? to those already wearing maternity clothes:

[Maple Leaf Mama]

Have you gained weight or is it just the growing tummy?
I'm mid way through week 2. Early, I know. But I SWEAR my jeans are feeling a bit tighter in the crotch crease area. And I work out almost every day! So I'm wondering if those who are wearing maternity clothes already have only just started expanding but weigh the same, or have started gaining weight?

I have gained a few pounds, but really I gained it right at the beginning; while I was on vacation in Italy and over Christmas. It wasn't baby weight, that's for sure . My abdomen is bigger out of proportion to the overall few extra pounds. I can feel my uterus in my abdomen, where it wasn't there before. It's also my third, so everything is "blowing up" more quickly. Someone actually reached out and rubbed my belly today : .

I gained some weight before I found out I was pregnant. I just felt hungry all the time. I can still fit into my pants...but they are tight around the crotch area. I am now wearing my transition pants which I wore after I had the baby. They are a little loose but they are more comfortable.

This is my third and my tummy area is sticking out more. I will probably be in maternity clothes in a few weeks.

I've gained "only" 5 lbs, but my belly area has gained 4 inches! I measured yesterday. I am guessing most of that is bloat (I'm only 8 weeks), but YIKES! No wonder my pants don't fit.

I haven't gained any weight yet - I'm only 5 weeks though. My belly pouches out I think. With my first I probably gained 5-8 pounds!!!! before I even realized I was pregnant - I was SO hungry all the time!
