Pants tight at 11wks. Anyone else?

BakingandBooks · July 2009

So I finally had to break out my BellaBand today because none of my jeans close comfortably anymore. (!!) I'm surprised because I thought most women didn't start to notice a change in how their clothes fit until the 2nd trimester? (This is my first pregnancy and I've gained 6lbs so far.)

Did anyone else notice a change in how their clothes fit by 11 weeks? Just curious.

I'm almost 11 weeks and my pants are definitely tight. It's bloat though, not baby. It seems like a lot of other girls on here are experiencing the same thing. I've always worn clothes that fit me perfectly so the extra bloat definitely makes them too tight. I tried the Bella Band and hated it so am doing the hair tie trick or wearing dresses.

Yes, I was in maternity pants full-time by 10 weeks, showing slightly at 16.

Oh yeah. Mine are tight. I don't have a bella band yet though. I'm giong to start the rubber band thing and see how it works.

Yep, mine are tight. And I haven't gained any weight yet...I've actually lost four pounds.

I am right there with you! I am at 11 weeks and I can not fit in my shorts anymore. However, I haven't made that next step and purchased maternity clothes. I probably shouldn't wait much longer!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I wore the BellaBand today and it was ok, not too uncomfortable in an air conditioned room but I can't imagine wearing it on a hot day. I'm going to try the rubber band trick tomorrow.

I need to stock up on dresses for the office - I'm trying to keep this a secret until month 4 or 5 and sadly my slacks don't have buttons to attach a rubber band to. Doh!

Definitely bloat for me too. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I'm having the same issue. I'm mostly in dresses since it's summer and any larger pants I can find for work. Elastic has been a blessing so far. And usually at the end of the day I think mine is mostly water weight, but I've gotta say that very first thing in the morning when my tummy doesn't feel bloated at all, I have a rounder tummy than I did before. I think some of it may be a tad bit of baby. Call me crazy. But it's definitely something that wasn't there before and firm.

Umm I had to wear maternity pants this week because my pants got tight at about 6.5 weeks. My dr said that happens and not to worry about it. But she also said that it was partially because as your uterus grows it starts to push other organs up and that is what is causing bump that I have. And I have actually lost a pound. I think everyone just grows a little differently.
