I don't remember this much bloat last time. Oy.

And poor choice of outfit for work. I'm going to be sucking it in all day. Whomp whomp.

Is everyone else this bloaty? And if not, lie to me. Tell me I'm not the only one getting round.

Yes, I've been super bloated for a week! (I think part of it too- TMI- been fairly constipated already--- I just asked my OB to call in a prenatal that has a built in stool softener).

I had to go into corporate earlier this week for a mgrs meeting and could barely hide it with a light spanx. I was feeling really paranoid someone would guess and it was NOT the time for me to want to tell anyone!

Yupp! Im super bloated. Cant even suck in. A family friend yesterday told me Im starting to look chunky. lol Can you use a girdle during 1st tri? I have a wedding this week, and Im not going bloated out all over the place lol

I was super bloated with my first. For some reason this time not at all. But, I def. remember buying a bella band real early and starting to wear maternity clothes at 10 weeks!

Aww, that's the worst. :-( I hope it works for you! All the extra iron in the prenatals screws up my system too.

Haha I don't know how your OB would feel about a girdle. This is the hard part where you just look chubby before you have a cute little bump. Blah.

FOR REAL! I lent all of my maternity clothes to a friend and need to get them back somehow without her being suspicious. ::shifty eyes::

Oh don't worry, you'll have one! Wink One day you'll wake up and be like, what the.... Haha

You look cute! Purple, does your friend know you are expecting? If not, how rude to say you look chunky!

I am a little bloated. Definitely wishing I had lost the 3-4 pounds I wanted to before my bfp.

EIsieMae · July 2012

I've been super freaking bloated all week. I'm just thankful that I wear an apron at work, so nobody has really noticed yet.

HenHen25 · July 2012

I'm worried my bloat/bump will come earlier this pregnancy. I'm not very tall, so I think I show earlier anyway, and was definitely wearing maternity pants by 8-10 weeks.

That's true. Since my current wardrobe is pretty much yoga pants and workout shorts, my guess is Ill avoid maternity pants a little longer this time.

No bloat yet for me - but I'm also not the possessor of a fine, flat belly in the first place, so there's some "extra padding" anyway. Conveniently, salwar kameez also tend to have room for hiding things, so I only have to worry about it when I have western clothes on.
I'd almost take the bloat right now, just to be sure this is all real!

Ahh the colors and designs that those outfits (are they considered outfits?) come in are stunning. So darn pretty!!

I still have a little tummy from my last pregnancy so not much difference yet for me.

Nice friend! Boo!

I sometimes feel bloated, but nothing shows bc I'm a bit of a chunky monkey and wear loose shirts. But my pants feel tighter. And there is going to be a new dress code at work that means no jeans so the next pair of pants I'm buying will be maternity. I am NOT wasting money!! lol

Bink720 · July 2012

OMG! Yes! What is really weird is I will start out my day looking somewhat normal. But by the end of the day I look about 4 months pregnant.

I don't remember having bloating this bad/this early last time around. I do remember switching to maternity pants between 12-13 weeks last time. I'm thinking it may be a little sooner this time. And I only have 1 pair of work maternity pants from last time. And they are so stretched out they don't even lay flat against my bloated belly. I actually went ahead and ordered a couple pairs of jeans which should get here in a couple of weeks.

Hoping the bloat doesn't give me away!

Very bloated. I think it's gotten a bit better... I want to enjoy not showing for a while and wear all my cute clothes!!

kammmmay · July 2012

I was super bloated with my first. I don't know if its just too early, but not yet this time. That being said, I don't look that good normally. LOL. You still look little to me.

I agree. Definitely jealous over here too. I just looked like the state puff marshmallow man last time.

I bloated round #1 and I'm bloated now. I took a test Thursday and this morning which were both positive, but when I went to the dr today, she didn't see anything on the ultrasound. I did bloodwork today and hopefully I get the answer that I want to hear.
