Anyone got a bump yet or put on weight?

[pigletpoo]

I am very confused. In my first 6 weeks of pregnancy I put on 5lbs in weight, I put that down to water retention, but I dont really know.
Then I stayed the same. Until last week when I had lost a 1lb. This week my tummy has grown a lot, jeans are a lot tighter and starting to worry how much longer i can hide it at work, so weighed myself this morning and i have lost another 2lb! Meaning only 2lb gained so far during my 11 weeks. But my tummy has gotten huge, and I feel really fat!

One theory is that my tummy is expanding because over the last couple of years I lost over 4 stone, so maybe my tummy is just filling out quicker. But what are you guys experiencing?

I am very stressed about different things at the mo, so maybe thats not helping.

When I first found out I was pregnant I started writing my weight down and I was 7st 10lb, I am now 8st 4lb. A few weeks ago I did notice my weight went back down a few lb but it's gone back up again and keeps going up slowly! I can't really wear jeans anymore but last night I went out with my OH and wore jeans, what a big mistake! It felt similar to when you go out and wear shoes to small for you. I used to be so slim and now I'm gonna have to face facts....I can't wear jeans now!

Hi,
I've eaten everything and anything I've wanted since the beginning and have put on weight at a steady pace! I think I've put on 8lbs altogether, but despite that I definately have a small bump - mostly air and water - but I'm definately a different shape than I would be if I wasn't pregnant and just put this weight on (I've been this weight and 2 stone heavier before).
When are you going to tell work? I think we'll really start to show in the next few weeks so you best get more of those fashionable smock tops if you want to hide it for longer! Seriously though, I think it's a lot more obvious to us and others probably wouldn't notice for a while.

Hi!

i put on 4 kilos really fast in the first 7 weeks. Then i had terrible morning sickness last week, so dropped back down to my original weight. My clothes are definitely tighter and i have a little bump. very slight, but definitely there!
When are you going to tell them at work piglet? i already told my boss a few weeks ago, i just wanted to get it out of the way!

Thanks for replying!

I can't tell work as it's complicated. I work for an agency that supplies residential social workers to young people in care and young offenders. You are not allowed to work with these young people if you are pregnant due to the high risk, and as i work for an agency they are not obliged to offer me any work as it is on an as and when basis. So I'm a bit stuffed really!! I need another job, but who is going to take on a pregnant woman eh?
Life is stressfull!!!!!!

Yes I've put weight on and have a bump already, having to wear trackie bottoms at the mo as everything so uncomfortable....gonna end up like an elephant at this rate lol x

Well what with the flu and sickness over the last week I have lost about 5lbs which I know isn't good but hopefully now I am starting to feel a bit better will go back on.

Jeans are a nightmare for me too, think it may be time to invest in some maternity jeans!!

I didn't have anything until I was 10.5 weeks gone. And then my tummy was no longer flat when I woke up each morning. It's still not what I would call a bump, but it has definitley changed recently and there are only so many trousers I can still wear comfortably.

Yes! I have a bit of a tummy, which could be bloatedness or the extra weight - i have also put on nearly 6 lbs!!

I am usually on such faddy diets so to be eating normally and having carbs have really taken their toll.

I had a real hissy fit yesterday as my jeans are so uncomfortable i couldn't wear them, i just seem to wear combats or jogging bottoms everyday!
