HELP!! I can't find my waistline!!

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  I'm at work, in nice trousers, that are usually very comfortable, not tight at all... I'm half-tempted to unbutton them, but they have the button and then a clasp thingie and it looks funny through my blouse, lol.  But seriously, they are so tight it's borderline painful.  I'm wondering if it's because it's my second pregnancy.  Anyone else experiencing this?  What worked for you?   I don't remember feeling like this so early on last time,

I hear ya on the boobs! I am stuffing my self into my 38DD and am spilling out the sides and i am only 9 1/2 weeks! I am already in maternity clothes. I have only 1 pair of jeans i wear to work other days i wear my yoga pants and sweatpants to work. This is my 2nd child. I am also on prometrium and stay sick 24/7! i have to take it for 3 more weeks!!! i havent been able to keep much food down at all the past few days. My dr office told me today if this keeps up i wil have to go to the ER and get put on an IV. I had an easy mac and a roll for lunch and so far so good! Crackers and peanut butter earlier NOT GOOD. I just keep thinking come July I will be holding a beautiful baby so it makes it worth it. Its just so hard! Especially on my husband and my 5yr old son. Mommy dont do what she used to. Mommy lays around alot now. My husband says he understands but he realyl doesnt know just how i feel! My hors keep monin and i snap over EVERYTHING he cant do nothing right most of the time!!!
As far as maternity clothes if you are on a budget like me try walmart.com I found all kinds of stuff on there! They dont have squat in the stores at least not here anyway!!! Good luck to all!!!

Yeah, the only thing i can't have burgers... :)
Same as Kels, mine just stopped growing, I think I am still a B though...they are fuller but not a C yet :( Im like, grow!!! but they don't want to :(
I think I will have to start looking for maternity clothes in late January...right now I can fit perfectly in my clothes :(
Im only 100 pounds though :( Don't put ANY weight on... I can't see my waistline anymore but fit in everywhere...
I think you can purchase cheaper maternity clothes in Marshall or Ross or something like that...someone mentioned Old navy:?

I have Monster Boobs... Boobs that have taken on a life and personality all their own, that have decided to become independent entities... They are acting very strange, tingling and itching and growing like it's nobody's business.  I *was* a 34c... my breasts now throw back their heads and laugh at my 34d's...

Princess---I totally feel you on the white t-shirts, I wear mine's too... only, the contest doesn't last long because I can't sleep without a bra on anymore----otherwise i'm in AGONY when i wake up.  

Kels, thanks for chiming in!!  It helps knowing there are others out there and I'm not just crazy ;-)

Danielle---thank you!!  Someone was just talking about something like that yesterday here at work, I'm gonna have to hunt some down.  Sounds like a life-saver!

Anya----no Jr. Whopper's for you then, you have to eat the big ones!!

Hey, where is everyone getting their maternity clothes?  OMG that **** is so expensive!!

omg girls, you all are lucky with huge bbs!!! I have 34B and when they start growing, I was very happy! BUT, at 7 weeks or so, they kinda stopped and it has been 2 weeks and they haven't grown much since then...I kinda like it big though :)
As far as showing, I got a small bump, haven't put 1 pound on though!! And all my pants still fit, but this is my first pregnancy so I might be taking a while to get where you are :)

Ok ladies. For all of us that are beginning to notice tighter pants. Go purchase and Tummy Band. It's an elastice band that goes over the top of your pants, and allows you to unbotton your pants and keep the lines smooth looking so you dont see the lines through your shirt. I wore it all the time with my first, and your 2nd pregnancy i heard you always show sooner. So go purchase it. It's only maybe $13. I got mine at Motherhoodmaturnity.com

Hope this helps!
Also, dont let it get painful when you sit down. My dr. told me thats a big no no. Let your tummy breath, it only cuts of circulation when you try to bare through it. :o)

I have the same feeling. I am 9 1/2 weeks and OMG all my work pants are too tight. I am sitting here right now at work with my pants unbuttoned, lol. I'm a lot bigger than you girls, and I know i'm not showing, but I can tell that my waist is definately bigger. My stomach is also very hard as well. I already have some maternity pants and sweat pants to change into when I get off work. :)

Back to work as well....

OMG, whoppers!!  I had two this weekend!!  LOL!  

I was 140 but I'm really well toned, work out, so I look more like 125 ish... but I think I've put on 5 pounds!  Bleah.  My boobs won't stop growing, it's actually comical today, i haven't been able to take my jacket off at work, because they are not just bulging out, but POPPING out of the cups.  it's horrid!  I don't even know where an old navy is around here, and i am so hesitant to buy any maternity clothes on line.  I'm gonna go buy some yoga pants tonight and try to get away with them at work.  

I had my ultrasound on friday and i was right on---i will be 8 wks on thursday.  Here's a tip---go for the Jr. Whoppers, they're only 99 cents and they satisfy the craving without all the calories and fat of a full-sized ;-)  

I gotta go to the gym, i feel enormous... Mines all stomach, though.  I'm really bloated, and everything's starting to get pushed around sooner this time.  It's so uncomfortable.  I look like I just ate a huge meal and bloated up---only it's not fully going away.  Owch, my pants are so tight.  This is torture.  There is zero elastic in these slacks.  i keep alternating shoving them above and below my belly button, lol.  I just feel like an idiot for needing different clothes so soon, is it all in my head??

Ok, back to work...

OMG yse. I can't get over how big my belly is at almost 7 weeks I'm in trouble at 9mos. I can still wear my jeans but my belly is hard as a rock and I'm carrying high so my pants go below it. I had a u/s today and my baby is 6 weeks and 5 days but damn my baby is big for a grain of rice I can see the head etc. I'm like this baby loves to eat they are going to be huge. I always see the girls on here with morning sickness I would love to have it so I would stop eating. I was 127 before becoming pg now I'm over 140 and I love buffalo sauce and whoppers and fries. All the ****. I don't remember either getting this big and this is my 4th. My boobs are huge I'm going to breast feed I"m going to look like a porn star. LOL. They say you get bigger each time but this is nuts. It's worth it though. Have you seen the old navy maternity? Their stuff is too cute in a couple of weeks I will be in maternity pants. How are you feeling otherwirse and how far along are you?
