Feeling giant

lucky22022

Hi. First pregnancy 38. I’m just 12 weeks today. Everything I read tells me I shouldn’t be gaining much weight or have too many noticeable physical changes at this stage. I feel huge. I feel like I’ve done something wrong. I’m pretty active but definitely eating all the time. (I’ve been running 3-4 miles a day, 3-4 times a week) I have a noticeable bump or I’m bloated and constipated .. my abdomen is so distended that I can barely push it out. At my first ultrasound my doctor said my baby was a big baby…

Anyone else out there feel like their abdomen got huge at 12 weeks? My clothes already don’t fit right.. most of my shorts I’ve had to put a side.

You are absolutely not alone! I’m only 7-8 weeks and already feel bloated and uncomfortable. I still fit in my clothes but hate wearing anything tight! Every body is different; if you’re already showing, that’s just how your body responds to pregnancy! Don’t compare your journey to anybody else’s. Just focus on being comfortable. Also, eat! As long as your making healthy choices, don’t worry about the rest. Your body is smart and knows what it needs.

Same!! I feel bloated! My baby is also on the bigger side they said at 10 weeks so I think every pregnancy is different and it also depends on your starting body.  Some petite women will show as early as 9-10 weeks! I’m a plus size girl and I won’t show for at least 20 weeks probably because I have excess skin from weight loss but this is totally normal in my opinion!
