I feel it's a bit early for this..

But I went to kohls tonight to buy some bigger pants. 20% off coupon helped ease the pain.

This bloat is no joke. Didn't help that my pants were a bit snug to start with. Ugh!

Re: I feel it's a bit early for this..

  • I was just about to post a discussion like this! Lol I was wondering if anyone else was already experiencing a "belly bulge" my pants are sooo tight and I'm only 7 weeks, that never happened with my first baby. I was in size 6 jr's jeans until I was 7months along. Now my sweats are even tight. ): boo

  • yup, i'm in pants today that are a size bigger than i normally wear.  my regular size doesn't fit anymore unless i unbutton and unzip a bit :)
  • I'm on vacation this week in sweats, bathing suits and dresses... Slightly scared to put my work pants back on next week. I'll have gone from 7w6d to 9w3d not having any buttoning pants. And with #2.

  • I love living in south MS all the summer clothes are on sale right now because it's technically about to be "fall" but around here our fall is still pretty much summer, and our "winter" is like everyone else's "fall." So I can wear the discounted summer dresses that are so cheap right now for probably another 2 months it won't get cool til November :D Guess I'm going shopping for a size bigger.
  • Man, this is depressing. I just ran a 1/2 marathon before my treatments started and I was a size 4. Fast forward 2 months and I'm struggling to fit in a size 6 (what I actually mean is I DON'T fit in a size 6). I'm only 8 weeks. I'm not ready for maternity clothes! ::throws a temper tantrum::

  • Me too bloat big time and uterus expanding. I already bought two belly bands and wear with my jeans unzipped with a looser tee no more tight racer backs no longer looks the same but that is okay : ).
  • I bought a pair of mat jeans at old navy today! At least I'll get a good long life out of them!! It's my second too and I'm tired of being uncomfortable. Thank goodness for dresses!

  • I actually don't think I've even put on pants since the BFP. Guess we'll see when I have to go back to work next week... I'm even more terrified of trying on the tiny bridesmaid dress I'm supposed to wear in October.

  • I was just about to ask if I was crazy or if my belly Gould already be growing at 7 weeks.... My pants are still fitting but my stomach seems to be getting bigger by the day... It's like my food isn't digesting..

  • Whew. I thought I was just getting fat in general bc I thought its too early to buy clothes.
  • I've been wearing sweat pants lately. I miss my jeans already

    I was just about to post about this! I've been wearing my pants unbuttoned all day, they are so uncomfortable!
  • Jeans unbuttoned (held together by looping a hair tie over the button an through the hole and back to the button), dress pants went to the next size already. & Tshirts it is :/
  • I already dug out my maternity jeans from my first and am wearing them. Everything is just too tight and uncomfortable.

  • So glad to see other people have this too! I'm only 5 weeks and I feel like I have a huge bump! I haven't had to change pants yet though, however sweat pants always sound better. :) At this rate I'll be huge in the upcoming weeks! That, or I'm having multiples..........

  • Okay totally feeling the same way. This is my second pregnancy ANSI feel likeit already uncomfortable in my work pants :/
  • Yes!!! I am only 7 weeks and I have been fighting with my closet all week. This is baby number two and at times I feel like I look like I did at 20 weeks with her!! Ugh...

  • I'm so glad I read this!! I should be 6w 3d but I already feel my belly is huge. I am so bloated!! I am working out 3x week and walk 30mins 3x week. My first pregnancy I didn't workout at all and ended up losing almost everything after delivery (6 lbs left).

    Same here with the pants.... But my bigger problem is shirts! I normally like a somewhat fitted shirt, not skin-tight but definitely not "flowy." Well, since maternity jeans do nothing to "reign in" the stomach, I have a major bump when wearing my regular shirts. I caught a side view of myself in the bathroom mirror at work and was like, well, they all probably know now...
  • Yup, cracked out the maternity jeans today. Didn't need them till about 22 weeks with number one. Luckily I wear scrubs to work so still have a lot of mileage left there.
  • Maxi skirts and dressed are clutch! Just bought some maternity stuff from kohls as well (online) and they are the most comfortable clothing...ever!

  • I lost about 15 pounds before I got pregnant, so fortunately I have some larger sizes hanging in my closet :-)   I've definitely used the rubber band trick though, and I've even bought a bella band though it's too soon to start using it yet.

  • I'm wearing leggings. LOL, I've got bloat and I've just decided leggings are here to stay. For awhile. Its already extremely cool and fall like here, so, I can hide under big sweaters already. I'd rather it be a bump, but, I'll take bloat for awhile if it leads to a bump :-D

  • I'm pregnant with my second child. I just want to give some advice to people that are going to be in wedding parties... When you try on your dress make sure you sit down!!! I didn't and so when it came time for the reception I couldn't sit to save my life! The dress fit me fine standing up but I couldn't sit to eat!
  • I can still wear regular shorts but they are so uncomfortable.  I am fighting myself because I really don't want to start on maternity clothes yet!
  • I'm six weeks and I look as big as I was at 10-12 weeks with my DD. jeans are out of the question already so it's just been yoga pants to work every day. It stinks though because I am the queen of float dresses and I can't wear them to work. Only on the weekends!
