That's how I feel. This is my 4th pregnancy (1 was ectopic, 1 was a miscarraige), but will be my 2nd child. I weigh more than I should, but I feel like I look 4-5 months pregnant already! I'm hoping it's just bloating that will go away soon. Otherwise, I'm going to be HUGE when I'm 9 months pregnant!

Last time I was over 20 weeks before I started showing. I think maybe I will sooner this time since it hasn't been that long since my last baby. I don't mine though, I loved it when my preggy belly came in

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one. My stomach is so sore and I hate it if my pants touch it. I wore maternity pants the other day just b/c my belly was sore!!!
I am overweight by at least 30 lbs, and all of the fat is in my belly. I look the same now, as I did 5 mo pregnant with dd. What will happen to all this belly fat when the baby starts to get big???

This is my 2nd, and I was in maternity pants at 5 weeks. The rubberband trick on my jeans was involving a rubberband stretched *2 inches*, so I decided it was time to break out the maternity stuff.

I bought a maternity dress at 6 weeks, and when I tried it on, I looked 5 months pregnant!!!! I'm even bloated above the belly button. The dress has an empire waist, and the skirt just flows so nicely out from that point and then down, so I am super showing in that dress. I decided to wait until 12 weeks to wear that one to church, as I don't want people thinking I'm having triplets or something!

Yesterday, I wore a maternity top. My belly is just starting to push it out. I'm 8.5 weeks right now. Of course, baby (and there is just one) is not out of my pelvis yet, so it's all previous baby fat and bloated intestines. I already weigh just a few lbs less than I did when I gave birth to DS (at 29w4d). I'm one of those lucky ones that gains weight while breastfeeding.

Thank goodness for low-riding pants. Because I am getting fat! Last time I was buying a size up at 9 weeks and was in maternity clothes by end of the first tri... I can see the same thing happening this time around
