Mother aggravating me over weight gain.

HappyBride1979

Hello ladies,

My Mother is aggravating me. She tells me that I should not be in bigger clothes yet, as I am only 17 weeks. I have not been weighing myself, but I do feel bigger, and my waist is much wider. I have no stretch marks or anything.

How are you ladies expanding? I am very tall, so I can carry a lot of weight, which could be misleading. Are you in bigger clothes?

Thanks!

I would tell my mother to shut it. As long as your doctor isn't concerned neither should you be. My family says the same things to me. I just tell them I don't want to hear it. Sorry you have to deal with that.

I transitioned fully to maternity clothes this week.  Everyone is different.  She needs to back off. You NEED to be comfortable and forcing yourself into your pre-preg clothes aren't going to be something you can do for much longer...nor should you have to!! You are going to pop soon if you  haven't already and frankly you are already bloated, etc. so wear what is comfortable and don't talk to her about it!  WTF is wrong with people!?

um, i was in maternity pants at 14 weeks (purchased by my mother.) everyone expands/gains differently, including you and your mom.  tell her to shut it, and if she can't, then just ignore her and do what makes you comfortable.

No way could I probably even pull on my pre PG clothes. I don't let anyone but my DH and BF know what I've gained and no one has asked. My family always thought I was too skinny anyways so they don't say anything. I would say you should be in bigger clothes by then. I only gained 1 lb till 16 weeks and was in bigger clothes and had a small bump.

I started wearing maternity pants at 13 weeks. I still wear a mix of maternity and pre-pregnancy shirts at 31 weeks.

It's not just the belly that expands, but also your hips!!!  And, in my case, butt, thighs, and boobs:) And, yes, I'm in bigger clothes!

Please give your mother a well-deserving throat punch. ?If you feel shy about it, tell her it's from me.

and then put on earmuffs to block her out. ?I'm very tall, haven't gained a pound yet in this pregnancy, but I'm already in maternity clothes.?

I've gone into maternity clothes just recently (still wearing my regular tops although they are starting to get a little short), but everyone is different. Tell your mom to stop bugging you! You are going to grow, it's perfectly normal!!!!

I have lost a few pounds and can't fit into any of my pre-preg pants.  I am guessing my hips are widening because they are really sore.

I lost 10 pounds in 1st tri and have gained back 5 but can't fit into my regular jeans - not even close.?

I have only gained 4 lbs and am tall but I have been in mostly maternity wear for 2 weeks. My mom helped me pick them out but when we were talking about how much weight I "should" gain during pregnancy, she had the nerve to say "but don't they take it into account if you are overweight before pregnancy?"  Well yes they do, but I was not overweight, I was in the normal weight range for my height! Way to make me feel huge, mom! 

So I am definitely feeling you. Don't feel bad.

Seeing as my belly is protruding, when it didn't before, yes I am in bigger clothing, and it's not surprising if you are now also, you're only about a week or so behind me.

Are you supposed to not get larger bras yet either, even though they're probably at least a size bigger than they were from the get-go?

Tell your mom to mind her own.  That stuff makes me angry.
