Bloating going down-normal?? 10 weeks preg?

Question

Hiya, Im approx 10+2 weeks with 2nd baby. Have had a slight "bump" for couple weeks now and recently I noticed it has gone down a little bit.
Midwife said early preg bloating with 2nd baby is normal, but has anyone else experienced it going down?
Thanks in advance

Hiya, yes ive heard Hb for over a week now!
It moves around all the time so locating it can sometimes be difficult
lol

Answer 1

Hey I'm 10+2 days as well! Due july 9-10th!!

And I am getting the exact same thing! I was looking so pregnant people were commenting and I kept telling them, no I'm not showing just bloated. But this last 5-7 days I am relatively normal and not bloating as much at all. I have found it a little disconcerting because I have also stopped feeling nauseas now and really un-pregnant especially without the bloated-pregnant belly gone too.

I'm onto my third pregnancy but don't feel pregnant at all right now. I am hoping that some of my symptoms come back (oh god I can't believe I said that!) or I start to show soon because I keep thinking something is wrong?

Oh btw, have they been able to hear your babies heartbeat on doppler yet??

best of luck

EDIT: I'm so glad you said you've heard the hearbeat because I'm getting paranoid to the point that I am going to docs on monday arvo just to put my mind at ease and see if they can hear anything. fingers crossed they can. I'm fairly thin and heard this helps with early heartbeat detection.

Answer 3

This is totally normal. In first time pregnancies as well as subsequent ones. My sister is pregnant with her 4th and is 16 weeks, I am pregnant with my 1 and am 8 weeks. My sis had a little bump from about 9-11 weeks that just seemed to "disappears" at 11.5 weeks and it's only recently she's beginning to show properly again! Apparently its just bloating and sometimes possibly water retention. Fear not!
I am still waiting to show (can't wait!) but was feeling a little bloated up until this last week, and now back to my normal self (except my boobs!!)
Just enjoy the flat tummy while iit lasts could it won't be much longer now!

Answer 4

i did - i got really bad water retention untill week 11, constantly peed for 2 days, then was fine. My bump also went down. I'm guessing you're quite slim which is why you've noticed.

Answer 5

i have had three kids,and with two of mine my tummy,constantly went up and down,its like when you have a period and you get water retention and bloating its,nothing to worry about..i some days looked three months pregnant other days six...i hope this helps.
