Pants feeling tight, only six weeks.

[Chocciebutton]

yep I am the same and my boobs are bursting out my bra lol!

 

[bluejen]

I feel HUGE! I still fit in my normal jeans (just!) They have a bit of stretch! Luckily I wear jeans to work. I think normal trousers would have burst! It's just bloat though, it feels like just before AF for me, I have been known to put on 7lbs the week before AF and that's how I'm feeling!

Can't wait til I have a proper BUMP!

Ew, I feel so gross and fat and have since about six weeks. I gained fifteen lbs before I even got pregnant and have gained four so far (I am eleven weeks 2 days) and I just feel so bleh and bloated all the time. I got a Bella band at about 7 weeks and it is AWESOME. Of course, I don't feel like I look pregnant but imagine that every ounce I have gained has gone straight to my thighs/butt. Yuck.

I have been experiencing cramps and aches in both sides of my womb is that normal? because my egg released from the left ovarie so i can understand the left aches but not the right? strange, unless its just growing, and my boobs are increasingly sore today even just to move is hurting, lol but i do love it as it shows that i am actually pregnant xx

I have no idea if it's normal, but I've been having a similar thing. I'd read somewhere that you sometimes feel the cramping focused in the area where the seed implanted. But I've also heard that the ovary that released the egg may continue to cramp for a while as it releases progesterone to support the pregnancy. Not sure about either one, but it does fit my symptoms.

I sometimes cramp on my right (which is the ovary that released this OV) and sometimes on the left, but not really by the ovary, a bit closer to center.

Anybody else shed any light on this?

I think that most pregnant women feel this. I had it with my last pregnancy for the first and second trimesters (after that, there are so many other things distracting you that it's hard to pin down any single discomfort). It's probably just the uterus stretching and/or preparing to stretch. That's especially the case if the cramps you feel are around your bikini line at your hips. It's called round ligament pain, and they say it starts around the second semester, but my OB said it can start as soon as you implant. I have twinges and tugs in that entire nether region all the time. I think that so long as you're not in real pain (and, of course, if you're not bleeding), there's nothing at all to fear. I actually find the sensation kind of comforting. It means that my baby is growing!

Oh thats not too bad then yeh i just keep telling my DH that its because our little pea is growing thanks xx

Kitty - Thanks so much for posting. It's a relief to hear that'll it'll all turn out fine from someone who's been-there-done-that. I'm in the "just feeling fat" phase at the moment myself, and your post helepd me feel a bit more okay with it!

They attach to your jeans so you can keep your jeans unzipped (so you can still wear them as you expand) and just the bella band holds the two jean flaps together and keeps them up.

NOPE you're not, ive ordered maternity jeans wish they'd get here already!!

What is the date of your ultrasound in your profile pic?

 

[LEXIANN21]

What i mean is how far along were you when the ultrasound was taken? Im curious as Im having another at 8 weeks and hope to see more than i did at 5 weeks, and possibly hear a heartbeat.

 

[Serenity13]

I am with you guys! Sooo bloated! My winter jacket is barely doing up! I went into a maternity store the other day to look at new jackets and the girls that worked there thought I was crazy! lol
My pants are the same story - Whenever I sit down I have to undo them!
I just don't get how some women can get away with not gettting into maternity clothes until 12+ weeks?!

I just had my Ultrasound yesterday and you can see alot and I did hear its beautiful little heartbeat. 121 bpm! Here's a pic of the ultrasound. If your having one done at 8 wks your baby will look even more like a baby and you should hear a heart beat! Good luck. Can't wait to hear what happens.

Just ordered some new pants! Maternity french terry cloth pants were on sale, so instead of getting regular sweats, I jumped for the cheaper maternity ones. They look super comfy so I'm excited!

 

[LittleSpy]

My bloat hasn't gone down any. Today I had to hair tie my jeans to be comfortable (looped a hair band through the button hole & then loop it around the button -- gives an extra inch of give in the pants but keeps the zipper up. ).

 

[lizi]

lol i was in maternity trousers early but then got morning sickness and gastric flu so went bak to normal ones!!

 

[amand_a]

Lol little spy, i lived with a hair tie on my pants my last pregnancy. I carried high so could wear my normal pants right till the end. this time round i am huge already and again its not so much the pants its the top half. Dug out all my maternity tops today. If my belly does not go down i dont know how i going to keep it all secret heading into the festive season,
