Bloat or weight gain?

Abby • 33 years old. Married to Eric. Mom to 2 boys that are 3 years old and one year old!

Can bloating add on pounds to the scale or is bloat just something we see physical? I have some how gained like 6 pounds in 3.5 weeks but don’t eat more than normal and probably even less! I’m not a first time mom but I also just seem to remember thinking that I was just gaining a ton of weight with my son and didn’t know anything about bloat. When the bloat gets better will the weight drop any? Thanks!
