Weight gain, clothes getting tight??

roxannebellistri · May 2013

Please tell me I am not the only one who is already having clothing issues. I want to just be in the stage where you can tell I am pregnant and not just "thicker" than usual. I have already put on 5 lbs so far and I am only 11 1/2 weeks, although this is my third but still. What is everyone else at?

Oh yes, me too. My work pants are starting to get pretty tight. I am just thankful it's warm enough that I can wear my wrap-around skirts to work. SUCH a life-saver.

I haven't put on any weight and I'm still struggling to put on my work pants. I've been rocking the sundresses and maxi dresses this week. I'm planning on living in them all summer! The bloat is just killing me!

Maternity clothes are your friends! I got some at 9.5 weeks and have been sooooo comfy since!

I've gained about 8 lbs but have lost most of the bloat (there's still some) and a little bump is starting.

I've only gained a few pounds but most of my pants aren't fitting right. I just ordered some maternity pants from Kohls.

One of the moms at my sons daycare gave me two bella bands to use. I think I shall be using them soon. My jeans are hard to zip...

I haven't gained weight, but my yesterday my favorite pencil skirt was a bit snug, so I think the bloat may have finally arrived!

Lol, there is no way I am getting into a pencil skirt. I have more curves than a roller coaster right now.

I don't know how you're on your third and still wearing your jeans. I can't even comfortably get into my prepreg skirts with elastic. This could have to do with the fact that I've had 3 in less than 3 years though. I think I've gained about 2 lbs.

roxannebellistri · May 2013

Well I have large gaps between the first two (11 years) and the second one is 4 so I have had time to get back into shape but this time I am gaining weight a lot faster than I did with the previous two.....

My clothes are really uncomfortable due to the bloat since I am so backed up from Zofran. I haven't gained more than a couple pounds, but I definitely think I am going to find some maternity jeans soon!

MelAnnDi · May 2013

I had major trouble with my pants being comfortable and I've only gained 3lbs. I bought some maxi dresses last weekend, and I don't want to wear pants again! I'm going to need to look for some maternity dress pants.

willowprincess · May 2013

lol I'm already up 10+ lbs and I'm only 9 weeks. I've been in maternity clothes full time for over a week.

11 1 today with my 3rd and today I had to put a bobble round my trouser top as the button was an inch away.

Never felt this thick before!

Butters19 · May 2013

I'm 11 weeks and this is my 3rd also big age gaps! I have 2 pairs of jeans left that fit. I haven't gained any weight but all of my clothes are tight , even shirts; with that said I am going to wear summer dresses as much as possible! I feel like I look like I have a little beer belly

1st pregnancy, nothing fits! I cry some mornings before work. I have been wearing be bands but today I busted out a pair of dress maternity pants DH bought for me a couple weeks ago. So comfy!

Amycakes86 · May 2013

I'm 11 wks 5 days and have been uncomfortable this week. I'm doing the elastic band thing on most of my jeans now.

I've been so bloated I gave up my pencil skirts about 2 weeks ago. I could still get into them, but by the end of the day was SO horribly uncomfortable! I just ordered some Gap maternity pants. Today is the first day I can really see something of a bump starting.

12 weeks tomorrow, and it is my third. I am gaining way more! I can't fit in half of my clothes. Tops are too small from my huge boobs too! I have gained between 5 and 10 pounds...I fluctuated so much before that I can't be sure...but for sure 5 pounds since my first appointment. I have already been wearing maternity clothes.

MrsQueale · May 2013

I was starting off strong. Now my belly is starting to make an appearance. I've already started shopping online for mat clothes. My first order arrived yesterday. So I'm ready once things don't fit right.

GeauxM&V · May 2013

I've been saying that I'm going shopping for maternity clothes the past 3 weeks, but this weekend is a must. I can only keep wearing the same "fat" clothes for so long. I feel and look better in flowy dresses with a high waist at the moment, though colleagues are so used to seeing me in fitted dresses, skirts and heels. Ha, that ship has sailed. Luckily they all know now, so I don't have to make excuses. But I did see some very cute professional work clothes online, so I'm excited to buy those too!
