Why in heck?!?!?!

Pooching already???

I took a bath last night and looked down to see a pooch. There's literally like a line from where it goes flat just on my pelvic bone and where it goes out into the POOCH. A pooch that I can't suck in. I haven't started this thing at my firmest and thinest, but I know that a few days ago when I layed down on my back my stomach sunk *in*. I remember this distinctly because it's something I do regularly and for fun, seeing my stomach curve in again albeit through the powers of gravity. I am only 7 weeks! I haven't been eating because of terrible nausea so I know I haven't gained weight yet, and still there's a pooch. A soft flabby pooch. How unfair is that?

Please, someone join me soon!

The joys of having baby number 4--yes, I'm sticking out too . Or maybe it's having a baby past age 30. Either way, I'm not even 7 weeks yet and have a pooch that wasn't there a few weeks ago.

yep, i'm already unbuttoning my jeans when i sit at the computer, lol!

Thank you for joining me! It's no where near enough to keep me out of my regular clothes or anything, but I can't help but worry about how close that is since it's already noticable. My belly is just so well practiced. :

I'm sad to say that, indeed, I have a bump too. I probably wasn't in the best of shape to begin with, so now that I'm preg. with #3, I think my stomach muscles just pre-emptively gave up. My pants definitely don't fit, and my shirts are feeling a bit short. I pulled my maternity clothes out of storage and some fit, others seem a bit big. Mostly, I'm wearing my husband's clothes right now.

I do think it is a bit unfair. With my first pregnancy I couldn't wait to show - which didn't happen until about week 20. Now, I'd really like to not show for a bit longer, and well, I've had a bump for the past week.

: This is baby #1 for us (well, pregnancy #2, but the last one didn't take) and already I am Mrs. Bloat. I have a pooch as well, and it doesn't go down when I lay down. And I was pretty toned when this all started!

I think mine has to do with intestinal stuff though. You know, the really glamorous stuff like gas and constipation and gas...

that's too funny and I'm sticking with that story too, though I can still fit into the few pair of pants that I got back into after ds (then the pg that mc-ed). A couple of months ago I started working full time on the new house and consequently had dropped about 10 lbs without really trying, guess I don't have to worry about that happening anytime soon

(and a, well umm, I'm in agreement with this... I guess )

I have a pooch too. I a little bit of one before but I can't such this one in. My regular pane were already pushing it before I got pregnant I can't wear them anymore, with the exception of a couple pairs of pants. If I am going to be around the house all day I throw on some comfy maternity clothes and reserve the things that still fit for when I go into public.

Nursing tops seem to help a little since they seem to be a little longer.

Pooching out here too. Yesterday I gave up on my pants and have resigned myself to wearing sweats for a while.

The gas and constipation dosen't help either. Plus I have always showed early. I was in maternity clothes with my first at 16 weeks. By 11 weeks with my second, so I knew I wasn't going to wearing my own clothes for long.

Yep, pregnancy #6 (baby #4) and I have the bloaty-bump at 6 weeks.

Oh yeah, I have a major belly already. My stomach has never been flat, but now it is definitely sticking way out. I didn't lose all of my baby weight after #1 3.5 years ago and I think my c/s messed up my abs too.

And once I got the + result, I quit trying to suck it in

Still managing with elastic waist pants (not maternity yet). I was hoping to get out of the xl stretchy clothes I've been wearing for the last 4 years, but looks like they'll be sticking around for a couple years longer.
