What the heck is in all of this bloat?

[Deleted]

You've had a kid already, so your body is jumping into "let's EXPAND THIS UTERUS!" mode. I started showing way, way faster with baby#2. A visible bump at 5-6 weeks, in maternity pants by 8 weeks.

Bloat was my first pregnancy symptom both times. Sucks.

How far along are you? I'm 9 weeks tomorrow with #2 and definitely have serious bloat going on. I'm worried how long I can hide it from my co-workers!

I am seven weeks and this is my second. The bloat is crazy. I seem pretty normal in the morning, but the second I eat something, my stomach is huge. I have been wearing a jacket at work when the bloat is bad.

Oh dear. Looks like I need to buy a bulky sweater to keep at work. My bloat was awful even with #1.

I feel less bloated with #2. My work best friend keeps asking when I am going to out myself. I keep telling when I start to show which isn't anytime soon. My pants are just starting to get tight at 12 weeks.

Oh my, that is some bloat

you both look cute! mekiakoo twins (half kidding, it looks like all baby to me!)

[mcfelix]

mekiakoo - are your normal clothes still fitting?

Today I zipped up but didn't fasten the top of my khakis, put a belt over it, and wore a long sweater. Ridiculous.

I had bloat like that. I "showed" so early and could not keep the news quiet at work as long as I wanted to. It was all gas and so uncomfortable.
