is this what bloated looks like?

  • This is my first time being pregnant and trying to be fit or not gain more weight then I should. Normally I'll gain 15 lbs by now.
    I only gained 9 lbs since I found out I was pregnant. My stomach is out, I look like a Boa who swallowed a cow. LOL I mean, I know its not the baby. I know the sack is just above my pelvic bone. So what is all this.
    Normally when I gain weight, I gain all over my body. In this case my size 10 jeans still fit and my legs still look the same in them. True I sort of don't need a belt anymore even though I end up pulling them up every now and then but I prefer not to wear the belt because its starting to hurt my tummy when they're too tight.
    I've been very constipated so its sort of sick to think I could be that backed up if that's the case.
  • That's pregnancy bloating! You'll "deflate" in a few weeks and then a real baby belly will expand!
  • Thank you, I'd gladly trade this for an actual baby bump now. With all this, I can't see how I'll fit a baby bump in there. ;-)
