Bloating in Early Pregnancy: Causes, Concerns & When to See a Doctor

Question
This is my third pregnancy and I am about 8-10 weeks. I'm beginning to show way down low just a little, but my stomach (upper) is staying bloated and very uncomfortable. I have to eat very small amounts. I don't remember being this bloated and it sticking out so much in my other pregnancies, could there be a problem or is this normal?

Answer
Hello Julie- what you describe is not common- be sure to mention it to your dr at your next visit if it is still bugging you. You will find that you will show earlier with this one simply because your belly muscles have been stretched out twice before and they are looser now. All the best- Cheri.
