Bloating right before bump?

Question

More of a rant - I've been so bloated the past few days (10w5d today), I *almost* thought I was getting my bump. But no. My below-belly-button area is just starting to firm up, it's the rest of my belly that won't cooperate :). I had to give a presentation at work today and brought out the Spanx to avoid suspicion bc I haven't announced yet.

Answer

I'm 10wk 3 d and I have been feeling extremley bloated too ugh!

Answer

I know the feeling. I have been bloated since 10w. I'm 13 now. Bloat has finally disappeared. I looked pregnant up until yesterday. I can feel how high my uterus is, and my belly is firm to the touch but not all that popped out. I also lost 10lbs thanks to nausea. The part that really sucks, is that ppl were starting to notice. Now I'll be looking like prego Houdini lol. The good thing is, we're  going to grow regardless. Less to start with means less stretching??

Answer

I have the same issue! I'll be 14 weeks on Sunday.  And before I got pregnant, it's not like I was big.  I was a size 2/4 and have only gained 5 lbs in my first trimester!  I don't know what's going on but it's comforting to know I'm not alone!
