argh anyone else feeling fat already?

Question

My jeans are already feeling super tight at 8+2 what the hell! I'm pretty lean and I feel huge already it's awful. Any tips? Suggestions? I'd love to try to lose 5lbs while in the 1st tri but I'm not sure if it's advisable.

Answer

Man it's the worst! Lol I mean I'm happy to have it but feel so uncomfortable in my own skin.

Answer

I'm only 7 weeks but totally bloated. This is my second, and I feel like my belly is already popping out! I'm hoping the bloat will go down some soon, I'm afraid someone is actually going to ask me how far along I am and expect me to say 4-5 months!

Answer

Same here with the bloat, it's like my belly has changed shape. Meanwhile since BFP I have lost 6 lbs, mostly in the first couple of weeks and now it's stable but I feel bigger Than before so it's def bloat. I'm 8w5d today x

Answer

I'm 8w 5d, I've gained 2-5lbs (depending on the day) since finding out 5 weeks ago. By night time most of my pants are tighter than I like them on my tummy. For a normal bmi, doctor's typically recommend a 5lb gain in the first trimester and 1-1.5lbs every week after, so I'm right on track for now! My doctor said she really does not want me to gain more than 30-35lbs and to eat healthy foods for the most part. My pre-pregnancy bmi was 19 & in shape with not much fat at all on me. It's all what's best for you and approved by your doctor. It's not unheard of to lose weight in the first trimester, but I do not think you're supposed to "try" to do it.

Answer

Maybe lots of bloat? I'd try staying away from foods that can further cause it. If you were exercising before your pregnancy you can continue to do so. Call your doctor and ask. Mine said I can do anything I was doing before so I'm running and doing HIIT routines at 8 weeks. Many women lose up to 10 pounds from morning sickness in 1st trimester. As long as you're eating healthy and not depriving yourself of anything then I see no problem in losing weight. I doubt your doctor would see losing 5 as a bad thing. If you're already lean you may not need to though, could also just be all baby. Hope you have a great pregnancy. 😊

Answer

I'm on my third so all my muscles have relaxed already with the bloat. It's annoying.

Answer

Yep 9 weeks today and the bloat is real!

In the same boat!
