pregnancy and I didn't get any of this with my first. I'm so bloated I look like I'm 4 months pregnant! I'm a little overweight but I eat healthy and I am pretty active with my son. So, no, I'm not tiny... But I wouldn't consider myself obese or anything. I wear an 8. But my stomach is so ridiculously bloated. It's HUGE! It's completely obvious! I'm terrified of gaining too much weight and being too big. Any help?

I'm 5 weeks pregos too with my 4rth pregnancy. Its just gas and hormones causing the bloating. I too look like I'm already 4 months, but it is temporarily. Try to wear loose clothes to forget about the discomfort

I bloated terribly with my second dc, and even worse with my m/c last year. I had some bloat with this one in my tww, but we weren't ttc, so I thought nothing of it other than, "Wow, I look like I've got a baby bump." I was actually on a pretty strict diet at the time and just felt disheartened because of that. It was literally the next day that I got a bfp. I'm a little bloated, but it's not as bad as my last two pregnancies, yet. I speculate that I'm almost 5 weeks.

I know it is uncomfortable but it is temporary. Once your uterus starts growing the bloating will start going away. This is my 4th pregnancy, this time around I was so bloated I looked 4 months at the beginning but the bloat is wading and I still look about 4 months and I am 13 weeks tomorrow. Sometimes we lose weight towards the end of pregnancy too.

I had the same thing happen around week 5-8, nothing seemed to want to fit, jeans were miserable to wear and I just felt bloated, ALL THE TIME! There wasn't much I did about it except ride it out but it went away Must have just been one of my preggo symptoms because I lost weight in the 1st trimester. I swear my pants fit better now at 22 week then at 8 weeks!
