    It's probably bloat. A blump. I've been wearing a belly band since 5 or 6 weeks. Looks very round and I look pregnant. I'm 7 weeks now and the bump hasn't gotten bigger so I know its all bloat. You could start showing early tho. Like 9 or 10 weeks.

    At 5 weeks I think it's safe to say it's just bloat.  2nd time pregnancies show quicker, but at this point your uterus is just way too small and buried in your pelvis to be showing.

    Thanks! I only use the belly band when my pants zip, I find it very uncomfortable if my pants don't zip. I feel like they are gonna fall off lol

    Second baby here too and the bloat is out of this world. I feel huge already and do not remember this with baby number one. Have you tried the hair tie trick? I used that for a while before breaking out the belly band. 

    If it weren't summer break, I would be rocking the maternity wear as well.

    Stay comfortable!

    I am also huge at around 5 weeks. Like noticeably big, and cannot wear a lot of my clothes. Like PPs said, it's all bloat at this phase.

    I use a rubber band to fasten my pants. Not sure how it is supposed to be done, but I put it through the hole, and then put both ends around the button. It works for me. I imagine this is the same as the hair tie trick. I also have been using a belly band with it to make it more secure.

    It's pretty similar to what you do, but I loop it through the hole and then pull it through the hair tie and loop one side onto the button. Gives a little more length to it that way. Hope my explanation and attempt at quoting works!
