I'm SO bloated. I think I mentioned this in another post somewhere...I took a bath the other day and leaned down to get something from the end of the tub, and I swear it looked like I was 6 mos pg. I know the water distorts everything, but man...that was unpleasant.

i am already wearing maternity clothes!!!!
i am 4.5 weeks
this is #2 adn i
showed real early with #1 tooo.....but yeah,,,,not this big this early!

in a way it is fun though!

[CryPixie83]

Yup me too. It's really common in subsequent pregnancies because the abdomen has already been stretched out (no matter how many sit-ups you've done).

That reminds me, I need to head over to Goodwill, I was tehre a couple months ago and I couldn't stop finding maternity clothes so I'm hoping they'll at least have one pair of maternity pants :lol

[mum2be]

This is my first pregnancy and my jeans are already tight!! I don't feel bloated, but my stomach is definitely bigger! :D

I'm normally a size 2...do you think I could be showing earlier because of my size?

I need to get bigger pants :)

[bohemama]

I hear ya! I'm 6.2 weeks and already in maternity clothes. Kind of embarassing, but at least I like looking preggo LOL. If I ever get pregnant again I have a feeling I'll start showing before I even know I'm pregnant :lol

[Pfeiff99]

Um yes...I'm 7w2d and I swear I look about 3 months along. Every morning my DH looks at the belly and goes, MY GOD WOMAN! Blessidly, the boobs of epic proportions are distracting anyone and everyone else, so my secret is still safe for now.

5 weeks here and just like last time I get more and more bloated as the day progresses. I pee all night long. So in the morning my jeans fit but by 6pm I'm done. Makes for fun dressing!

I had been bloated and constipated for a week or so and was looking very pregnant. I started taking Colon Care for a couple days to get things moving again. Bloating is gone and I don't look 5 months pregnant anymore! :D

[marymamma]

I am about 8 weeks along with #2 and I am already wearing some maternity, just b/c its more comfortable! I think I have 2 pairs of regular jeans that aren't too tight in the waist. A lot of the pants I wore during my 1st pregnancy don't look like maternity pants, so I can get away with it :)

[huggerwocky]

you're telling me that's bloating? :wink

I swear it's the baby!

Must be, I haven't put on much weight, maybe 2 pounds and those only because I'm constipated :eyes

[time4another]

maybe 2 pounds....only because I'm constipated

Really cuz the 2Lbs I've gained so far are from Mr. Lefty (o) and Miss Righty (o) :innocent ...perhaps I've gained more than 2Lbs then :scratch ...judging by the way my jeans fit :lol

Seriously...I'm off on vacation in 4 weeks and I really need to order shorts/capris now, but so don't want to....I'm only 5w2d. I guess the saving grace of all this is that at least its my 3rd DC... :heartbeat

I'm feeling the same way! This is baby #2 for me and I started pooching out at around 5 1/2 weeks-6 weeks. I'm 8 weeks now. I can't wear any of my jeans. I've been living in my work out pants.

[jasmine76]

I thought there was something wrong with me because I'm only in my 8th wk and none of my jeans are fitting, way too tight...:blush
I look like I'm about 4 months, this is my first pregnancy is this normal, if I'm looking like this already what will nine months be like. I feel foolish about getting into maternity clothes already because everyone sais you should'nt have to until your 3 months along :o :o :o
Someone please tell me this is normal.................

[vloky]

I'm the opposite. almost 6 months and barely showing. I WANT BABY BELLY NOT 'I ATE TOO MUCH PIZZA' BELLY! *eats cheese with whine*

[Mimi37]

Are you wearing shirts with empire waists, vloky? Those are key. :wink Also, put your hand on your belly/below your chest a lot, and smile beatifically! That should give people a clue!

[blissful_maia]

:yeah: Mimi, the right shirt is key. I'm having the opposite problem, of people thinking I'm full term at only 6 months, but in the beginning it was when I was wearing maternity/empire waist tops that I would get pregnancy comments/questions. It's only a matter of time before everything evens out!

[orangefoot]

I had a look at the belly measurements over on the August ddc and was a bit shocked that some mamas are so small still. I say shocked because my belly is already 41" round the waist at 27 weeks :eek and I'm only 5 feet tall

Everyone new I meet tells me my belly looks low and the baby must be due anytime now.......

I carried the same with my other three but its still a shock to look don and not be able to see much other than my outie!

My personal "oh my goodness I am huge" moment is when I sit down to pee in the morning and my A cup boobs are resting on my belly and my belly is resting on my legs:lol I'm still a little way off that just yet but my bump is really starting to get in the way when I'm trying to chop veg at the counter or wash dishes in the sink.

I love empire line tops too:wink

[Autumn_Breeze]

Wow, looking back to about 6 weeks pregnant I wish I was still there. I still fit into all my clothes, wasn't bloated. Then again, the fatigue, sickness, I' think I'll pass, lol.
