Could extreme bloating be a pregnancy symptom?
I am 5 days late on my period, which has never happened before, and I am extremely bloated, could bloating be a sign of pregnancy? This is not just water retention, this is a different kind of bloating, its like, I can’t even suck my stomach in if i try, and i have sharp pains on my side.
Take a home pregnancy test! Bloating has not been one of my symptoms. However, everyone is different. I know across the board some of the very first symptoms are:
Sore breasts
Enhanced sense of smell
Cravings
Exhaustion
and of course the most obvious of all, the missed period!
Yes, bloating is a big pregnancy symptom. The hormones slow down your digestive system.
