clothes getting tighter yet?!?

[drmwvrjean]

i posted this question on another forum, but i was curious if anyone is beginning to show yet?!?  my hubby was looking at me in the kitchen today and asked "is that a baby belly so soon?!?"  my clothes are getting tighter, (i have been frequenting my sweats, etc.) but i didn't show with my other pregnancies until i was well into the 4th month!!  i know that they say that you can begin to show sooner the more pregnancies you have, etc.  i was just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or if i need to lay off the cravings of crackers dunked in thousand island!!  lol  ;)

9 1/2 weeks...maternity pants are too big still but most of my regular pants are tight!  I've tried a size larger in regular pants...works okay in the waist but they don't really fit everywhere else...too big.  Ugh.

Nothings tight yet except bras.  I had to get a couple new ones, although I'm still binding (with rapidly decreasing effectiveness)most of the time so they're only for special occasions.

i didn't reply on this thread earlier, because i doubt anyone wanted to hear that everything still fit me perfectly.

well....

that's not true anymore. I popped TODAY. yesterday everything was normal, today i have such a belly I can't suck it in to not look pregnant. I have no idea how it happened. I haven't gained- in fact this morning when i weighed myself i was down 3 or 4 pounds. i'm not bloated, not gassy- just all belly. my baby is only 2 cm long... and i know that at this stage the the baby is still very low- by the pubic bone. so what's up with the belly? I'm 8 1/2 weeks.

This is my first pregnancy, 11 weeks, and i am feeling the same way. Most of my regular clothes dont fit comfortably anymore. I wear a uniform to work and that is also tight, even after i bumped it up a size. I am not sure if this is just weight, or if this is baby. It doesnt help that I am a normally chunky person either. But, I have a feeling that i am going to be in maternity clothes any day now. Also not looking forward to losing this weight in the end.

Well this is my first pregnancy I am 11wks 4days and am already showing. I have a big belly bump even though I had a little bit of a tummy already that seems to be the first place I gain wait. None of my jeans fit me, so I started using a rubberband to hold them closed but even that is getting hard now. I did but one pair of maternity jeans one size bigger then I needed so they will last until the end since they were a bit expensive $118.00. They are kinda annoying right now since I feel like they are falling down. I have heard that depending where your baby implants depends on how fast you will show. If you implant in the front of your uterus you will show very fast, if you implant in the back then you might not show until your 4th month which is more common.

I'm already uncomfortable in my regular clothes as well. this is my 3rd child, so it's to be expected. I was 5 mos along before I started wearing Maternity clothes with BOTH my other kids, but I'm only 10 weeks along now, and seriously considering shopping for mat clothes already!...  oh well, the joys!

I am almost 12 weeks and have been "showing" since about week 9.  I know, it seens early, but then this is my 4th child, so it makes a difference.

I just told my boss (today), I was trying to wait until 12 weeks, but honestly, I teach 8th graders and I think they are starting to whisper about me!! It is only a matter of time before one of them point-blank asks, and I thought my boss should know before my students do!!  

BTW, I am having pants issues too, b/c maternity pants are still too big, but my jeans are too small, so right now I am in my "fat pants" (1 size up).  Hoping to fit maternity pants soon!

okay, well i gave in and dug up some of my old maternity clothes (i was laying down on the bed trying to zip my jeans and thought enough is enough)   i forgot how comfy the pants are!!  lol  funny how they make you look really preggers!!  lol  i feel somewhat silly, but i am all about comfort!!  have a great day, ladies!!  :)

Well the opposite is true for me... I can actually do up my belt one notch smaller than before!  I don't have a lot of fat in my pelvic region and therefore I can definitely notice a bump - although nobody else can.  I am currently 11w3d (although baby is measuring 12w1d).  My boobs haven't gotten much bigger - I am still in my normal bras.  I am hoping that I don't showing for another 1.5 months though.... it's my first child, so there is hope - haha...

I'm only 9 weeks, but at 6, I was so bloated I couldn't fit into anything.  Since, I've lost 5 pounds and I think my belly actually got bigger.  Go figure.  My mom bought me some maternity shirts for Christmas and I'm wearing the small ones already.  I guess it's time to go jeans shopping again, but I have no idea what size to try to buy because I have no idea how long I can wear them.

[Jen8950]

i'm almost 3 months. I'm wearing maternity pants, some of my shirts are still fitting me, but alot of them are not b/c my boobs have already gotten huge! lol

[drmwvrjean]
