Is it normal to get a bloated feeling from exercise?
Everytime I go for a walk, I feel a bloated sensation. It's like my whole stomache area gets hard. My uterus is still so small, so it can't be that. It's really weird and uncomfortable but I have to continue to exercise. I drink lot's of water while I walk and try not to do it in the heat of the day.
Even though you are at 11 weeks, your uterus IS a little more "bloated" than it was prepregnancy. The change may be as little as going from the size of a lemon to an orange at this point-but it is still a change. It is also more "filled" with the uterine lining, etc. than normal-because you are not menstruating...so this may actually be due to the pregnancy. I felt the same way as well-started feeling very bloated from about 8 weeks into my pregnancy on...
