Anyone else's pants getting tight?

[rebeccalizzie]

DH swears I'm just bloated and have gas (pleasant thought, thanks ) but I now have one pair of pants that won't button, and an elastic waist pair that is now too uncomfortable at my waist, so I'm wearing it down around my hips.

Am I nuts? I'm also starving to death all.day.long, which may be the answer to why my pants are tight!

[peilover010202]

rebeccalizzie - yep, I feel that way too. I have one pair of pants that were LOOSE before BFP and now they fit perfectly. Another pair that fit perfectly and I'm, umm, having to suck in to get them zipped. How can this be already?

[the_lissa]

Yes me too! I can't believe it.

[reiterin]

I've been eating nonstop, so it'll happen to me soon I'm sure.

With my first dc my pants stopped buttoning at around 3 or 4 WEEKS! My hips turned out really early for some reason, and nothing fit LONG before I looked pregnant. This time around though, everything still fits at 6 weeks.....

Phew, at least I'm not *totally* crazy (well, yeah I am, but not about this )

I figured I'd show a *little* sooner this time, since I'm older and this is my second child, but sheesh! I could wear my regular clothes for at least the first trimester with DD! And it's been 10 years since I had her, so it's not like my muscles haven't recovered by now

[the_lissa]

Yeah I wore my regular clothes for at least 5 months last time.


Anyone know good places to get maternity bathing suits?

[rebeccalizzie]

Oh ugh, I don't even want to think about having to wear a maternity bathing suit. I think I'll just stay out of the pool this summer (which isn't hard for me--I don't particularly like to swim, so I only do it once in a *very* great while)

Not tight exactly, but I'm really not tolerating tight waistbands any more. I keep finding myself sliding the waistband of my undies under my tummy, too.

Swimsuits - I bit the bullet and paid the money at Nordstroms.com last year. I REALLY insisted on a sexy swimsuit - no floucy skirts for me! The one I got is a straight maillot style, with a great neckline that shows off my cleavage. I figure if I'm going to look like a beached whale, I'm going to look like a GIRL whale, at least!

[the_lissa]

I can't go long without swimming in a pool or a lake. I'm debating getting a bikini to give my belly some sun.

Well I'm only 5 weeks 4 days so everything is cool still here. Last time I didn't break out the maternity clothes till 22 weeks so hopefully I last awhile this time too.

I got my suit at Motherhood Maternity and it's actually not that bad, fir me through the entire pregnancy and was a 2 piece (but it covered my belly.) Most likely, I'll use it again this time.

I can relate to the op. My pants started feeling tight b/f I was even preggers (putting on my winter weight)...and now I literally have 2 pairs I can wear.

No maternity clothes till 5 months!!! Even w/ my first, I was in 'em by 3. And transitional clothes long before that.

[the_lissa]

Well I had hg, so I lost a lot of weight at first.

[Robynee]

I'm at 6wks3ds and I've lost a couple of pounds, yet my pants are extremely uncomfortable around the waist. I was wearing regular clothes up til 6 mo last pregnancy. Not gonna happen this time! I've been living in dh's pj pants and just throwing on jeans when i have to leave the house. Right after Christmas I am treating myself to a pair of real-waisted, low-cut maternity jeans.

[Subhuti]

... not buttoning the top botton over here!!

[SlingWearin'Mama]

Put on my black holiday pants today and wowee. I am not sure they'll still fit at Christmas, which is only 8 days away

I am in DH's sweatpants right now and loving it

I was talking about this thread to my mom today (by the way, does anyone else have parents who think message boards are weird? My mom absolutely cannot believe that I actually am in a group of women who are all due the same month. Where *else* can i get a group of women going through the pg stages the same time I am? ) Anyway, she has decided I'm "imagining" my pants being tight. Okayyyy....I'm down another pair, and they are slightly low waisted with spandex in them! I haven't gained weight, but my waist is about an inch and a half bigger--just big enough to make my pants uncomfortable. I'm leaving my top button undone a LOT these past few days! I'm in a pair of silk pajama pants with a thin elastic waist now...heaven!

I did just remember...when I was pg with DD, the way I figured out I was pg is that my favorite jeans wouldn't button. I am *always* the same size...except when I was pg. So now that I think of it, I lost my waist early with her too, and I was 10 years younger then! So I'll be lucky to stay out of maternity clothes for another month. I'm hoping my belly huggers and maybe a pair of transition pants will get me through.
