2nd pregnancy - what week did you need a hairband to do up your jeans?

Just wondering if maybe I’m getting fat rather than pregnant as I needed to use a hairband today - 10 weeks Blush

I'm 6 weeks with my third and already up a jeans size 🙈 must just get worse every pregnancy! Think I'm preferring stretchy dresses these days as I feel a little better about myself haha

I was bloated very early on, from about 8 weeks I think. I didn't feel comfortable in my jeans from then onwards and just wore comfortable trousers. The bloat went down at around 12 weeks and then the bump appeared pretty quickly

This is my first pregnancy and I have been bloated since before I found out. I've needed a hairband all the way through and I'm now 14 weeks 😩 Looking forward to an actual bump!

8 weeks with my second and struggled with my jeans for 2 weeks! They say you grow quicker with your second, so I'm gonna be huge 🙈

2nd baby for me but very early days. Currently 4 weeks and 2 days.

I'm having bloated days when I feel enormous, and days when I feel normal.

I'm generally feeling more comfortable in looser clothes but I guess at this stage it's all just fat and water rather than bump.

@Woodlandwitch from 9-10 weeks for me, haven't been eating well, however, and am dealing with being some godawful constipation (sorry tmi!) so think it's more bloat and weight gain from eating crap... I am now 11+6 😊
