I look HUGE!!! Mini vent...

S0MERS0MER
in July 2012 Moms
Yesterday the major bloating kicked in and it's still here. My stomach is so big I LOOK so pregnant! I am having a hard time hiding it and I feel pretty self concious. Also my boobs have gotten much bigger and this morning I noticed a few tiny stretch marks on the side! My boobs are now an easy D and I feel like they are going to be massive by the time the baby comes. I was an athletic 140lbs before I got PG- I think I might cry if I got on the scale now : ( I hate to sound selfish, but I am having a hard time dealing.... I think the hormones have really added to the upset too. Anyone else REALLY bloated at 9 weeks???

    Idk that I've even gained weight but a glance in the mirror makes me so sad and I feel HUGE. I've never been very thin but I'm feeling extra curvy these days :( It is hard to think that the body you try so hard to maintain may now be 40 lbs bigger in 9 months, but some women dont gain alot at all. Keep you're head up

    YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! lol Not that I can see you but its just an educated assumption lol

    I hear ya! I'm not 9 weeks yet, but I definitely look like I'm showing.  I'm a little thing (5'1) and although I don't know how much I weighed pre-pg (I strugged with an eating disorder for years and have been in recovery, so no scales for a long while now) I wore these old navy pants that were a size 2 (a stretchy size 2, mind you).  Now...those no longer button, lol.  That started last week.  And they don't button like a good two inches, so out came the belly band! I look like I'm showing too, so I hear you on that.

    I know I'm eating more but I'm also pretty sure a lot of it is bloat, and I hear you on the boobs! They're like twin Hindenburgs! But one thing that helps me when I start freaking out about everything is 1) it's really not going to be forever, just about 10 months or so; and 2) the bigger boobs mean more food for baby! 

    But just know that you definitely do not sound selfish.  These are big changes (really big ones that happened really fast, when you think about it!) and it's a to deal with! You are a beautiful mama and your body is doing a beautiful thing.

    I can totally relate. My big fear is my boobs. I already have pretty big boobs naturally- a full D. I'm afraid it's going to look like I have 3 bellys by the time this is all said and done. They already feel fuller and I'm only 8 weeks. :( 

    Just remind yourself it is only temporary.

    I hear you on the bloat. I'm 3 weeks behind you, and haven't been able to button my pants all week. Mine's from OHSS though, so it's also lopsided (3 huge cysts on the left).

    yep. 9 weeks here, and the bloat has gotten a ton worse. i feel like such a fatty :( it's upsetting because it's bloating up so fast so i feel like i'm just gaining a ton of weight because if i wasn't pregnant, and my stomach got this big, this fast, it would be like, "WAKE UP CALL!" lol...i try to just remind myself that it's bloat, and that i'm pregnant...

    I'm only 7w5d and I had to break out my old maternity jeans.  Even my fat jeans are too tight.  The bloat is unreal!

    I wear a lot of dresses to work and every time I walk by a mirror and catch my profile I just wince.  I'm about 8 weeks and my stomach is so distended that I look very pregnant.  My boobs are so big that I need to go bra shopping for a larger size!  I feel like everyone at work (especially my staff is wondering why the sudden body change).  It is way noticeable since I had a flat stomach before and now it is very round.   I know it is all bloat & it is very annoying.

    I start the day looking relatively normal, just a little chunkier than usually.  By the end of the day, my bloat is out of control & I look like I'm super pregnant!  So annoying.  I just want the bloat to go away and the baby bump to come. :-)
