I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and I've gained almost 2" on my waist.  Nothing really going on "pooch" wise though, just a general thickening at my waist.  I'm wearing a myriad of sizes from 1 pair of stretchy size 6 jeans, but mostly 10's and a few loose 12's that I hope will get me through til ???

And my boobs, did I mention the boobs?  Up almost 2 cups and I wouldn't complain if they didn't feel like bruises.

It's great though - I love it!

I am so glad you are feeling like you are growing already!  This is my second pregnancy and I am feeling so bloated.  I haven't even thought about putting on jeans.  I've been wearing loose trousers or skirts (pulled above my waist) just to be comfortable.  I think my BB have grown a cup size and I'm only 4 WEEKS!  I can't imagine what things will be like in a few weeks.  Not complaining...happy and content =)

I started showing beginning of 4 months with my daughter...I'm fairly sure i'm already starting to show with this one. Things happen earlier with 2nd, I know, and I'm wondering if it's not twins....Glad I'm not the only one starting to have trouble with clothes and feeling a little bit of rounding!!! BBs are up a size, ugh. Already gained a size with daughter and they never went back down.

I'm 5w1d and have a swollen belly and super sore growing bbs (which I don't have much of unless I'm pregnant LOL) That was cute about them feeling like bruises. I couldn't think of a better explenation! This pregnancy is so different so far than any of my others. I'm not hungry much..but still bloated and can't fit into my skinny jeans. Which I'm very proud of because I finally hit the size I was before my first pregnancy 11 years ago!!

I've never been due at this time though..I'm already wondering how much I should get in winter clothes..or if I should get more in summer??

Ok I dont feel so bad then. lol I just bought maternity jeans today because my regular jeans are just squishing me to death. I showed at 4 months with my 1st and about 2 months with my 2nd so I guess I shouldnt be surprised with this one but 4 WEEKS? It looks like I have a beer gut Im so so bloated. My breats dont fit any of my bras at all. Im not complaining too much...I have my 25 yr old breasts back lmao

I started showing really early in my last pregnancy (3rd bub) I have pictures on my profile page from 7 weeks of pregnancy if anyone wants to look!

If you do look I think you have to go back 5-6 pages ago in my photos...

Am 3w4d and wondering when I'll start noticing it this time!    :)
