Im only 8+3 weeks pregnant and already im uncomfortable in my normal jeans. This is my 5th baby although my last child was born 13 years ago. I know it isnt baby as its only the size of a kidney bean so why has my stomach already grown so much. I havent eaten any extra in fact probably less because i have felt so sick. Im even thinking of buying maternity jeans already for comform. Everything seems so uncomfortable around my stomach and i cant bare anything around my waist!!

Got the same thing here, 7 weeks, 3rd baby, last one was 5 years ago and I can't do up my jeans which I could 2 weeks ago. I haven't put any weight on since, I checked, but I look about 3-4mths pg already

I think it may actually be bloating and fluid retention. I am now almost 16 weeks and I was the same size at about 8 weeks (in fact, I felt bigger)!

Ha, has the titty fairy visited you too, I look like Jordan (well that bit anyway) at the moment

My waist is disappearing but I've not put on weight at 10+6. A lot of it was constipation/bloating I think, but also the hormonal rearrangement of an already fairly generous portion of fat!

I think my thighs are thinner tho... I'm telling myself that!
