Anyone else already out of "regular" clothes? - Page 2

How I wish I had taken a picture a couple weeks ago! I too have a belly now, where I didn't before. What's up with that? I am only at seven weeks and know for sure I didn't start showing until much later the first time around (I guess that's how it goes)...

My vanity is a little hurt though. I lost twenty pounds in the last several months since we went on the caveman diet to help with ds's allergies -- it is discouraging to be going the other way already : I not only look bigger but have gained a couple pounds -- how many pounds are you supposed to gain in the first trimester? Like, none?

Well, today I bought some maternity pants. I am so bloated that my jeans won't button unless I do the lay on my back an suck in my breath. And I feel a little weird doing that now. LOL They are so comfy! Granted they won't last me more than a few months, but it's so worth it!

I just look super bloated- like my period is due anyday. I usually get really bloated- very noticeable right before AF visits.
I was in a size 18W last winter and since I've started exercising, I'd ALMOST gotten into a size 14- was sticking with 16 because they fit nice. My one pair of 16 jeans are starting to get a little bit tight.
Luckily I should be able to wear all my 18 size clothes. My maternity clothes from last time are absolutely HUGE- I should be able to wear the shirts, but I think the pants will be too big. Bummer because I had 2 really cool pair of maternity jeans.
I will have to break down and buy some new maternity bras though. I've re-worn the same 4 (plus a couple extra bras) for the last 3 and a half years- they've got holes in them :
They are SO comfy though. DS breastfed for a little over 3 years, but I just can't seem to stop wearing them- they look like moths have been eating at them!

Well, my jeans don't button, so I went out and bought 2 stretchy tees and 2 pr of yoga pants to go with the other stretchy stuff I own.

I'm 7w4d and having twins, so I'm expecting to pop out pretty soon. Not to mention this is my 6th pregnancy.......

I'm about ten and a half weeks along and two or three weeks ago my old pants became unwearable.. I've found some great sweatpants at Target that have no waistband whatsoever, just a drawstring... Sooooo comfy. I bought two pairs and I wear them all the time

I'm eight weeks and just pulled out all my maternity pants from last pregnancy..... i cant believe i'm showing allready. i havent gained any weight in the last few weeks, but somehow I've got a tummy and none of my old pants fit....

Since it IS the beginning of cold weather and I haven't worn my jeans for almost a year I'm having a hard time deciding wether or not they don't fit because..
a) I'm bigger than I was last year (baby or no baby in the oven)
b) The jeans are kind of shrunken.. I notice this about clothes, if you don't wear them for a while, especially denim, they do shrink a bit. Or am I hallucinating?
c) maybe I do have a belly?
I'm a little more than 7 weeks. I think I am basically thicker. I used to be somewhat narrow if I looked at myself from the side, now I'm kind of. Thick. Blah.
I had to unbutton my pants while we were out eating last weekend and I had to wrap my jacket around myself so no one saw my undies lol!
I think I'll start taking pictures this weekend although I do wish I had been doing it from the get go.
I notice that I *think* I am popping out a little if I look at stomach from above (like looking down on it). Other than that I haven't even really had that little ball pop up in the morning if I haven't gone to the bathroom yet. That makes me nervous because I think I should be growing and that's one of the ways I can guage it since I got the uterus ball going on in each of my early pregnancies. I probably shouldn't worry.
But yeah, I'm worried about what I'm going to wear shortly. I'm going to have to buy some sweats for sure that are "nice" (maybe those Target ones!!), and for when I work I may have to buy some maternity pants, but they'll be too big!
This is really an awkward time especially being that the seasons just changed.
TTFN!

I lost about twenty pounds over the spring and summer and had the delightful experience of going from "big jeans" to tighter jeans, to buying a new pair of jeans a size smaller -- when I got pregnant. Now there are just one pair of jeans that feel good. All of my maternity clothes are still packed away at my mom's house -- never thought I'd need them this early! (I am eight weeks along.)

BTW, I like the theory that things shrink when they are in storage -- works for me!
