My tracking app showed bloating is super common from week 4 or 5 because of progesterone rising. It literally slows down digestion. Drink lots of water and track your triggers on an app, it helps to see what foods make it worse.
Mujhe toh second month se hi gas aur bloating shuru ho gayi thi. Ghar pe dadi told me to drink lukewarm water throughout the day. Avoid heavy fried food in the evening and try walking for 10 mins after eating.
With all the hormonal injections, my bloating started even before the embryo transfer. It can be quite uncomfortable, but please hang in there. Just take small, frequent meals and give your body some gentle time.
For me it started almost immediately, even before my positive test. Managing back-to-back meetings with a tight waistband was such a pain. I started wearing loose kurtis to office from week 6 itself.
Aww, that early bloating is so real, I remember feeling like a balloon in my first trimester. Don't worry, it usually gets much better in the second trimester when your body adjusts. Just walk a bit after dinner, it helps a lot.
