Soooo...Who Looks pregnant?

[Jade2561]

I am seriously bloated beyond belief. My body is like, "Oh, I've done this before...I'm supposed to grow out." I'm normally very thin (size 3) so I can tell big time. I'm in maternity pants and I'm only 5 WEEKS! Yikes! It is kind of cool, since I didn't show forever with dd (that was back when I had abs). Am I the only one here - I'm beggining to think I have quads in there! :lol

[PancakeGoddess]

yep, "my body has done this before" times 4... :lol

I feel like my tummy is sticking out but I put on my skinny jeans and they fit fine and I had just washed 'em. Wondering how long it will be before I show...

[beautyful]

I can wear the first-tri (wide elastic band) pants pretty comfortably, but I'm still in my regular jeans too. I feel super-bloated though!

I've gained 2 inches in my waist just in the past week!

[luckymama]

i had to step away from my regular pants and into low rise or maternity at 5 weeks, too. i just got thick around the middle ... no weight gain or anything, just added inches to my belly. it's kinda freaky, really.

[Roots]

Oh yes. Only 5 weeks and my regular pants are very snug. I would like to wait until 3 months before announcing the pregnancy, but it looks like it will be announcing itself!

I'm counting the minutes till I show, but nothing! I have defined abs so it may take a little bit for my belly to poke out! Its locked in!
I also lost my digital camera :angry and I'm dying to take a belly picture to start the sequence of belly pictures. I'm going to beg dh to go out this weekend and buy us a new digital!

Lotus, this is your first, right? It may be a whiiiile...I hardly showed at ALL until 6 months! I have a long torso and had a strong belly too.

THIS TIME? People have asked me, no kidding, like four people in the past month, if I'm pregnant (I didn't know I was and was quite upset about looking "fat"). I am shocked. The body is amazing, and it really does just go into preg gear once it's done it before!

[paisley]

I kinda look like what those skinny stick women look like at 4 mos, but it is all leftover from ds. :shy

[lotus.blossom]

elsanne- yes, it is my first and I have a long torso as well as the strong abs.
Oh darn, I was so looking forward to showing! I guess it doesn't matter in winter anyway being all bundled up in sweaters and coats. By spring I'll be able to revel in the glory of the belly!

[HotMama1221]

my belly is so bloated but regular pants still fit.

:cuss to all of you who have "abs" and flat belly's. i still have my mommy belly and the 30 lbs from PG #1! ( im only half kidding ;) )

[1stTimeMummytoLore]

i'm not so much pooching out, but my regular pants are snug and when i wear them, i get wicked heartburn. so i switched to some early maternity pants. i have plenty of pants, but i'm going to need long sleeve shirts and sweaters this time. DD was a spring/summer pregnancy. we are also planning on keeping this little bean under wraps for a little while with my family, but i guess we'll see what my body thinks about that.
