Pregnant Belly...

in 1st Trimester

So when you think pregnant woman... you think body with a bump... when you look at maternity clothing ads or sites... you see body with a bump. 

I'm tall, I'm fit and 7 weeks pregnant but all of a sudden I feel like I'm a body with a blob growing around my middle.  I feel like I'm not going to have that defined baby stomach as the months go on... I'm just going to have a jelly donut around my waist! I feel like with my first pregnancy I was a little more "defined".

 Anyone else feel this way?

    Yep, it's called bloat. Bloat doesn't necessarily keep to a defined cute little spot.

    I did with my first and I still got the cute bump so don't worry. This time around I am afraid I am going to have the fattest face ever!!

    i feel exactly like you too.  the bloat also almost makes me look like i'm showing though, which is frustrating b/c i'm not even 6 weeks and really want to hide this pg at work til after Christmas. i do remember feeling this way w/ my first too... the blob-y feeling eventually subsides and the cute bump emerges

    I can't say from experience as this is my first, but I did notice that my best friend popped WAY sooner with her second and third pregnancies.

    For me, it was officially bloat a couple weeks ago. The past few days, it all seems more solid. I think my body is putting more fat on (great).  I haven't been eating as healthy as usual and have cut out my weights but I didn't expect this. I'm not eating very many calories due to m/s and haven't put weight on yet. But now I'm having trouble buttoning all my pants b/c of this new additional "fluff".  Great...

    Isn't bloat fun?  I have the fun saggy belly from the first baby still so add in the bloat I have for this one and the 5 extra pounds I look fat and saggy.

    Here's hoping I "pop" soon and start looking pregnant instead of just fat with my saggy bloated baby belly hanging over my pants when I sit in a chair.
