Pregnant & Constantly Bloated

[cac23]

Hello,

I found out I am pregnant and I am constantly bloated, I suffer from IBS (Irretible Bowl Syndrome) and thats not causing my bloated-ness as I still am bloated before I eat and quite long after I eat. This is the second baby I am having my son is 2 and a half years old, I had IBS before my son was concieved and my stomach wasn't bloated while i was pregnant with him. Can anyone help me on this please?

Thanks

As i am sure you know every pregnancy is different so your last pregnancy is likely to bear no resemblance to this one. I too was very bloated and felt rather uncomfortable at the beginning and was told by a midwife that it would just be due to the pregnancy hormones making my digestive system very slow and sluggish. I am not sure how you look after your irritable bowel syndrome, but I was recommended plenty of fibre rich food to keep it all moving along.
