Is it normal for your bloating to go down at 11-12 weeks?

Ever since about 4-5 weeks i've been so bloated i couldn't fasten my trousers and had to buy maternity jeans, although i still dont have a bump at all. The last few days i've noticed my bloating has reduced alot and i feel fairly slim again, its quite un-nerving. Has anyone else had this? Thanks xx

I didnt really get a big bloated tummy, although my tummy was tender so i wore loose clothes, and just my undies at home for the first few weeks. Its normal for it to go away as you progress with the pregnancy just the same as ms x

I got MASSIVELY bloated and it went down before 12 weeks and now I have popped (only a little but it is there). I would not worry it can happen a bit earlier or later than that but it is nothing to worry about.

Oh I wish this will happen to me! I hate the bloated feeling. Everything is tight on me, I have to fight off the urge to unbutton my pants throughout my work day! I have read somewhere that the first trimester bloating can resolve around week 12, so I think what you've experienced is normal.

Hi hun, I was bloated as well in the early weeks. Then it went down and I looked smaller! Finally by like 15 weeks I started getting the tiniest of bump. Now at 17 weeks it is getting hard. XO

I was very bloated til about 13wks. Actually enjoyed it as I am normally very slim and the bloatedness made me look pregnant-probaby the same size as I am just now at 29wks!! I have a cute neat bump!

After it went about 13wks, I was back to my flat-stomach. And then the wee bump started to appear around 18wks.

I am sure all is well.

And dont be worrying if you didnt get the bloat- you are just lucky!!

Thanks ever so much ladies, that's made me feel a little happier. I think i expected to stroll in for my 12 week scan with a bit of a bump! x

Yes! So glad you bought this up. The past couple of days I have noticed my bloat going down. I have been trying to eat less and walk more, but nonetheless I do look and feel alot less bloated. I can also feel what I think is the beginnings of a small bump, just about my knicker line. I am 11 plus 3 (ignore ticker) so maybe things are finally progressing in the bloat/bump department (touch wood) -woo hoo xx

I can feel a round firm ball shape at my hairline but i've been able to feel it for weeks, maybe its getting bigger but not sure x

hey, my bloat belly has started to reduce in the past week. The bloating was worst between 4 - 8 weeks for me. x
