My lower stomach feels a bit bloated and tight since few days, and we are trying to conceive. Could this be an early sign ya just normal bloating before periods? Honestly cant tell the difference yaar.
Bloating can make your stomach look swollen early on, but please monitor if there is any pain or spotting. I had complications early on, so I always recommend checking with a doctor if you feel unusual swelling.
During my IVF journey, I experienced a lot of abdominal swelling from hormones even before a positive test. It can definitely be an early sign, but please take a home test to be sure and guard your heart.
In early pregnancy, bloating is huge because of progesterone slowing down digestion, so your stomach might feel swollen. I felt so puffy and nauseous all day, eating small dry meals helped a bit.
Personally, my stomach looked bloated almost immediately after conceiving, long before any actual baby bump showed up. It was just water retention and gas for me.
Usually, it's just gas bloating, so drinking warm cumin water helps. But if the swelling is accompanied by sharp pain, please consult your gynac right away.
