Weight gain and huge bloated belly at 5.5 weeks?

[KLeigh]

Hello ladies!
Coming to you for insight again!

I'm only 5.5 weeks. So far, I have gained 8 lbs and my belly has been bloating like crazy this last week. My clothes are tight already.

Symptoms have been sore tummy, exhaustion, sore boobs. A little nausea.

I haven't changed the way I eat. I actually might be eating less.

Thoughts? Experiences?

About 5-5.5 weeks was where my bloated made it uncomfortable to sit with the waistband of my dress pants buttoned all day. I got some Bella Bands and they have been a life saver. The stretch through the day as the bloat gets worse and are super comfortable.

Good luck

Haha - yes. There is a bloated/fat stage before an actual bump. Don't worry - it happens to almost everybody. This is my second and its happened earlier than the first time! Just remind yourself itll be a cute little bump soon : )
