I look huge and my jeans don't fit.
Having a massive huff at my bloat because its blatantly not the 2mm blob making me look and feel like this.
What can I do? X

I had this. Massive from the start and constipation.
Only thing I can suggest is water. I drank loads and loads of water and it seemed to help.

I had this, I still do. I’m 9w and I just ordered maternity clothes last night as I literally can’t fit in anything and can’t wear pyjamas or tracksuits everyday.
I bought maternity clothes instead of normal clothes so that, that at least I can also grow into them and also use from Now until I actually get a ‘bump’. Xx

Same here! I’m just 7 weeks but look about 25 weeks or so, none of my jeans fit and have already succumbed and gotten maternity jeans which are soo much comfier. We’re visiting our parents this week and planned on not telling anyone until after the first scan, but I’m so massive it’s obvious so will have to sayBlush

@Annafs exactly! My mum was looking at me so suspiciously today because I'm also VERY pale 🙈
@MerryChristmasUfilthyanimal I'm living off milkshake and gingerbread men atm because I feel so sick with anything else. Water is making me gag. Will be the size of a house soon!
@essexanon I was looking myself! X

May I join?
We are currently 8+3 and I feel the exact same, I’m huge due the bloat and it is definitely not the grape size baby!
Water also makes me gag but I may try and power through if that worked for you!

Good luck to everyone that it eases off soon!

I’m 9+5 and also have a ridiculous bump! Glad I’m not the only one. I’ve basically been living off bread alone for the past 6 weeks, so think that’s probably got a lot to do with it.. 😬
I’ve lost weight from my face and arms though (where my weight usually goes first) - all just concentrated on the belly!

Hi can I join roo... I am the same, only 4 weeks and feel so huge. Feel so bloated on constipated 😫
This is my second pregnancy but don't remember ever feeling like this with my DS. I will try drinking more as suggested but I am not a big water drinker so it's so hard

I put on quite a bit of weight to start with when I was pg with dd1. Over the 9 months I put on less than 2 stone, but with nearly half of that in the first 12 weeks.
I was in maternity clothes by 12 weeks, but they still fitted at the end.
Just go with it, it’s just nature’s way.
