Am I getting fat or is this real?

So I am 6 weeks along and I've noticed my clothes are getting tight?  Am I just getting fat or am I expanding due to baby?  I did buy one pair of stretch pants (or leggings as they are now called) but is it time to invest in more?

    It's def not baby yet but most likely bloat.  I say wear what's comfy and if that means buying more stretchy pants/leggings then go for it!

    It is bloat. Estrogen levels are going way up which makes you bloaty. I bought my first mat pants at 9 weeks because the bloat was making me so uncomfortable. I can actually wear a few of my "fat clothes" now (at 16w) more comfortably! The bloat will get better in a few weeks.

    Oh thank goodness.  This is my first and multiples run rampant in my family.  My mom, grandmother, aunt, 2 sets of cousins and several cousins have had them as well.
