Hi there! Bella doesn't look bloated from the pictures you shared, at least not enough to be medically concerned without additional symptoms. If she develops any digestive issues (vomiting/diarrhea), or becomes lethargic, a visit to the vet is in order. For right now, it's probably just fine to watch her. Good luck, and I hope Bella does well!
