I have been bloated from about 6 weeks which I know is normal, however since I have reached 9 weeks…

my belly does this aswel, it didn't happen in my other two pregnancies. I think it's just bloating because if I'm sick after it goes down xx

Oh alright, is there any other way it goes down apart from being sick? As I'm only nauseous I never actually be sick and it's very uncomfortable @Zaralee71 xx

I have no idea I'm afraid. When I get it and I don't need to be sick I just have to sit it out and wait for it to go down. I know its horrible xx

Aww no problem then Hun thanks @zaralee71 I'll just have to hope it goes soon x

Sounds like your uterus has grown, maybe a bit of bloating on top but both totally normal xx

Thanks Hun my stomach is bigger just wasn't sure if it was due to my uterus as I know it's tucked away until about 12 weeks however I have one child but this is my 5th time being pregnant so maybe it's grown so much because of that @emmajo x

When you've had one child already your uterus doesn't shrink right back to pre pregnancy, so that maybe another factor as to why sooner than the advice you're given with a first pregnancy so good chance it's due to that with the added bloating too.. The bloating should die down soon and it will all be baby growing :) xx

Well I can't wait till it's all baby I've lost 10lbs since being pregnant and still have a massive belly lol I wouldn't mind if it was all baby @emmajo xx

Awe bless I've lost a few lbs too from severe nausea so know how you feel.. It won't be long though :) looks like we're due around the same time too! xx

Yea we are mines due 7th of August 😊. That's what I'm suffering from now, has your nausea stopped now? If so how many weeks was you? I can hardly look at food or smell it let alone eat it. I didn't have nothing like this with my first I was hoping it would be the same lol @emmajo

Awe my first was a breeze compared. My nausea has had me crippled and bed bound some days.. I'm 10+2 and I'm still suffering.. It's died down a bit but still suffering.. You never know you may just wake up and it's vanished :) I find my nausea is usually because I have an empty stomach so I try to sip some milk or a yogurt drink to settle my stomach before attempting to eat.. Have you spoken to your midwife about it? Are you able to get some anti sickness tablets? Or have you tried one of those Sea Bands? Xx

Yea Hun I'm on sickness tablets the first ones I had didn't work but the ones I'm on help me through the day so I'm grateful lol. I tried eating and drinking as I thought it was because I was hungry but it didn't help. Oh and yes I spoke to her though she didn't seem concerned. She just said that the baby will take all it needs from me. I hope ur sickness goes soon it's so horrible having to stay in bed especially when you have a child to care for. I hope I wake up one day and it's gone lol tbh it gives me hope that the baby is alive until I have my 12 week scan because my pregnancies are high risk other than my son I have never reached this far 🙂 @emmajo

Awe bless you, it's definitely reassuring! And I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes really well for you :) awe thank you, I hope so too.. Glad the tablets are helping you too :) xx

Aww thanks Hun I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well also 😊 xx

@emmajo,

Awe thank you, so far so good :) xx
