[sahmof2girls]

[ellymay]

I have been extremely bloated I look like I am 4 months preggo and my pants are tight on my belly bc I am so bloated.

[bloominmamas]

I have been wearing my belt below my bloat and I have been feeling tender. You are not alone

[Mamazon]

Not yet... well my pants have gotten tighter but I suspect the sheer amounts of food I have been eating the past few weeks. I am already fluffly so I won't look pregnant till later.

I do think it will happen soon. With #3 everything was too tight at 8 weeks.

[flapjack]

Yep- another fluffy mama at the best of times, but my waist has definitely thickened.

[Jezzy]

I have some bloating going on too. I will have to have the kids take a pic when I tell them:

[Jlcampbellkidz]

I started needing more roomy clothes around 8 weeks last time and so looked prego by 12 weeks.
This is #4 so I guess anything is possible. Just lost about 25 pounds in the last couple of months too so wondering if I will plump up fast.

Not really feeling bloated at the moment though. Still seems so early. Give me a week or two. I am sure I'll have a good prego pic by 8 or 12 weeks.

WOW! I did not even realize you could have bloating so eary due to pregnancy. I just thought I was bloated from eating some salty mexican food!

I have totally been having some belly bloat.

[Carlito's_wife]

Yup. I have a lot of bloat right now. So much for trying to hide what's going on. This is #3 and the last 2 made my stomach a little pudgy so any kind of bloat is going to make me look about 3 or 4 months along. I remember last time at about 2 months I was as big as another woman at my work who was 6 months. But it was her first. As we all know if you have been pregnant in the past your body just kinda goes "Oh this again" around 8 weeks it's time to do some maternity shopping. My little sis just had another one and I remember coming home when she was about two and a half months along but it made me gasp because she looked like she had swallowed a melon already.

I don't know about you guys but I for one can't wait to show. I give it about 4 more weeks and I will deffinantly get the special treatment. I love it. :

Another fluffy girl here. I had just lost a little bit of weight and was enjoying the way my clothes were fitting. Such is life. But I would much rather have a bloated baby belly than be miss fancypants in my cute old clothes.

My cat just took a smelly poop in the office litterbox and I may hurl. Guess I'm done on the computer!

Major bloating here too, and I am only a little over 4 weeks. I can't button my pants, so I have to rely on elastic waist skirts. It isn't just bloating though. I definitely have a little baby bump. Is that possible?

The reason I am so sure is because I have a scar right above my pubic bone from my appendectomy from years ago. That scar is now indented and there is a clear defining line though it. Sorry, it is kinda hard to explain, but I noticed it about 2 days ago. It looks so strange, but it makes me excited.

Went clothes shopping last night - nothing fit me right (unless you count knit tops). I'll probably have to start getting a few maternity bottoms by the end of month.

[nolonger]

I picked up a pair of (size large) yoga pants and a long smock, hoping that they would work for "interim" clothing. I'm positively bursting at the seams already! Most of my jeans are cut low (I tend to put weight on in my belly anyway) sop they may or may not be okay for awhile, but they require long shirts and I'm losing length rapidly with these boulders on my chest! I went to the thrift store that has maternity clothes yesterday and everything was positively yucky, which was a disappointment, because I LOVE the styles maternity clothes come in these days. I'm going to go ahead and check out a couple of consignment stores this week. If I could afford it and if I wasn't trying to keep things more or less under wraps until I pass the twelve-week mark, I'd be all ready for stretchy knits, tunics, and comfortable, fun clothes.

Another fluffy mama here...I'm down 5-6 lbs since pre-preg. I always lose weight in early pregnancy and my nausea whenever I eat anything isn't helping! This is #5 for me in 8.5 years, so I'm expecting to need maternity clothes SOON and should look 8 months pregnant by the time I reach 15 weeks - like last time!

[ShanghaiMama]

Hmmm...that's an interesting comment about your scar, phillybama. I have an old war wound (aka c-sect scar) that I noticed is doing some odd things in the past few days. It went from barely notiable to suddenly looking much more defined and the color is changing. I don't know why I didn't make the connection, but you are probably right about it relating to the expanding belly...

[smarie]

I find that drinking Magnesium tea really helps with bloat and constipation. I too already feel that my stomach may explode though!!

[flapjack]

I bought a couple of pairs of thai fishermans pants to see me through for a while. It is so nice to have trousers that fit round my waist, instead of digging in!

[guestmama9972]

I didn't know you could be bloated this early, either. Last night I had on a baby-doll style shirt and I thought, " Good grief! This shirt makes me look pregnant!" But then I did the pregnancy test before bed and realized that it wasn't the shirt. I am definitely bloated. What the heck? I didn't have this with the other two. A whole new adventure!
