Yall this can’t be a bump right ? Probably just bloating at 11 weeks 3 days? I’m a super small petite person like I weighed 112-116 all through October so I’m naturally skinny w a pretty flat tummy. And I really can’t tell if this is bloating or what. My stomach hasn’t looked this big with bloating yet tho😅🥲 opinions?

Bloating, a pregnancy symptom
Bloating
No one likes to feel this feeling but this is when your abdomen feels full, tight, and swollen due to gas buildup and other digestive issues.
Is it normal?
It is a common and normal part of your pregnancy adventure.
This will be something you may feel at any stage of your pregnancy, whether beginning or in the end.
Just know that many mamas go through it too!
Prevent and care
Bloating is a common symptom during pregnancy, caused by hormonal changes and digestive issues.
Proper management of bloating is essential to avoid discomfort and potential complications.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, which can help to regulate digestion.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals to ease the digestive process.
- Avoid high-sodium foods and carbonated drinks, as they can contribute to bloating.
I recommend avoiding overly processed and high-sodium foods, as they can exacerbate the issue. Also, gentle walking after meals can aid digestion and reduce bloating.

8 weeks and I feel like the bloating has gotten a little better!! Still constipated AF!
Tara
With the constipation I just make sure I have apples, pears, plumbs very often helps a lot. eat as much fruit and veggies as you can they are a life saver when it’s comes to being regular. Just be careful some veggies make you gassy
