Already!?

I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow with my 3rd and I swear my jeans are already getting tight! Please tell me this is normal.

I think its normal, My dress pants were too tight to button before I even got a postive pregnancy test! Lol. I was trying to get dressed for my brothers wedding and was like what the heck. . these pants fit last week. . . One of my first indications that I might have been pregnant. And I heard you show faster the more children you have. this is my 2nd and Ill be honest I been in dreses and stretch pants the last week so Im not sure how my jeans fit!

DDC - hoping to be here in about a week or so

I think the bloat is common around this time. My doc calls it "progesterone swelling" from the increase of progesterone in early pregnancy.
For some people, it goes away after a couple weeks and they can wear their jeans again. For me, not so much. My last pregnancy, I had to wear stretchy waist pants at 6 weeks and full on maternity pants by 9 weeks.

AHH!!! I noticed that too, I just lost 20lbs but in the last 2 weeks my pants were TIGHT. :-( Luckily I haven't gained anything but my poor belly hehe. Guess I need to get on sewing up some maternity stuff.

Yeah, same here! I didn't show with DS1 until 14 weeks, 8 weeks with DS2, and here I am at 5 weeks with that awkward "showing"... you know, the one that happens more at night time, with a full bladder, or full belly. I can't suck it in like I could before. It's like the muscles went right back to that "relaxing" position.

That is so funny... This is my 2nd and I am wearing stretchy pants because I don't want anyone to know and my stomach popped almost overnight! I also eat non stop and drink tomato juice all the time...

[pearryandbellasmama]

Yup, I'm about ready to pull my maternity clothing out. I feel like my stomach has popped, and I have an appetite to rival my DH's, which is saying something.. lol

I see that my stomach is bloated but I haven't had to wear different clothes yet. I wear pretty loose things though.

[mrscompgeek]

Yoga pants and capri's are my best friend!! I still have about 15# hanging on from my baby fat from DD's birth so my jeans were tight anyways, now its almost miserable!

Not yet for me, but with number three my belly was showing at 5 weeks. It was crazy!
