I'm about 8 weeks (still waiting in scan to confirm dates) and none of my trousers do up properly! I've put on 2lb, I'm hoping it's mainly from water retention and bloat. Was hoping to hide the pregnancy for just a couple more weeks, but I have a function to go to tonight and my evening dress isn't very forgiving! Lol, it's showing a nice round bump! I know this is my 3rd, but honestly didn't think I would be showing already :-/

I have had same problem - with my second! I was in shock for ages and only calmed down as I have gone into my second trimester and don't feel so weird for being so pregnant now. Quite frustrating as with first I got away with normal clothes for most of it and only had to buy a very few maternity items - not so this time. Hmm

People keep telling me I am just pregnant, but actually the bulge is fat! I am a trim petite thing but have a fat tum at mo, the baby is still barely above my pube line ( Grin ) and my bulge is up to my ribs - and wobbles!!! Grrrr

I am also On pregnancy no 2. Have been really shocked this time at how quickly I needed to dig out the maternity clothes. I think I had nag jeans on by about 13 weeks.

My Mum said it was to be expected as I am 'pre-stretched' - thanks mum.

Lol pre stretched, mums eh? Always there to make you feel better haha.

Me too! I'm only 7+ weeks and have put on weight already. I'm sitting here at a funny angle because my trousers are tight when I sit down. Blush

Oh me too! Am pregnant with DC3 and I was really showing from about 6 weeks-a lot of it was food bulge too though I suspect as when I was feeling nauseous I ate to make it better! Grin

Am 17 weeks now and have quite a large bump, been in maternity work trousers for five weeks and just bought new jeans a size up!

Im in the same boat.... this is baby number 5 for me and I am usually a size 8, I got big really quick and now at 20 weeks I am about the same size that I was full term with my eldest!!! Good luck ladies.x
