Hello,
The abdominal distention may be due to a combination of weight gain and stomach being bloated. If you periods have not been regular it might be a good idea to have a urinary pregnancy test though.
To help with the bloated stomach you may take extra fiber with diet and as supplement as well. Make sure you drink plenty and keep your self active.
If no improvement with these measures then you will need to see your doctor and have an examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
