Rebecca Vaughn7 said:It’s driving me insane. I have exactly three pairs of pants left that I can even button up, and even then, I have to leave the top button undone. 😠Dammit, I never liked low-rise jeans anyway; everything sits way too low on my hips...it’s ridiculous. And when I actually sit down in them? It’s uncomfortable, almost painful... 😢.
If I had gained massive amounts of weight all over, I’d blame it on that, but it’s strictly just my stomach. My hips and butt—where I usually put on weight—fit perfectly fine in everything...and honestly, looking at the scale, it shouldn't even be this big of an issue...
I get that a growing belly is inevitable, but the whole point is that tomorrow marks exactly 14 weeks 🙂🙂🙂🤔🤦 of pregnancy, and now I’m freaking out that this extra size is just excess amniotic fluid or some sign that something is wrong...my appointment isn't until the 26th...who can wait that long? 😢
I hit the 14-week mark too, and I can tell you—I haven't felt comfortable in my jeans for at least 2 or 3 weeks now. Skirts are fine, but I actually had to buy a larger size of tights last week; mine were just so restrictive that after an hour or so, I could really "feel" them digging in.
And you know what the best part is? At one point I was actually under my pre-pregnancy weight, and now I'm right back where I started. 😁
By the way, my pregnancy book says something along the lines of: "You're probably noticing your clothes getting tighter by now—maybe consider picking up some maternity wear!" 😉
OT: It's so annoying when friends who've already been through this act like experts—telling me exactly what the doctor will say at my next appointment, what the baby looks like, or what I should be hearing...
of course, I'm more than happy to 🙄🙄🙄
