Is anyone else pregnant and look really bloated/pregnant early on?

This is my first, and already in struggling to fit into my size 8 skinny jeans due to bloating. I look really pregnant!

Is this normal?

I felt really bloated at times during early pregnancy and then would wake up the following week and it would have disappeared! It was normal for me but this is only my first too so I'm not really much help

Yeah I was as well. Constipation and bloating is a bitch. It gets better after a while. Just a little better mind

I've succumbed and bought maternity jeans now and a new bra, the tightness isn't helping with the nausea. I cheer every morning if I have a poop as well :-)

Whitey I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets excited about pooping

13 weeks here and have been in maternity cloths since about 8 weeks and was up 2 dress sizes by then

I think I was bigger at 9 weeks than I am now at 19. The bloating goes down then comes the heartburn and constant peeing

I'm 10-11 weeks. With my first I didn't go into maternity wear until 22 weeks ish. This time around I'm struggling to do up my trousers already. It does seem to be mostly bloat as I've gone from nothing to massive in just a few days. Hoping it goes down again before I see my boss!

Thanks so much for this. You don’t really see much when you Google it. My stomach is honestly so big 🙈

I gained a lot of weight in the first trimester because I had strong nausea and at had to go on bed rest for 3 weeks because of SCH so I couldn't exercice. All the weight i gained went to my belly, but was mostly get and bloating so I didn't have a nice round firm belly like a pregnant lady, just a big beer belly. But around 12 weeks both issues (nausea and SCH bed rest) stopped, i could eat normally and exercice again, and quickly went back to my pre-pregnancy body, then went on to put on weight normally and develop a regular bump.
