2nd time moms and the bloat

Maybe I'm just having a rough couple days but I feel so bloated and my stomach is starting to stick out more than normal....it's way too soon for this! Anyone else having this issue with bloating?

Me!! Oh it is horrible I feel as big as I was when I was 16 weeks with my DS.  I kept thinking the same thing, that it was way to early to feel this big.

Yes, feeling much bigger this time around compared to with my DD. it's definitely mainly bloat, but I think it's pretty common to show a lot earlier with second pregnancies.

I have felt huge the last 2 days, couldn't even button my jeans! This is will be my 3rd LO (4th pregnancy) but I didn't think it would be this bad, don't know how I'm going to keep this a secret until January at this point

Agree. Only 6 weeks and I feel like I have a gut. I wore a fitted sweater dress to a work holiday party tonight and had to suck it in the whole night.

Yes my bloat is very bad! I'm having to wear my maternity jeans way early because I can't button my normal pants. It is so ridiculous.

Definitely bloating already, only 4 weeks! This is my second pregnancy as well, and I am also afraid we will have to break the news sooner due to the possibility of showing sooner! I have noticed though that the bloat starts mid-day and is the worst at night. Starting this morning I am weeding out salt. Hopefully it helps!!

Maternity pants are in my VERY near future!

Oh yes. I'v been wearing A LOT of leggings and tunics/long sweaters to work. I just cannot be comfortable in my regular pants right now. It's awful. I've even had 2 people ask how far along I was... talk about embarrassing. I lost 15 pounds before finding out I was pregnant, and even though I haven't gained but a pound...it doesn't look like it. :/

I'm on baby #3 and right there with you.  By the end of the day I look 10lbs heavier.  I'm going to blame it on overindulging during the holidays if anyone comments, but in truth I gave up sweets when I got my BFP and have been very careful to not gain anything.

YES!!!!!! I don't know how I am going to wait until Christmas to announce... I can't wear any of my regular clothes. I bought myself a pair of fat pants to tide me over until the holidays! I feel like a cow

I starting using this one today... some comment about how I'll just have to diet on Jan. 1 like the rest of the world. Hoping that masked my bursting pants!

I can't believe how bloated I am. I'm on #3 and I never got this bad before - I actually look like I'm at least two months farther than I am, and feel that discomfort I normally get towards the end when baby is so big it's pushing on your ribs. My ribs are sore and I can feel things stretching! It's bizarre.

Things to avoid during pregnancy: Eye contact with cats. Cats will suck the burgeoning life right out of you, using their infamous feline mind-powers. Avert your eyes, and move along.

FACT: 1 in 10 people are said to be a carrier of Listeria. Therefore you should avoid all shopping malls, grocery stores and busy street corners for the duration of your pregnancy. Or microwave anyone you contact until steaming, just to be safe.

Me too! I can't believe how big I feel already. I don't remember this being nearly as bad the first time around.
