5 weeks pregnant and cant fit into clothes?

Question

What have you ladies done to try and not gain so much weight. Im 5 to 6 weeks along and ive already gained 5lbs. I went up to 215lbs with my son and i will not repeat that again!

Answer

Me too!  I'm 6w 2d with #2 and I've gained a few. I run, practice yoga, eat whole foods, etc. but already can't fit into a lot of my clothes. I don't remember experiencing this with my first child. The bloat is ridiculous.

Answer

I gained a bunch but then it goes down again. For me it's just temporary bloat.

Answer

Luckily, it's hot outside so I can wear sundresses. I really don't like feeling anything around my belly right now.

Answer

Like I said on jessicas post, if it's not your first baby, you show sooner. I'm 7 weeks today. I can't wear my jeans unless I do the hair tie trick around the button. Skirts, sweatpants an athletic shorts are my go too. Lol

Answer

It is nice to hear others having this problem... I maaaay have bought some maternity leggings for work. they cover the whole belly. I got them at H&M for $13. They're mediums and feel a bit saggy but at least I'm not cut off in the middle. I pretty much live in the same couple of dresses/leggings at work and PJs at home. I just don't want people thinking I'm five months pregnant when I'm just seven weeks lol.

Answer

I'm retaining water like crazy!! I've gained 5-7lbs, I know the Kansas heat and humidity isn't helping either. Thinking about buying a pair or two of maternity pants already :/ and my boobs are already swelling too.  I've lost a significant amount of weight with my other pregnancies so hoping this weight gain is just temporary.

Answer

My pants are not fitting.. I'm having to wear spring dresses. Lol I'm 5wks today. Guess I should look into buying new clothes!

Answer

My undies are not fitting they are rolling down :(

Answer

I avoid wearing jeans or anything constricting. I'm bloating super bad and I was chubby to begin with (I have busted out a maternity shirt or two but they were flowy tunics so you can't tell) dresses, leggings, loose board shorts, and skirts are my bffs right now

Answer

Me too but I don't want anyone at work to know yet so I'm trying to stay away from wearing maternity pants at work. My summer clothes are skinnier than other seasons so it's really hard to fit in them :( I've got one more full week of school/work left then I can stay home and wear whatever I want until Sept. Which is when I will tell them.
