I am 4 weeks pregnant today, so very early days. Today I put on my favourite jeans and I could hardly do them up!
What is going on? With my first pregnancy I wore my skinny jeans til about 14 weeks, but looking in the mirror today I can already see a wee belly (wouldn't be noticable to anyone else). I know that the baby is probably not even the size of a grain of rice at this stage so how come my belly is getting big already? |

With my number 2 my belly popped out straight away aswell! I couldnt wear lots of clothes in the first few weeks, but once I got to about 12 weeks DS seemed to move higher up, so I could fit into stuff again.

this time around I noticed staight away that my jeans etc didn't fit and needed to go staight into maternity pants. Now I don't think I am that much bigger than I was the first time, just popped out sooner. This seems to be quite common against 2nd etc pregnancies, so I wouldn't worry too much. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

yup bloating and hormones. this is my 2nd in a short time and during the first couple of months i looked really pregnant but strangely enough im 17ish weeks now and have no sign of a bump at all so i think once hormones settle you may be alright for a while till bubs is bigger -------------

I did the same with this bub, I put on 10 kgs by 20 weeks and since then i havent gone up in weight at all, its been so weird because I was worried when I had put on that weight so quick, that it was going to keep going up! I think also because you have done it before your muscles maybe start to relax and stretch out a bit earlier?? ------------- T (6) A (2) Our angel baby Sep 2011 http://lilypie.com">

This is my first bub and I was in stretchy topped pants by 8wks cause I didn't fit my work pants anymore! Was getting asked by strangers if I was pregnant that early on as well! So it was difficult trying to keep it quiet till the 12wk stage!
Congrats -------------

thi is my first hila *waves at due in thread buddy* and my jeans are tight but fine if unbuttoned, iv bought bellybands to cover it so no one can tell but i think it is a bloat thing.
Iv already lost 2-3 KGs this week from the scoots  -------------    CHEM 6/12+ |
