showing already?

[salmynka]

okay I am going to drive you all nuts with all my questions

I'm 8weeks at most and seriously showing already & can't fit into any of my clothes, Am i Just getting fat or is it water retention or am i going to be massive? I was wearing size 10-12 at Christmas and i've just had to run out and buy two new tops size 16!!?

I can't carry on expanding at this rate or they are going to have to cut me out of the house is it maybe wind? or constipation?

this is my first and unexpected so I am totally in the dark about all this

I'm just over 8 weeks and I'm all water and bloated but in my lower abdomn I can feel it is hard from where the baby is growing. I have no idea how to answer your question because going from size 10-12 to 16 is a WOW for me .

 

[salmynka]

oh dear they are going to have to cut me out of my home aren't they

 

[ladymilly]

me too

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today and i am so big allready. I was a size 10 8 weeks ago and now i am a size 16 allready i feel so fat.
I think at these early stages of pregnancy that most of it is just fluid ots like your body is stretching out and preparing itself for baby to grow. If you know what i mean

 

[salmynka]

happy now that your all fat too

 

[emmajane]

Wish I was showing!

OMG i feel the same way.

My tummy is sticking out already and i dont understand as ive lost 6lbs, cant hardly eat anything and my clothes still fit.

I actually feel a little embarrassed and fat

Is it just water retention? Im scared im gonna be huge

I wouldn't worry about it, one of my friends is pregnant also and she started showing around 8 weeks too, her doctor said it's because she has a large uterus, or maybe you could be joining me in the twin section!! Lol

saw my Gp yesterday and it looks like i could be a bit out with my dating, he seems to think i'm 10 weeks, well as they don't do dating scans in Bath I'm going to be guessing for a while!

 

[Vickie]

Two weeks ahead! Wow! Hope you can get a dating scan soon

A week or so ago I said I wasn't showing. Well, that has now changed. I believe I am in my 9th week. Guess I better figure out what to get before I can't fit into any clothes anymore. LOL

That's exciting to think one might be further along than they think

I truly don't know how far along I am as I can't remember when my last period was. December was a crazy month, and obviously active for me to become pregnant. LOL By approximation though, I believe I had my period end of November/beginning December. I honestly don't think it was after that.

Maybe at my first scan at the end of March they will tell me I am farther along. LOL

December was the same for me too hence my condition i can't remember most of December, obviously I had fun!

LOL!

I remember thinking during that month:

1) Hope I don't have my period on December 15th, my hubby's birthday. I didn't have it.

2) Hope I don't have it for Christmas. I didn't get it.

3) Hope I don't get it for New Years. I didn't get it.

4) Second week of January - Hmm, I am starving in the morning and haven't had it yet. Time to go buy a home pregnancy test. The positive came up in seconds.

LOL

At this stage, baby isn't big enough to be having an effect on your tummy size, but there are many other factors that can contribute to you growing early on in pregnancy - A lot of women suffer from constipation and wind, and you'd be amazed how bloated that can make your tummy. Another thing is that some women let themselves go a bit when they get pregnant and start 'eating for two' (when baby only needs an extra 200 caleries in the last trimester!). It could be water retention. If you're really concerned, ask your doctor or midwife about it. Because it is a bit odd to jump up 3 clothes sizes in 8 weeks... It's probably nothing to worry about, but best to be on the safe side.

Another thing you might want to consider, is that your mind can play tricks with you while you're pregnant - maybe because you feel uncomfortable with pressure on your tummy (this is very common in early pregnancy) you tend to wear bigger clothes to feel more comfy - even if you haven't grown that much. Or maybe because you're pregnant you're expecting to grow so much you'll have to be cut out of your house, your mind puts an extra couple of inches onto your body image? Is it possible you think you're bigger than you are?

Hi Hun
Sooo glad i just read this im barely 5 weeks and feel as tho im already showing. My trousers are already tight and i feel huge. With my 1st i didnt show til 4/5 months so its all new to me hee hee. Altho they do say you show quicker after your 1st as your tummy muscles rnt what they used to be hee hee. Sorta rambled a bit but at least your not alone! hee hee Good luck in the rest of your pregnancy! danni xxx
