At 6 weeks pregnant, I probably looked at least 12 weeks pregnant. I had a flat stomach prior to pregnancy, and the bloating was so bad that despite zero weight gain I needed to buy pregnancy pants. My family was convinced I was having twins until our ultrasound confirmed one baby is in here. That's how bloated I've been. I'm giving these two stars because, they seemed to maybe have worked for a week or so before I stopped having regular bowel movements all together and was bed ridden for about two weeks due to the bloating/gas/nausea/mental exhaustion from the bloating/gas/nausea. I have gut issues in general, and was in the process of figuring out what's going on when I got pregnant. Because of this, I don't know that it's completely fair to expect much from a vitamin if I have some major gut issues. I am very glad these worked for some people, just didn't work for me!
