nothing fits

GoMommy · October 2015

4 weeks and already clothes i brought 2 to 3 weeks ago are too tight. I expected bloat but goodness i feel so fat. Sorry just a vent. i swear i already look 4 months pregnant

I feel ya. With my first, I didn't wear maternity pants until 16-20 weeks. Today is my DD's 2nd birthday party, and I'm rocking maternity jeans at 7w4d. Bloat is real, people.

I am doing the hair tie trick and I'm ready to take my jeans off and put on some PJ's.the bloating is the worst!

berky84 · October 2015

I'm 6w4d and my bloat is out of control. The scale has barely changed but none of my pants comfortably fit anymore. I may be getting some maternity pants a lot sooner than I planned.

I have to travel for work 3 of the next 6 weeks and all I could think about this weekend is how I refuse to sit on a plane with my bloated butt squeezed in too small pants! So 6w5d and already bought maternity pants!

goldie987 · October 2015

My pants have been getting tighter too but oddly, I've actually lost a few lbs. Damn bloat.

DeePaddy24 · October 2015

I'm in the same boat! I was using the hair tie trick & ended up buying some belly bands this weekend so I can make it through the next work week a bit more comfortably. The bloat is out of control!

Hair ties, Bella bands, and yoga pants are your friend!

Ugh I hear you! I showed pretty quickly the first time around, but this is ridiculous. I have no idea how to keep this a secret at work for another month.

I'm lucky that I'm a teacher and I'll have the week of thanksgiving off and two weeks for Christmas. Three less weeks to hide, and with this time of year I can blame it on too many cookies. I just bought a bra extender off amazon and I was browsing maternity pants with the tiny side elastics but they're all more $ than I wanted. At least I only look chubby and not pregnant. Ha.

queenklau · October 2015

Yes ladies, this bloat is real!!! At 5-7 weeks my pants would feel sooo tight by the end of the day. I am finally in the acceptance stage (at 8w today) and ordered a bela band and button extenders! I hope those will help me get through the next month or so.

BOH1025 · October 2015

Yep! Had date night lastnight and could not find one single outfit that did not make me look like a whale.

youenjoymyself · October 2015

Maxi skirts and cardigans are your friend.

Renomomma · October 2015

I live in belly bands for work. They kinda look like a tank/ camisole on the bottom which helps. Not sure how much longer I can hide twins...

VintageGinger222 · October 2015

I bought some cute maternity pants from target and have been rocking those. Plus we are currently moving. Bloat plus needing comfy clothes I gave in.

MynaBird · October 2015

Right now I wish I could skip straight to Obviously Visibly Pregnant so I could stop having to try to look normal.

Normannicole920 · October 2015

I feel ya! The bloat is no joke!! I've got maternity leggings already and a belly band and hair tie. I've lost weight since being prego but I sure don't look it!! Lol

Hahaha I was just thinking this same thing today

Linsbins · October 2015

Yet this is me anyway...

...although I've only actually had ice cream once. Mostly snacking on fruits but from the way my pants fit I might as well just be on a steady diet of ice cream.

MrsAshton310 · October 2015

What are these belly bands?? I'm only 5w with my first baby, I am so bloated, so tired and I just look like I had a really big dinner, I didn't think I'd show this early on .

lbridges27 · October 2015

Nothing fits! This morning I put on my go-to elastic banded dress for fat/bloated days and it's too small. I'm only 7wks today. Guess it's time to shopping!

Google Bella Band. It looks kinda like a tube top but u wear it around your waist/hips when u can't button or zip your pants to hold them up LOL much more comfy than trying to squeeze yourself in those jeans. I'm 5 weeks and already wear one because of the bloat everyone is talking about! There are store brands that are cheaper, I bought mine at Wal-Mart, and Target has them too.

berky84 · October 2015

Pro-tip: You can also get the function of a belly band with a supportive, fitted, long tank top/camisole

jmorgan2220 · October 2015

None of my pants fit.. yoga pants are my saving grace right now. I'm only 7 weeks and I already need maternity pants.

B2FlyGirl · October 2015

I'm so glad I'm not alone! I thought I was going crazy when I already couldn't fit into my clothes after 6w with the bloat. I opted to hit a consignment store (Clothes Mentor is my fav!) and buy some new clothes just a size up. They're a little baggy now, but feel amazing. Spent $100 and got 3 pairs of pants and 4 tops! I'll have to look into the Bella band now.

shainaellis · November 2015

I'm 9 weeks now and things are starting to get a little snug and I just look like I've gained weight....I'm ready to be out of this awkward stage haha :-B

missbianca84 · November 2015

Thank goodness for yoga pants! Luckily, cool weather is here- so it's leggings and big sweater dresses or tunics for me.

CassGRFH · November 2015

I had to start using the hair tie trick on my jeans around the 6 week mark. I can still do a lot of my pants up, but the pressure from the waistband while sitting at work was making me nauseas. I wore a pair of side zip pants unzipped under a long sweater on Friday, and I'm only at 9 weeks.

I love clothes mentor! I get all of my work clothes from there. I forgot they sold maternity. I know what I'm doing on my lunch break tomorrow!

B2FlyGirl · November 2015

Finally gave into the hair tie trick today! Excited to still wear some of my fav pants for a little while longer.

There's a Clothes Mentor opening up near me and I'm so excited! I can't wait to check it out!
