Fat pants ALREADY!?!

OSMmom · September 2013

Ugggg.... I'm already feeling totally confined in my work pants!!! I'm 4w and already popped a stretch mark last night (I think, never got them with DD even with the 75lb weight gain, and full weight loss thank god!) my new OB will kill me if I gain that much this round!
Anybody else feeling strangely big already!?!

The hair tye trick has been a blessing when the bloat hits. Other than that, Ive been wearing yoga pants and hoping no one notices that they're not dress pants.

Eh don't let the bloat get you down. I plan to invest in maternity pants early this go around. I held out way too long with my son and I could have been comfortable the whole damn time.

I'm wearing maternity pants today. I'm miserable enough without struggling with too tight pants because of bloat. Ain't no shame in my game.

Ladiebug710 · September 2013

The bloat is awful, but last time I remember it going away around 10 weeks and I was back in my regular pants comfortably for a few more weeks.

OSMmom · September 2013

My biggest prob is that I run a catering dept. and have to wear a typical black pants, white shirt tucked it, belt ensamble EVERYDAY! It is so unflattering, uncomfortable, and getting hard to hide(haven't told anybody yet) so I can't just show up in maternity pants... Lol

ABColeslaw · September 2013

ooh boo, that is rough. You can't even get cute black mat pants because the panel would show.

I am investing in some maternity pants within the next couple days, I can't button anything already!

@blitz1712 - I think you are talking about the BeBand. They sell them at target. Definitely a help if you want to put off wearing maternity pants for awhile.

Shamefully, I still wear some of my maternity clothes from my last pregnancy.

OSMmom · September 2013

LOVED the band last go round... Until my a$$ got too big for normal pants! Lol it's the tucked in shirt and belt that is really bogging me down right now... Just need to get past my first appt on Friday, plan on breaking the news to the bosses on Monday.
Luckily I work for the state and they will make accommodations for my comfort!

*Raises Hand* started wearing mine this weekend

scared the crap out of me. I was thinking like 3-4 months. I bought a bellyband today at target as well to hopefully fit my skirt for work. Although if I'm growing 2 I feel like I'm going to get big quick......uh oh.

OSMmom · September 2013

And... At the end of your day, after work and jury duty, and before you have to pick up DD, you get to change into yoga pants(que the angles singing!) pest.part.of.the.day.!

I am so bloated! Luckily, I wear scrubs to work and they are pretty bloat friendly. But nights/weekends I mostly hang out in my PJs.

this. I've been wearing my maternity pants already - it's not worth it to try and hold out while being uncomfortable.

Ldmoulton · September 2013

Wow! You guys make me feel better. I am only 5 weeks 4 days and I swear I look/feel huge!!! How could this be?!? Loving my pjs! Even pulled out mg favorite Santa pjs! (I am sure my hubby loves that!)

bridetobe9132013 · September 2013

Yes, I feel the same way. I can't fit in my jeans already, I'm about 4 weeks 2 days with my first baby. I am getting married Friday and can't fit in my wedding dress either. i have been achy, crampy, and nausea started the day my period was due. I have a feeling this pregnancy may be rough.

JenRobuck4 · September 2013

I'm 4w 4d and thought I was being crazy thinking my clothes already didn't fit! So glad I'm not alone!

sarahlynnc317 · September 2013

I'm getting married Oct 26th. I've purchased my dress already and have no clue if it will even fit by then.

Marcella05 · September 2013

My 'fat jeans' are getting tight. This bloating is horrible.

tbiscuit18 · September 2013

I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone. I started crying this morning because none of my pants fit. I have been feeling awful about myself all day. I'm just not ready for the big, bloated uncomfortable feeling.

Dancejennie · September 2013

I'm 4 weeks, 4 days and I too have the bloat and constipation that makes me look preggo :0(

rMe6411 · September 2013

I'm 6 weeks now and had a friend say I already look in that awkward "is she pregnant or gaining weight?"stage. This is a very close friend so no hard feelings. With DD I couldn't button my pants at 12 weeks so I went to maternity. This time I'm thinking about busting out my maternity line now. Plus, I would rather be comfortable!

Nicolette2323 · September 2013

I think my belly is all poop! I can barely go...

I invested in some belly bands. It's so much more comfy but makes your belly look more pregnant.

cursetta · September 2013

I'm soooo glad I saw this post. I started wearing my fat pants at 5w 4d and felt like a balloon! Glad to know it's super normal (it's my first) and hoping the bloat subsides a little soon.
