Bloat bump and baby bump..

[ExpectingK]

Hello

I'm beginning to get told that I'm 'showing', however I continually point out that its bloat. I have a very tiny baby bump which just about reaches the top of my knicker line, so I can't show people to prove my point!

I was hoping the bloat would have settled by now, but its as bad as ever, so much so that I wore by first pair of stretchy maternity trousers yesterday so I could comfortably let it all hang out.

Can anyone tell me when the bloat is likely to improve, or will it just become my baby in time? Oh, I have tried adjusting my diet and it doesn't make any difference......

Any help aprpeciated.

Many thanks

16 - 17 weeks mine changed quite noticeably to baby rather than bloat, increasing all the time

I agree - I still have a considerable amount of bloating which does make me look bigger when it's really swollen but since 16 ish weeks it has definitely become more of a baby bump.

Oh and I had the same thing around 12-15 weeks. Nobody would believe me when I was saying it was mostly gas. I don't think there is anything much you can do to prevent it as it seems to be hormone related although if you get constipated you will feel more bloated and uncomfortable so if you can keep on top of that side of things then I reckon you are doing your best.
