Pants fitting tighter???

hopefulmomtobe wrote: My pants are fitting tighter and I am not eating more because I have such bad heartburn, I wake up with heartburn and go to bed with heartburn so food lately has been the last thing on my mind. But...I did notice that my pants are starting to fit a little tighter....isn't it too early???? I didn't start showing with my last son until I was almost 5 months along?? Granted I didn't wear the same jeans up to 5 months, but I don't remember when I had to buy them loser.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Especially with J. I was so bloated in the beginning I ended up buying Maternity suff at like 8 weeks. It did get better and they git way too big again after a month or so but regular clothes were horribly uncomfortable for a while.

PrairieMom replied: My butt and thighs got way big before my belly started showing. I was in maternity pants by about 8 weeks. both times. I have no idea why I gain my weight in my butt first. my thighs are still huge!

Boo&BugsMom replied: With this one...#2, I showed after the first month! I couldn't wear any of my jeans after 2 months, and now I have started to wear maternity jeans, and I'm a little over 4 months. And yes, there is only one little one in there! Many people have told me that with your second, third, etc. that you show faster...blah!

hopefulmomtobe replied: Well, that makes me feel better knowing it's not in my head. I can still wear my normal clothes but they are getting tighter, noone else can tell but I am uncomfortable with them being tight. I will go out today at lunch and find some clothes with an elastic band at least for the next couple of months, I am trying to avoid maternity clothes for now, seems like once you give into those then it is all over from there and your belly just poops out immediatley. haa haa

Oh well - good by normal pants.....for now atleast


Thanks guys!!

boyohboyohboy replied: I also was in matnerity clothes much sooner with #2 then with the first. My ob gyn explained it that your body has "memory" and there for went into preg. mode sooner...I dont know about you but i wish my body would remember me as a 17 yr old!

hopefulmomtobe replied: ha ha!!! You are soo funnnyyy!!! Really - why can't it remember that!!!!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I had awesome luck with the bella band. I was wearing my regular skirts, shorts, and jeans thru the end of my pregnancy. they looked much better than the maternity ones that I bought in the beginning. Motherhood sells their own brand of the bella band for like $15

CantWait replied: I must have missed a post about you getting pregnant. Congrats!!!!!!

hopefulmomtobe replied: Thank you! I posted it in TTC. We are very excited. Now I get to complain about my terrible heartburn and pants not fitting. haa haa

my2monkeyboys replied: Complain away! We all know you're smiling while you do it!

I started showing when I was 11 weeks pregnant... like maternity clothes showing! I had been wearing stretchy waist pants for a couple of week before that. If I ever get pg again it'll probably start in the 2nd month!

hopefulmomtobe replied: Yea, I am really surprised at how much my waisteline has changed already. It is better at the beggining of the day and I get fatter as the day goes on, I'm unbuttoning my pants towards the end of the day. So funny, yes, of course I love it!!
