Is severe bloating normal at 5 weeks pregnant??

Question

I’ve been having a difficult time differentiating cramps and abdominal pain/bloating but this is definitely bloating. My belly is extended and severely bloated. Is this normal? I don’t recall this with either of my last 2 pregnancies but it’s been 4 years since I was pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️ If it’s normal, what can I do?

Answer

For sure, very normal. This is only my second pregnancy but my first I had none (well I thought it was some but minimal and not until 10 weeks) and this pregnancy I got my BFP at 5 weeks but a week or so before I literally was googling like “did I develop an allergy” “do I need probiotics” 😂 and had started on a fibre supplement because I was so bloated I was like what is going on this is not normal lol! But I didn’t know I was pregnant. It’s normal and it’s common and as long as you don’t have severe cramping or any bleeding you’re totally fine. Uncomfortable but healthy and fine! Pregnancy hormones are a lot!
