NP and this is my problem! Gained weight the first 8 weeks, then essentially nothing since (currently 18 weeks). I was sent some maternity jeans as a gift and they were so much more comfortable than my snug regular jeans. Friends who saw me around 14 weeks were looking at my cute baby bump and I just nodded and smiled!

You get bigger with every subsequent pregnancy.

For my third I was legit in maternity clothes, with strangers asking about my baby bump, by 8 weeks.

Your uterus knows what it’s doing by now.

Btw I got huge quickly but never ended up too big; the growth slowed down by the third trimester.

Probably just the covid 15

Can’t figure out what is happening. With DD1 - did not start wearing maternity clothes until 30 weeks. DD2 interviewed for a job at 7 months wearing a dress and jacket one size up from my regular size. Saleswoman was surprised to hear I was pregnant when I told her (I specifically asked because I was trying to hid the bump, so I don’t think she was just being flattering). Not a small woman to start - 5’3” and 150 for first pregnancy and 163 for second pregnancy

But, omg. I feel huge with DD3. I have a real bump, have been in maternity pants or comfy lounge clothes since 18 weeks. Have a hard belly by the end of the night. I feel like I look huge. Have gained about 5 pounds. Was heavier than I wanted to be when I started. Have not exercised as much and this baby is sitting SOO high. All combined makes me fee 35 weeks pregnant. really worried what 3rd tri will feel like.

Anyone else in this club? Just want to feel less alone, I guess
