Been trying for our 2nd baby for a few months now. My periods are a bit irregular & I haven't had one since the end of May. I have taken several tests and all negative. The last 2 days I have had a horrible bloated stomach, more in the lower tummy! It has made me feel sick and very uncomfortable, I have also experienced gurgling noises from my stomach. I don't usually get this bloated before my period is due. After sex the other night I was spotting brown slightly and have a little since. Anyone else experienced this

Brown spotting can be a sign of an implantation bleed when the egg settle in basically and disrupts some of the womb lining. Test again in a few days, you may have conceived later than May and maybe just had a long cycle this month. Good luck

Hi Hun, only thing I can say is the spotting may be implantation bleeding, I had this with one of my pregnancies, if that's the case hold out a week at least to test again, easier said than done I know. Xxxx

I actually look about 6 months pregnant and I can't breathe in cos it's so uncomfortable, I'm so conscious of it! I never experienced this bloating feeling with my first pregnancy. I have been using Superdrug tests but i bought a Clear Blue Digital one today so will try and hold out till next week. Thanks x

I find apples (especially Braeburns) really good for bloating. I sometimes get it really badly and have to eat apples for breakfast and lots of water, and sometimes even for lunch as well. Hope it is a baby though!

On the plus side its known that after 1st baby your more likely to show early with second etc, due to muscles, that and bloating and your brain thinking pregnancy could all be playing a part.
Hope you have a little bean
