My pants are already tight!!

[aragornlover8]

It's getting a little ridiculous. I don't think I'm eating that much, as I can't seem to keep a lot of it down. I'm only 8w5d today, though. I'm a little worried I'm gaining too much weight? Not quite sure how to keep it in check with my sporadic eating habits, though...

Is this normal bloat? Or normal in general? Or what should I do? I just don't want to gain too much weight and put my baby at risk.

My pants are a size 7 now I have to upgrade! ugh. I'm only 5 weeks. it better be normal ! lol

 

[aragornlover8]

Haha. I've decided to buy some stretchy pants and stick to my "fat" jeans for as long as I can. I'd feel weird already buying maternity clothes at this stage.

 

[Jess&Jay]

lol @ feeling weird at this stage! I feel your pain..I feel at least 4-5mths prego haha.

OMG I was just telling my hubby the same thing My jeans are tight already and my lower tummy is firming up! I am about as far along (8+2). I've only gained 1 pound....thought I was doing good!!

 

[libbymarks198]

i think its just bloat my tummy is nice and flat in the morning and then during the day it gets huge and i look like im full term by the end of the night lol well not that big but still for me its very big. i actually broke the button on my fat jeans last night as my bloat was to big, i am gutted, its going to be leggings and dresses for me from now on lol

Don't feel bad! I couldn't wear some of my pants at 4 weeks! I had to put them up and drag out my looser ones..they are just too tight and uncomfortable now, I have a bad bloat

 

[mrs whitehead]

I'm 6 weeks and 4 days. My clothes don't fit me now! Iv had to move into elastic pants? But coz my boobs have gone up a cup size my tops are getting tight now! God help me when I'm bigger!!!!!

 

[rasberry]

I am the same!
I have gone up 2 cup sizes and at least one dress size!! Beginning to stress as I so don't want to put on too much weight, so if this is what i am like now (at 8wks) what am i going to be like at 8mths?!
I have had no sickness, am still eating the same amount as what i always do, so don't know what is going on?!

 

[Ang3l]

Tell me about it lol. I can't fit into my jeans anymore so I have resorted to permanently living in leggings lol! They're really comfy though, I've also bought a couple pairs of maternity jeans too just for a change.

Pre Pregnancy I'm a US size 2/3 and can hardly wear a 6 right now and I haven't gained more than a pound since becoming pregnant

 

[rasberry]

Oh my god that makes no sense, how crazy!
I don't have a scales so don't know how much weight i have actually gained, but like you I today had to buy clothes 2 dress sizes (gone from an american 4 to an 8) bigger, mainly due to my bust! They are Massive (& so sore!)!!

You know, when we are not pregnant I think our weight is distributed more equally on our bodies. However, since we are pregnant I now believe if we gain "1lb" it would be directly put into our bellies, thighs and butt for baby cushioning >=[

Thats just my guess, however, I feel like I have gained 1lb at least on each breast!! They hurt soooo bad.

 

[lilprince]

Im about 6weeks and I dont fit into my jeans because of bloat. Scale says I went up 2lbs but my weight fluctuates all the time. Sometimes 6-7lbs in a day. I live in yoga pants and sweatshirts. My husband took my out to a Birthday dinner the other night and he looked at me funny when I stepped out of the bedroom I almost cried and said 'I have nothing else that fits???' Time to go shopping!!!

 

[aragornlover8]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I've just felt so large lately. In the bust and hips and everywhere.

 

[maddog37]

I caved and bought 2 pairs of maternity pants and a pair of maternity jeans last weekend. Best idea ever! I seriously had no pants to wear to work anymore, and my most comfortable jeans took 3 minutes to get past my hips, and I can't really button it up either.

I'm normally a size 0 and only 5' tall, so I already look pregnant because my intestines are all squished up. 3 weeks ago, I bought leggings at Zara and had to get a medium, but with maternity I'm still a XS/XXS, and they're way more comfortable. I'm not buying brand name jeans so they cost way less than my regular clothes anyway.

 

[MissFox]

I am all about my yoga pants!!! I have lost 2 lbs and had to go up a pant size!!! Hmmm...

 

[dimplesmagee]

I hear ya ladies! I couldn't sleep last night b/c I kept thinking about what I was going to wear today to hide my bloat! I am 5'8, wear a size 4 in U.S sizes, I am 5 weeks +1, and my belly looks like I'm more like 16 weeks pregnant! It is my 2nd pregnancy, so I know my body knows what to do...but it's getting hard to "hide" it and I feel like everyone looks at me and thinks, "Man, she's put on weight, look at the beer belly!" Ugh...I was having a moment today. My body is changing faster than I can digest. I knew there would be ladies on here that felt the same! I think it's more that I"m not quite ready to tell people we are expecting, that is making this more of an annoying problem for me. Oh well...this too shall pass right? Thanks for listening to me vent.

I have heard that in the beginning there is a lot of bloating which causes clothes to fit more sungly, but that can subside before having to actually get bigger clothes for growing bumps.

I think 30-40lbs is normal weight gain for a pregnancy so I guess that would be about 1lb a week but I am sure it doesn't always happen exactly like that!

I am still waiting to see if this really sticks, but I hope I will be feeling too big for my clothes soon
