On another note...let's talk about bloat

So b/c I'm thinking positivly, let's talk about bloat.  This is my second pregnancy and I feel like I'm already ready for maternity pants.  I'm so freaking bloated!

Re: On another note...let's talk about bloat

  • Is bloating normal?  I have it, too, and this is my first pregnancy (*happy dance*) so I am completely clueless on it all.

  • With my first pregnancy I started feeling really bloated around 10 weeks, it was tough b/c I had to go to a wedding and none of my dresses were fitting properly
  • This is my second and I am BLOATED! I didn't get this way with my first I already look prego. I am about the size I was at 3 months before. Sad

  • Definitely bloated over here.  I looked in the mirror today and I was like that cannot be baby yet...I have to be bloated!  So uncomfortable.  Does it go away or just transform into belly ;)
  • I'm buying new pants this weekend.  Either maternity or a size up.  I haven't 100% decided yet.  I am so so so bloated.

  • Honestly?  Go for the maternity pants.  You will not believe how comfy they are.  My last pregnancy I was thinking this is how all pants should be!!!
  • I had some major bloat going on today too.  The Bella Band actually made it worse--it squeezed it into a band of bloat that resembled a muffin top, which I normally don't have.  Luckily, today was cool enough that I kept a scarf draped around my neck and it covered my belly a bit.  I also kept my jacket on as much as possible.  I think I'm going to have to invest in some looser sweaters soon!

  • Its gone up and down for me. Yesterday super bloated and today I was fine.
  • this is my first preg and i am just over protected of my little pumpkin seed.

    I feel like tight clothes are limiting its ability to grow. lol pretty crazy and not true.

    but I want to be comfortable ....so I bought the bebe band a week or two ago. I love it...and I wont wear jeans without it.

    maybe you might like it?

  • It got REALLY bad for me between weeks 9-12. When someone noticed I was pregnant and I told them when I was due, they said they could have sworn I was like 7 months pregnant! It went away around week 13 and then I didnt look pregnant at all for a bit.

    Use the maternity pants-don't fight it. :)

  • I had to retire a pair of jeans yesterday.  They were fine in the morning, but I had to undo them int he car ont he way home.

  • None of my work pants fit. NONE. I had a hair elastic holding my pants together yesterday. I have a pair of "fat" pants that were way too big a few weeks ago, and I could barely button them. So I broke down and stopped at Kohls on the way home yesterday and bought a couple pairs of maternity pants. When I was trying them on I couldn't believe how pregnant I looked already! And I've only gained 3 lbs - but its all bloat!!! 

    Anyone feel like its too early to wear maternity clothes at 6/7wks?

    I have a friend who is a few weeks ahead of me and she said the bloat eventually went away.
