so bloated

But I'm only 5 weeks pregnant. And my tummy so big and bloated already compared to usual. Is this normal?

Yes it is normal. I encountered this too during my first trimester. Gynae suggested to eat smaller meal multiple times and also prescribed me probiotic to ease the bloatness. It gets better when I'm in second trimester.

I see thank you I will be checking w mine in 2 weeks and will see what she will say. I'm just not comfortable with the bloat now :(

It is different with each one. If your doctor is not concerned it is fine. Have foods which don’t cause water retention

Yup. It's normal. Recommended to eat smaller portions of food but frequently to help with it
