448723 tn?1301454958 I am having worse nausea, headaches and bloating than I ever had while pregnant. My stomach had gone down completely after the miscarriage, and now it looks just as big (if not bigger) than before. For all those that haven't taken Progesterone before: It stops bleeding by tricking your body into thinking it is pregnant. When you stop the medication, 2-4 days later you get a period. It is getting hard not to hope I am pregnant.
Avatar f tn Greens can also cause bloating, though (such as broccoli, spinach and green beans). When you get bloated, do you drink milk? While pregnant milk can be harder to digest causing bloating. This is my second pregnancy and noticed I was super bloated towards the end of the day. I cut out dairy and it's helped out ALOT. Also my midwife suggested lactaid (the pills) when I get uncomfortable. She said it was perfectly safe while pregnant. Try cutting out dairy to see if this helps first. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Hi, i have just found out 2 weeks ago that i'm pregnant. My test showed i was 5 weeks, and i recently just been for a scan and was showing a black shadow in the uterus but unable to rule out being eptopic at this stage because they could not see anything? I'm going back in another week for a scan but concerned because i look about 5 months pregnant i am really bloated and even had to invest in some maternity trousers for work. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn The high levels of progesterone while you are pregnant cause gas and bloating. The progesterone relaxes the smooth muscle tissue of the digestive tract, slowing digestion and leading to gas and bloating. There are a few things that you can do to help with the bloating. Avoid large meals, eat smaller more frequent meals. Avoid carbonated drinks. Finally, exercise, like walking, will help speed digestion. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope this helps.
327369 tn?1326119908 Curious about bloating.....if you were not bloated prior to taking thyroid meds but become extremely bloated about 1-2 weeks after taking them....what causes that? This has happened several times to me (when being place on thyroid meds). Bloating does not exist prior to meds and went away when I went off meds????? Dr. said it was from being slightly hypo but I do not believe that and know that is was not like that weeks and weeks before when levels were actually higher! Any ideas???

Avatar n tn Bloating is the most likely culprit. Try avoiding gas causing foods for a while. The bloating is likely to hang out a while.
1769279 tn?1315015320 Is this new for you? Some people are just like this, it's just what their body does (specifically with fattening stuff & carbs!). The breathing part isn't good, ask your dr. Do you have celiacs? Even if you don't, wheat free diets do good things for a lot of people. I don't know why. I was on a very restricted allergy diet for a while, including no wheat, and while I didn't get to eat anything good, I felt amazing.
329994 tn?1301663248 For the last 3 years, have had extreme bloating, not PMS bloating, but bloating and looking like I am 9 months pregnant. I eat very little and bloat immediately. I bloat no matter what type of food I eat, it doesn't matter. No one can find the answer. Last summer, I had an emergency appendectomy. While performing that operation, they noticed that my small intestine was blocked, so they took out a foot of my intestine.

Avatar f tn I am a 16 year old girl and I've had severe bloating in my lower abdomen. I feel full after small meals and have had to urinate more frequently. This has happened for about 5 days now and I haven't gone to see the doctor yet. It is very uncomfortable and I pass gas frequently as well.

Avatar f tn Well I'm only 7 weeks pregnant. The doctor says I'm wouldnt be showing for a while but my family says i have a little bump. Is it possible?
Avatar f tn Most of the belly at this stage is retention and bloating--while it is true that women who have been pregnant might show sooner, it will not occur this early.
