My gynaecologist explained that pregnancy bloating can actually start very early, sometimes even before you miss a period! This is primarily due to the surge in progesterone, which slows down digestion. It often peaks in the first trimester.
I remember feeling bloated from week 5 itself, it was quite confusing initially! I tried ginger tea and light walks, and it did help a little. It's mostly due to hormones, so just focus on what makes you feel comfortable and keeps digestion smooth.
Oh, pregnancy bloating starts super early, sometimes even before you get that positive test! It was one of my first symptoms. Try to eat smaller meals frequently and drink lots of water. It can be uncomfortable but it's very normal.
As someone managing diabetes, I was very careful about everything during my pregnancy. Bloating can start very early, often in the first trimester. Ensure you're eating a balanced diet with good fiber, but always watch your sugar intake. Small, frequent meals work best.

I was constantly worried about every little symptom, and bloating was one of the first things I noticed! It started around week 6 for me and made me feel so uncomfortable. It's totally normal, caused by progesterone, but it's hard not to overthink it.
