Last week at around 6 weeks I started noticing that all my pants were getting very tight on me. This week it's gotten to the point where I am thinking about buying a couple pairs of work pants in the next size up and I ordered a pair of jeans from gap with the demi panel for the weekends. I don't think I've been eating out of control or anything but I am trying to get more dairy and whole grains (no longer feeling guilty about eating lots of carbs:). I haven't really gained much weight (maybe a pound in the last month and a half) but am wondering if bloating can make this much of a difference in the way my pants fit! Also, what's healthy for weight gain in the first few months???
Oh the joy of first trimester bloat. I'm right there with you. Nearly all of my pants are tight - as in, leaving red marks tight - but just on my stomach. This just happened in the past week and a half and the scale hasn't budged so it's 100% bloat. Ugh. Try the rubber band or hair elastic trick - loop it through the buttonhole and attach it to the button. I haven't gotten to that point yet but it's close. I've read that healthy weight gain during the first trimester is 3-5 pounds.
I never found anything that helped with the bloat when I was pregnant the first time. Drink lots of water, add a little lemon to it. Make sure you poop regularly.
I can't remember for sure, but I think weight gain in the first trimester is supposed to be like 5lbs or something.

I more feel like I lost all my shape overnight. I woke up without a waist one day. I thought for sure I had gained, but when I got on the scale today I'm down a pound so there you have it.

Notes:
My pants are screaming right now too! I have been exercising regularly and nothing helps. It is definetly better in the morning, but by bed time, I am so much happier in elastic! haha. Other than the bloating and some insomnia, I have had no real pregnancy symptoms. I'm looking forward the "pregnant belly" versus the "bloated belly".
Bloat is killing me too and I am only at 4 weeks! Please dont tell me it will be worse! I am already a giant tub and my pants dont fit. I know it is bloat because I have not even gained a pound yet!
