A common problem in CPR is accidentally blowing air into the stomach instead of the lungs. If the stomach area rises when giving breaths, you likely have your airway inserted incorrectly, and tubes have gone into the esophagus instead of the trachea.

Once you've given enough breath to fill their lungs, anything further you blow in will 'overflow' down into the stomach and start to cause bloating. (Next step is that they'll probably vomit on you, so watch out!)
