I kinda feel stupid...

in Pregnant after a Loss

using a Bella Band at 8 weeks....but I'm fat and it feels awful to button any of my jeans! I know none of it is baby. We haven't even told anyone I'm KU besides my mom. My belly doesn't even look like a bump. I just look fat. I know some of it is me gaining some weight in the 3 months we were TTA before I got this BFP so I guess thats what is making me feel stupid....

Anybody else use the bella band this early??

    Yep.  I could not wear my regular pants at week 6.  Don't feel bad.

    I was in a BeBand starting at 7w.  The progesterone bloat was out of control.  Embrace it!

    Does taking progesterone supplements make you bloat more??

    Yep!  I'm pretty sure I was wearing maternity jeans at week 10.  I was definitely in them at week 12.

    Oh yeah!  Plus, I think the bloat gets worse the more pregnancies you've had.

    I used my maternity pants/bella band almost instantly after my BFP. I had MAJOR bloating from the very beginning. 

    And you're not fat, missy. Be nice to yourself!
