why am i

showing so much already? I am starting to think that I am much futher along then i really am, Today i am suppose to be 8 week preggo and I look like I am 4 months. All of the other teachers are like that is all you are? you look bigger, it is upsetting, bc i am not eating alot, just healthy foods when I need to eat, small breakfast, lunch snack and dinner, I just don't understand..... I mean what are the odds of having more then one in me naturally? TIA girls I am just so upset that I am big already and should not be, and my clothes are smaller on me already......

Re: why am i

I am feeling the same way! I have actually gone out to buy maternity clothes that are good the whole 9 months b/c my regular clothes do not fit! And I'm only in week 6!!

Whats going on?!?!

Re: why am i

A lot of the early gain is just bloating and will subside a bit. But in the meantime, go out and buy a Bella Band so you can continue wearing your regular pants. And when that gets uncomfortable start wearing maternity clothes. There's no need for you to be uncomfortable.

Re: why am i

I was going to ask if maybe you have twins - I know some of the ladies on here started showing very early when they had twins!

good luck!

I also hear that sometimes you are more bloated earlier on, and you look bigger, and then it sort of tapers off a little...

Re: why am i

its usually just bloating - i was the same way - i looked way further than i was. buy yourself some small maternity clothes and they should last u a while and they are nice and comfy!!!!!

before i knew it i went back to the doctor at around 18 weeks and i was like "am i still bloated????" she was like no sweety - now u r all baby - took long enough!!

Re: why am i

I agree...at the beginning I was very bloated and was in full on maternity by 10 weeks. Everyone swore I had twins in there!

I do agree with buying some maternity pants, BUT please don't buy too much. I made that mistake. I agree with getting the bella band, but unfortunately you will reach a point where your regular pants aren't comfortable even with the Bella Band. If you buy too many pants now, you will most likely have to go out and get more when you grow out of them.

Re: why am i

I started out really bloated too, then it calmed down a little bit and now my belly has definately popped a little. I just bought a few pairs of maternity pants to start me off...I am just starting my 11th week.

Re: why am i

same boat... i' hope its just bloating and it goes away

Re: why am i

My friend was showing at 6 weeks and kept getting asked if she was having twins or further along than she thought. Everyone shows differently. Now me, I didnt show in the beginning at all and went on to have the belly of ALL bellies.

Re: why am i

Thanks girls i am glad that i am not the only one with this issue!!!

Re: why am i

I was the same way. At 8 wks I was VERY bloated and looked further along. Take it in stride, your body is bloated from all the changes going on.

Re: why am i

You are not alone... my clothes have been tight since VERY early on, like week 6 or 7. A lot of it is bloating, but now, at week 10, I think its starting to turn into baby!

Re: why am i

I'm HUGE already and only 14 weeks. Everyone is different. Just remember that its for a good cause!

Re: why am i

the same thing happened to me, I was 9 weeks and was huge. It was bloating. now at 13 weeks, I am smaller than I was at 9 weeks.
