This is SOO me. I was at my lightest since freshman year of college at the end of May and working out a lot. I'd wager I've gained at least 15lbs since then I'm so ready to break out maternity pants due to that + the bloat...

The Prometrium I'm on is (TMI) giving me some awful bloat/gas/digestive upset, and I'm sure that is contributing. But ugh... I would like to make it at least another month before I have to break out maternity wear!
Me too! Gosh, my belly is sticking out so far I started shopping for maternity pants.

I pulled out my Bella Band today.... I didn't like it at all with the last pregnancy (like a pp said, it rode up, pants fell down...) but today it's doing the trick. I'm already finding the skin of my stomach is SO tender, though. Waistbands suck! lol That and standing at the sink to do dishes... I'd forgotten how much that hurt last time and then this week, it was like, woah! my tummy canNOT touch the edge of the counter while I wash!

I too have already pulled out the Bella Band to buy a little more time in some of my pants for work. If I'm not working I'm living in my yoga pants. Way more comfortable for sure.

This is #4, and I'm not showing. Of course, my stomach is no where near flat due to three other pregnancies. Plus, I've always been Rubenesque... 18/20. Jeans still fit just fine.

In a way, I'm glad, because I'm waiting on telling people until after I see the OB next week.

I'm having this major purge urge. Like, I want to give at least half of everything in the house to the Goodwill. It's so cluttered.

I've been visited by the boob fairy, which is nice because I usually don't have much without being pregnant, lol.

Mine didn't get bigger with my DD. I was nursing my son at the time and it didn't seem like they got bigger until after I weaned him, around 20 weeks. I'm not sure if that is typical or not. I also didn't gain any weight until after he weaned, though.

My boobs HURT today, man did they hurt. I picked up a bella band too, hoping to stretch the life of my poor pants. My symptoms seem to vary in their intensity, but my bloated tummy by about 4pm seems to be consistent.

What's up with the bloated tummy by 4? I have that too. I feel like I start off the morning looking "normal" and then by 3:30 or 4 p.m. my belly looks preggers!

I had to buy a bigger bra. My regular sized ones were killing me.
My pants still fit fine, but I hate the pressure on my belly. My belly is so sore.

I don't know but man, I hate this! I weighed myself on Thursday and I gained 5lbs from 7am to 11pm. I'm not clear how that is possible? It was all gone again by morning, just to start the cycle all over again. Humph... (crosses arms and pouts)

I thought that it was pretty normal (even when not pregnant) to fluctuate like that with weight throughout the day.

I've been wearing a belly band, when I'm not in pajama pants, because it is so uncomfortable to button my jeans. I'm busting out the maternity pants this weekend. I hadn't planned on doing it this early, but comfort wins! I don't look pregnant yet, just looks like I hit the Christmas cookies a little too hard. Which I kind of did , so I'm sure that is contributing as well.

I've actually been wearing maternity pants at least half the time since I was pregnant last They are so comfy! Plus I hate buying new clothes, and I all my non-maternity pants that I can wear to work were trashed.

I might have also been hoping that it would be a waste of money to buy non-maternity clothing
