I'm a blimp

I look and feel like the Goodyear blimp.

I'm only 5 weeks pregnant with my second child and already I'm huge. I've been going to slimming world and lost little over a stone and it was showing. Now my tummy is huge. At least there's a definite curve to it, more baby bump than fat looking, I just didn't realise I'd be this upset.

Any words of wisdom? Should I just embrace mat clothes at 5 weeks?

A lot of it is probably bloating!
I was the same when first pregnant with #3 but it did go down before a bump appeared

Thank you. Just feel huge right now

It's a horrible stage.
Bust out the baggy tops and try and forget it.
Hopefully it will soon pass and then you'll have a few weeks before you're dusting off your mat clothes Wink.
Chin up.

It's bloat - I was the same, huge bump at about 8 weeks and a much smaller one now at 13. I swell up like a balloon if I go away anywhere and have to eat at unaccustomed times, or eat food I'm not used to. This is one side of pregnancy I really don't like (the rest has been ok so far).
