1st Trimester

I have muffin top :-(

This sucks! My jeans are already too tight and I have the dreaded muffin top. I have no idea how I am going to hide this at work for 12 weeks.

And don't worry, I KNOW this is bloat and not baby, but it wasn't here 2 weeks ago!

  • At least you can still do up your pants!  I stopped trying to do up my pants 3 weeks ago!!!

  • try the rubber band trick that way you can still wear your pants that are too tight

  • yeah..its sexy huh? Ive got the same thing going on.
  • I do too and I'm finding new and creative ways of buttoning my pants without really buttoning them.  I'm just grateful all of my shirts are long
  • Unfortunately my muffin top was creeping in before BFP.  Now people will really think i've let myself go.

     I am going to seek out a bella band very soon. 

  • I may have to just wear my dress pants even though we're more casual here - jeans are the worst! I bought a belly band last time I was pg, I will have to see if I can find it.

  • I just put all my favorite pants away b/c I won't be fitting into them for a veeery long time.  Good thing I had a couple pairs of fat pants stashed away =)

  • Oh honey I have had Muffin Top for 29 years!  The Bella Band/TummyTube makes me feel normal!

  • Definitely get a Bella Band or a Tummy Sleeve. My jeans were tight at 12 weeks but once the bloat went down, I was able to wear them till about 19 weeks.
  • I have the same problem.  I was shopping around online for the best prices on bella bands or similar products last night.  Ugh, this bloat sucks!

  • Okay, for sure looking for my belly band and buying a new one if I can't find it.

    I was putting on a few before I got pg, so I'm sure that doesn't help either.

    Glad to hear I am not alone (sort of, I mean I don't wish muffin tops on you all!)
