Today I'm 5 weeks 3 days...

...and I had to break out the maternity pants. I can't 'suck it in' anymore.

I can't believe this!! SERIOUSLY. I didn't wear maternity jeans with Arianna until I was nearly 20 weeks and went into labor when I was at the store buying my first maternity outfit - this is just unreal to me.

I'm actually a little nervous so I hope some moms of 2 or more can put my mind at ease.

Were you showing this early with your second (or third etc.) or do I have to be worried about multiples?

UPDATE: Ok, took a few days but the 'bloat' is gone. Back into regular clothes! ha!

Hi,

I'm really enjoying your blog - thank you for putting all this information in one convenient place.

When I was pregnant with #2 I was in maternity pants early also. It's almost like your body has already been through the stretching part so its just gonna blow up early. LOL

I hope you don't get any surprises at your ultrasound, but it does sound normal to me!

hey Jennifer,
I'm only a few days ahead of you and I have to admit that my larger pants are much more comfortable than my regular ones. I thought the same thing during my second pregnancy.

HA! I was the same way. Things aren't as "tight" in the midsection in subsequent pregnancies (after already having been stretched), so things tend to bulge out faster;) But...that being said, you never know! LOL

Love your blog! I found the link on babycenter. My daughter was a 30weeker born 7/14/05. She weighed in at 2lb 15oz as well and was 17inches. We are thinking of trying again so I love to read all your advice and articles.
Thanks for sharing!
