6 weeks and pants already tight

[maybebaby29]

and I got that "pooge" look. Is this typical at 6 weeks? I know most say they don't 'show' until about 3 months. I've always had a little bloated pooge. But now it's way more prominent and my pants are tight. Am I gaining too fast?

I felt the exact same way at 6 weeks. I always had a lil' pooch as well, and was ravenous, and worried I would gain too much too fast. I broke down and got a few maternity outfits at 7 weeks.

Then morning sickness kicked in, and is still around (I'm almost 15 weeks!), and even now my appetitie is next-to-nothing. Yet, I have still gained a few pounds (4-5lbs). I sincerely hope you don't get morning sickness, but either way don't worry. Your body is producing 50% more blood, plus TONS of extra body fluids. The bloating is normal, and for those of us who gain in the pooch first, we feel the bloat straightaway. Just be sure to drink a lot of water, and that can help.

Oh not overly worrying. More of "oh come on". hahahah It's all good. I've been so hungry lately that I wanted to make sure I'm not getitng out of control and "eating for 2" at this point.

I agree with Kellie- you are probably just bloated.. I wouldn't worry too much!!

I think mostly its a bloated pooch but there's no way at 6 weeks you could be doing anything too fast :) Just enjoy!!
