Exclamation

I just ordered my first maternity clothes!


Even though I'm not even at 11 weeks, my jeans are uncomfortably tight and I'm finding that my button-down shirts have gaps in the bust. Since summer is on the way, I just ordered a sundress, swimsuit, and tank top as well as a pair of stretchy jeans that aren't too "mommish" but should be much more comfortable.

Am I a freak of nature or has anyone else started thinking about this yet?

No you're not a freak, I ordered some maternity clothes online when I was about 5 weeks pregnant!

I didn't need them during my first pregnancy, but already my jeans are getting tighter so I figured I'm going to get a lot bigger this time round!

I just can't believe I'm getting so big so quickly! At first I was retaining a lot of water, so I developed like jowls and love handles and my fingers were swollen. That's subsided a bit but if I stand upright without sucking in my stomach I look absolutely huge. I hope I'm not gaining too much too fast.

As long as you feel healthy then I'm sure it's fine. Make the most of the stretchy clothes!

I've had my maternity jeans for a couple of weeks. I've also had 2 wear them due to all the bloating!
In my 'normal' jeans again for a couple of days now!!
