Swollen belly... anyone else?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the board! I will be starting my 9th week on Wednesday. I have been fortunate and have not had any vomiting or much nausea at all - pretty much just tired and different eating habits. Although, my main symptom has been my belly. I know the baby itself is only the size of a blueberry, but my belly is swollen and I can't fit into ANY clothes already! I purchase the belly band, and I personally could not stand it - so I got a couple hand me down maternity pants from sisters I have been using.

Yesterday I ran into someone I knew and the first thing she said is "Oh, when are you due?" Already!! Is anyone else experiencing a swollen belly? My doctor said that some people just have that happen... but I was still curious...

    You can get bloated at the beginning and then it may (or may not) go back down.  It is nothing abnormal.

    I've got some severe bloat going on too. I just wear empire waist dresses because having anything on them too tight like pants is annoying.

    I'm puffy all the time, but by the end of the day my stomach is so swollen it feels like it's going to burst. It's like this horrible full feeling in my entire abdomen. So weird. Usually around bed time i start to feel ill, because I feel so bloated and full.

    i am right there with you.

    i did wear a belly band for the first time today, to try to hide my rubber band button..... i had to fold it over to actually make it work.  try doing that.  other wise, it just falls down!
