Cheer me up?

Getting ready for work this morning and the dreaded bloat has finally hit me. I can't seem to wear anything without looking like I'm 20 weeks. I'm not exactly skinny anyway, so I got really sad as I'm not ready to share yet. What on earth do I do? :

    Aww, kittie. I have the bloat, too, and it's really uncomfortable!

     Try to wear dark clothes. They tend to thin one's figure. Also, vertical lines (such as long seams) should help, too.

    I bet you can find something that makes you look nice and feel good about your appearance.

    You do your best. I'm sorry. As Starshine said, wear some darker clothing. It slims. Do you have a belly band yet? They didn't work for me, but they can make the bloat less uncomfortable with your pants.

    The bloat is always fun! Go with the darker clothes and the belly band, that should buy you a little more time!

    I too feel your pain of the "bloat". I too am not a small girl and I can't fit any of my jeans that I wore just weeks ago! I now live in sweats on the weekends, and leggings through the week. I started to miss my jeans and finally broke down and bought a few pair of maternity jeans. which I must say they're pretty comfortible.

    You're pregnant- enjoy it! Don't listen to the people who say you shouldn't be showing as much as you are, etc. I'm sure you're the only one who can tell you're bloated!

    Have you tried a rubber band around the button, through the loop and back around the button. Gives you an extra inch to breath!

    Don't be too hard on yourself! I know the mix of hormones can make us crazy but you're pregnant and bloat is sooo normal! And like PP said, I bet you're the only one who can tell.

    I am also feeling super bloated- I use the bella band and I layer sweater wraps over my outfits.  It covers anything I am nervous to show.
