Anyone have an expanding waistline already?  

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
I am noticing it a bit now. I still fit in my clothes for now, but I've definitely lost the flat belly and waistline. I wonder how long until I'll need maternity clohtes.

Yuppers. This is pregnancy #4 for me. A pair of my pants I already can't button up, I have to walk around with a long top on to hide the open fly/zipper :P I have 1 shirt that fits me in the top. I think on Thursday I am going to invest in some expanders for my pants and maybe a few tops. My husband (Ben) has already noticed my waist is expanding a bit. I'm not thin, but somehow it's already noticable. I would post a picture, but I am so conscious about my weight I HATE having a picture taken of any part of my body BUT my face LOL!

This is #5 for me, but no, not yet. It'll happen much quicker, but at only 4 weeks, there is no difference yet. By 8 weeks or so I'm noticing a change.

Mine is ALL mental! My pants still fit me just fine, but when I sit down the waist band cuts in a little and it really bothers me now that I know something is in there so anytime I'm sitting down I unbutton my pants for my mental well being not physical

It's so hard to tell for me... I feel a little more pudgy than normal, but that could be bloating, or my lack of exercise over the last few weeks. My pants still fit though.

I can't WAIT until I have a definite baby bump

I feel it a bit. Mostly when I am sitting.

Little tummy...but then again, little tummy was there after my second and didn't quite ever go away

after my first, i nursed her and lost all the weight in just a few weeks... after the second, which i also nursed, but the weight stayed on and i am still holding onto the baby fat three years later ugh...

yeah, wish nursing would do it for me! i'm nursing two and still kept the weight. someone told me that the extra weight is there to store up good stuff (fat? not sure what it was) due to the nursing...or something like that. obviously i didn't quite get all the details, but sounded good to me! lol

I have a few pair of pants that don't fit anymore. Mine is all bloat, though. I won't get a *real* baby bump for another few months thanks to my extra padding.

Maybe. I think my shorts are a bit more snug than they were a couple weeks ago. Or it could just be my imagination. lol

Definitely. My pants were very comfortable - almost loose - on me until a couple of days ago. Now they are a little snug, esp when sitting down as others mentioned. Also I am *incredibly* bloated down there. Like 3x as much as during AF.

I definitely have a rounder tum, not that it was flat to start with! It is probably a bit of bloating but I don't care. I am looking forward to having a real sticky out bump soon!

This is true for many people, and I am one of them. I hold onto the weight until my babe weans or is down to maybe one nighttime nursing and then the weight drops off.

I am bloated, more than AF. But I've got some belly pudge to begin with. I can't wait till I have the excuse of being well into my pregnancy.

Nothing for me yet, I'm carrying around 10-15 extra pounds right now anyway. Can't wait! Sometimes when I do sit, by waistband bothers me.
