Belly growing exponentially

lbaker420 · September 2013

Anyone else feel like their belly is much bigger the second+ time around?? At 7 weeks, I look like I'm 4 months pregnant. People are already asking how far along I am, and I feel like I have to lie, just to not hear them say "wow, you're so big already!" Tell me I'm not alone!!

Jered&Gena · September 2013

I have been very bloated also, wors then ever before!

Alaysiasmom · September 2013

I'm also very bloated especially after I eat & look about 4 months along. Your not alone.

czarmom · September 2013

I'm so bloated by the end of the day, my son said, "You're belly is big, you might have a baby in there!" Before he knew about it too.

buggywhips · September 2013

I bloat after I eat, but it isn't too bad. I can't wait to have a belly again!

I think I'm just bloated but holy god I can't button my pants!

jessicastanley · September 2013

Bloat central! Wearing my belly bands already!

ChrissieC · September 2013

I could have written this post exactly! Pregnancy #2 and not sure how I will hide it for a few weeks!

vcusano · September 2013

I'm beyond scared that at 5 weeks I'm already this bloated

By the time I got home last night my pants were cutting off the circulation! I'm with you other ladies, not sure how I'm hiding this one, last time I never started to show till 16 weeks... that's not happening this time

krlovell · September 2013

We just need to embrace it!!! But yes my belly is already starting to look like a baby belly!!! I wore a loose dress yesterday and when I looked in the mirror I couldn't believe how big my belly looked already!

lovelylauren86 · September 2013

I'm the opposite

I was all excited cause I thought I was getting a little bump! Then I pooped and it was gone

I'm a first timer I want my bump already!

yvanehtnioj · September 2013

I actually lost weight this week but somebody forgot to give my pants the memo!

talkthewholetime · September 2013

my pants are tighter now than when i posted before!

MMason12 · September 2013

I am FTM so I am no where close to showing all ready; however, a friend of mine was pregnant last year with her second and she showed much much earlier with her second. By 12 weeks she already looked like she did when she was 6-7 months pregnant with her first.

czarmom · September 2013

I started rubber banding my pants almost immediately after the positive test

It just feels better.

klkrieg · September 2013

I agree! I am not as far along as a lot of you ladies, but my belly is poking out. I am so bloated. Plus my body remembers how this works so is ahead of the game a little!

Brandyjean30 · September 2013

I wore maternity pants today. I don't entirely need them but it is so much more comfortable than belly bands and hair ties on my jeans

Alisam5 · September 2013

I am only 7 weeks too and we are thinking we need to tell everyone soon cause it's getting obvious!

deanna1313 · September 2013

I bloat very easily anyway. Going out to dinner with friends tonight(they don't know) and I'm feeling a little badly about myself because my pants are a little snug today:( stupid, I know!

wendylouwhoknew · September 2013

We aren't telling anybody for as long as possible. I got a bunch of hippy skirts and flowy blouses. Eating super small or grazing has helped with bloating immensely.

Knovak23 · September 2013

Yes! I'm wearing baggy clothes to hide it! I hate this stage of pregnancy where it just looks like you are getting fat. Can't wait until I look pregnant!

Bella61811 · September 2013

I am 5w3d today and my belly looks like it did when I was about 15-16 weeks with DD! It gets worse after I eat. I don't know how I am going to be able to keep it a secret at work for 6ish more weeks if this continues!

abgreene2011 · September 2013

I am just 6 weeks into my second pregnancy. I don't feel very bloated, but am definitely contemplating wearing my maternity pants, as my regular ones are definitely getting snug. I started showing quite early with my first, at around 8 weeks, so am not surprised that I'm showing even earlier this go around. They say it's quite common

rrrowe15 · September 2013

It was only 5 wjs before I broke out some full panel pants. Today I was totally looking pregnant. Haven't gained weight but my belly is out of control!

MunchkinMoon · September 2013

My bloat is ridiculous, no matter what I eat/drink/do. So it's that awkward time where people think I'm just packing on the pounds (is it ever too early to just start wearing maternity clothes and pretend my blump is a bump?)!

acesweet · September 2013

Totally agree! Bloating is outta control. I think it's because our abs aren't as strong as they were our first time. I never regained the stomach muscles I had pre-baby. I read somewhere that it's common for second time moms to carry lower because of this.

lynseyadamson · September 2013

Ha, I could have also written this post! This is my third pregnancy and I'm 8 weeks (we lost a baby in June at 12 weeks) but I look much much further. OH keeps saying I can't hide it much longer cos my belly is sticking out so much, but because I have serious PGAL brain I dont want to. Ive even resorted to complaining at work how much I've been pigging out, and how I need to lose some weight so they think I'm just fat and not pregnant! It worked till a friend suggested going to a Metafit class with her, then I needed excuses why I didn't want to go! Urgh, bring on 12 weeks so I can come clean!

rMe6411 · September 2013

Yes! I already feel huge again. I'm just about 8 weeks now and I look 4 months pregnant. My family got together last night and went out for dinner and a close family friend said if I want to hide it I should wear looser shirts because if she didn't know she would def think I'm pregnant!!!!! I'm trying to wait until 12 weeks to announce so we will see...

danagmauro · September 2013

I am 8 w 2d and the size of my boobs is a def give away I was getting stares at back to school night (I'm a teacher) that were like is she/or are those Fake?

hsal · September 2013

Ugh, me! I feel so big and bloated already (didn't help that I was overweight to being with) but I overheard one of my students whispering to another, asking if I was pregnant!! I haven't told anyone outside of DH and my coteachers so no one else would know! Looks like I will not be wearing anything at all that highlights my belly until I tell my principal!

ckandi007 · September 2013

OMG yes! I'm waaaay more bloaty this time around.

megwuf · September 2013

<------me! This is baby #3 for me and by night time and after eating I definitely look pregnant! Yesterday I broke out my maternity jeans...I'm 7w3days!

FFS go find your own damn Birth Month Board. This one is for ladies due to have their babies in MAY of 2014, and you dear have barely even produced a second line on a pee stick.

Miles2Go · March 2014

You guys are so mean. I'm only 30 weeks but totes look 32 weeks! I can so relate. This bloat is out of control!!!1!!one

sheriot · March 2014

@lp0903 You might just look bloated the whole time. That happens. My coworkers said I looked like I went home and downed a case of Bud Light and two large pizzas until I was about 30w. Fingers crossed you'll get a ginormous belly, though!
