Your Pregnancy: Week 11

The only thing I'm not loving right now is that I don't fit in any of my clothes but I'm not ready for maternity clothes just yet! This puffy in between stage is not fashionably fun!

I totally agree! I'm 11 weeks today, and Saturday I went shopping and wanted to be comfortable. So I wore a cute-ish pair of prego cargos and spent the whole day pulling them up! It was annoying...but humerous for my friend. :)

i'm still fitting in my jeans but they are a little tight, with my first son i never bought maternity clothes i bought jeans and pants that were a little bigger and flowie shirts and dresses, maternity clothes fit your belly but the elastic is uncomfortable and the legs are always to big, they should have pregnant women design these clothes

I am now 11 weeks pregnant and not fitting in any of my clothes but am not quite ready for maternity clothes just yet. My solution...cotton leggings with long sweaters. They are very comfortable and are very fashionable as well. I am always getting compliments on my outfits! Plus it is helping me hide the "chubby" stage!

This is my second preganacy and so far all that I have done is loose weight. I have had really bad morning sickness that lasts all day. I am on meds now so hopefully I will be seeing a bump soon and needing new clothes.

I couldn't agree more! I am ready for this belly, because I am not loving the flabby feeling! :)

I haven't gained any weight yet. I have had really bad morning sickness -all day long! Doctor gave me medicine to try but it doesn't always help. I am so ready for the second trimester. I am hoping that the sickness will let up this week. Next week is Thanksgiving and I really don't want to get sick on Thanksgiving!

I have not had a bowel movement all week--is this normal? What should I do?

I don't know how much you're showing, but my last pregnancy I had a wedding at 10 weeks and wore spanx under my dress. They helped but don't make yourself uncomfortable bc you'll be further along than I was! And for the maternity clothes problem, I agree that the Bella band totally helps. You can leave your pants unbuttoned and wear it over your jeans to hold them up. Doesn't do much for my expanding thighs though :)

In the tip it says to see if you're properly hydrated, to look at the color of your urine... but how could this be accurate with the prenatal vitamin turning it bright neon yellow? Maybe I'm just not awake yet, but this doesn't make sense to me.

i thought i was at 8 weeks but at my first appt yesterday they said i was ten weeks...is it too late to hope for a heartbeat or could it still start this week?? they said they didn't find one but they also didn't see teh baby until they did an internal ultrasound...is there any hope or am i going to have to miscarry??

I am 11 weeks also today! My clothes are tighter and i have a smaller size maternity pants that my friend gave me that fit wonderfully! They are not the size I will need as i get farther along but right now at this in between stage they work great! This is my 3rd child so the weight and awkwardness hit a little early on me!

I'm 11 weeks today and I feel fat and bloated, but I am still fitting into my regular pants. Some of my tops are getting pretty interesting, as I have recently had to go up one cup size. If the girls get any bigger I will need to buy maternity tops!

I'm 11w3d with twins! I'm showing already. I've been living in my yoga pants, and I bought two pairs of maternity pants, one is still too big. I did buy a bella band, and the problem I had with that was that I always felt like I was loosing my pants, ie they would fall down... lots of tugging and adjusting.

The first 9 weeks I lost about 10lbs and I only gained 3 back. So all my clothes are falling off. I can feel myself getting bigger though and I'm so happy about it. I tend to just stay in PJs the whole day unless I'm going somewhere like school or my cousin-in-laws christmas eve party. Which I have nothing to wear to a party.

I agree with melanie....i am at the point where its like " is she pregnant or just packing on the pounds?" I want to look cute, but I look bloated all the time. I cant wait until that feeling goes away!

I too am having trouble with the puffy in between stage, but I found a belt called the belly belt. They sell it at local reatilers it is about $17. You can wear it with any pants and it if cannot button them it hides the open zipper area and helps tuck a little. It is great! Also ask a friend or relative that is a bit bigger than you if you can borrow a few things for a little while.

i agree! the "be band" is the best thing in the world! it's like a big elastic band that goes around your pants and holds them up while hiding the fact that they are not buttoned or zipped! and i'm also loving the fact that in-style shirts are baggy in the waist!

Buy the Be/Bella Band from Target!!! It's AWESOME! It's about $18 and allows you to wear pre-pregnancy pants with the button un-done and just the zipper up-- the band prevents them from falling down and showing your undies. Mine is black and kinda elastic but it looks like a layered tank top with other shirts! I've found it's a wonderful transitition from starting to show to the big step of buying and wearing maternity clothes.

Try using a rubber band to keep wearing your same pre-pregnancy pants. Its a great idea for those in between stages. Just loop it through the hole & then around the button of your pants. Also flowy shirts help hide this. Its a very cheap way :)

I have started using the Beband, it's great for being able to fit your regular clothes and if you have maternity clothes, it holds them up because I cannot fit into any of my regular pants and maternity are too big still!

I am right there with all of you. Finally people who are going through the smae thing. Ihave looped a rubber band around my button hole on my jeans and then attach it to the button. It works for now and is a lot more comfortable. A friend suggested it and it works!

So, I had been really sick since week 6 and since last Friday (week 10) I have felt really good almost back to normal my nipples aren't even sore anymore. Is this normal? Should i just be thankful that hopefully my hormones are balancing out or could this mean something is wrong and my hormone levels are going down?

I can totally relate to the, "burps, flatulence, and rumbling tummy". As for my pee, has anybody else noticed a different tint? Mine isn't necessarily darker, just brighter. Is this from the pregnancy or the prenatal vitamins? -- I looked up week 11 on a separate website and to me the baby takes an almost gummy bear appearance. =)

The in between stage is starting to get to me too. I'm too big for my normal clothes, and not big enough for my "fat" clothes. I'm getting a belly band this weekend to help with the transition!

Oh dear! I'm 11 weeks today and I'm still wearing my regular clothes but the thing is I don't fit into my skinny jeans that much anymore because of the bloating. I refuse to be one of those girls who dress up in sweatpants and sweatshirts!!! Ewwww!! Good thing is I'm short so shopping for regular clothes but in bigger sizes will not be a prob lem for me :D.

I'm thinking about looking into a belly band and see what that is all about. I already had to buy bigger jeans because of the fact that before I got pregnant my pants fitten just so but now they don't fit at all. So now I'm thinking about getting back into them with a belly band and see how it feels.

This is my first pregnancy and I just purchased a couple "belly bands" and I love them. I just wear them over my regular jeans, but I don't button them or even zip some of them, the belly bands go right over the jeans and they feel great!

It seems like i have had no symptoms...Wats wrong with me???

I agree with you ladies! I'm almost 12 weeks as most of you and it's my first pregnancy. I wear nursing scrubs, and I have to keep yanking them either below or on top of my pudgy area on my stomach. I tried buying maternity clothes this past weekend, but I don't know how big I'm going to get, and it was way big in the belly area...frustrating when my normal clothes show every extra bulge, but the maternity clothes look huge on me yet. Anyone else excited to find out what you're having?!

I am at that funny in between stage -- I have found that a belly band is the best way to keep up too big maternity pants -- or even keep your pre-pregnancy pants up while they are unfastened!

It's terrible! I wear my clothes and i feel like a sausage. LOL!

I am 11 weeks 3 days and don't have a belly yet, just this new "layer" of puffiness around my stomach, which makes me feel less than attractive. I teach 7th and 8th graders, and if you want to feel scrutinized just stand in front of them all day! Most days I wear a "mod" dress with colorful tights, a cardigan, a scarf, and comfortable flat leather boots. I am definitely ready for this fluffy stage to turn into something that resembles a baby bump!

I can't button my pants...the bellaband has been a lifesaver!

i found some maternity jeans at target. they are skinny jeans and have elastic you can adjust. they are wonderful!

I feel weird now b/c I still fit into all my clothes, and I'm talking about the clothes I had to loose weight to fit in. I guess that's a good thing, but listening to you all is making me a bit concerned. I have dr's apt tomorrow, so I guess I'll check with her to make sure everything is moving along as it should. ~ congrats to everyone ~

I can still wear my jeans, but they tend to dig a little bit into my belly. Thankfully I have some pants that are a bit big, but I agree, not too fashionable!

I went to Target and bought an elastic type product in the maternity section. This helps me to keep wearing my pants unbuttoned and they also suggest wearing it for too loose of maternity pants. I love it!! It makes my clothes last longer and they are more comfortable.

I've been using the "Bella Band" to help keep me in my regular work pants and jeans until I am ready for maternity clothes. Really helpful! And I no longer feel like I am bursting out of my clothes!

I agree they should have pregnant women or women who have been pregnant design maternity clothes. The elastic is uncomfortable espeically if you still have some symptoms of feeling sick. Im 11 wks and everytime i eat i juss feel even fatter that i already feel ugh...so not cool

Yes, the puffy in between stage is definitely not fun! I am 11 weeks today too and have also purchased one pair of maternity jeans...when I wear them I'm super comfy, but have to constantly pull them up as well. My regular jeans fit, but I'm uncomfortable when I sit for long periods of time... I'm wearing lots of scarves to cover up my bloat until week 13...fingers crossed!!!

I was lucky enough to drop 30 pounds before I got pregnant, so my old pants, tshirts and sweaters all will fit when I get bigger, at 11 weeks I can still wear my skinny jeans =oD

This is the time that yoga pants come in handy they are comfy and they don't look as sluggish as sweats all day lol

I also agree with all of you. This is my first pregnancy and I must say compared to the shape I was in before...I feel huge, I can't fit into any of my clothes anymore and my mother being since this is her first grandchild is trying to get me to shop for maternity clothes already so her grandchild could be comfortable...lol, so i have to walk around looking like a bag lady until I can actually fit the maternity clothes, oh what fun!

Thank heavens for a belly band! I would not survive without one right now. I was moving between sizes when I found out I was pregnant anyways, so my clothing was starting to feel a little snug. Snug clothing and morning sickness do not mix! I wear a stretchy Bee Band and that helps me get more use out of my old clothing as well as wear a few maternity items I don't quite fit yet.

Im enjoying every bit of this..its a wonderful experience....i love my baby bump

I am feeling the "bloat" so I have just purchased jeans and pants one size bigger. I figure they will be great for right after I give birth and just need the little extra room also. I am just paring the jeans with longer t-shirts and blouses.

This is my third pregnancy and the in-betwen stage is not fun. I am still in my regular cloths, however this time I am prepared! I have purchased a Belly Band. You can still where your regular cloths, but you just don't have to button up your pants! Brilliant really! I haven't tried it yet, but it's there for when I need it! My girlfirend used one and she says it just looks like you are wearing a tank top!

Luckily, I live in a warm area: LA. I've starting wearing my old summer dresses and they are so comfortable, stylish and they make me feel feminine. You can add leggings and a cardigan to keep you warmer too.

I HATE feeling like my pants are too tight. I found the cutest maternity jeans at gap. They have a 2 inch elastic waistband, so they don't really feel like maternity clothes. They are really cute and no one can tell the difference. Now I am comfortable. phew!

Get a tummy sleeve. It's awesome. You wear your jeans and put the tummy sleeve over them so you can't tell that you can't shut them. Then your shirt goes over top of it. It looks like your wearing two shirts. I love it

You guys are lucky! I had to start wearing maternity clothes at 9 weeks because i bloated up so bad in my belly area that it was completley ridicuolous to think that i caould wear my regular clothes!! But i like maternity clothes, they're so comfy! Just give in and let it happen!

I bought a BellaBand, this solves the problem for most pants that I can't button anymore. I did find a nice pair of maternity dress pants with a band too, that seem to fit the bill right now.

My bellaband and leggings have been my saviors! Can't fit into most of my pre-pregnancy pants, but didn't want to spend a ton on maternity pants just yet. The bellaband is wonderful!! Although I did get some maternity shirts and dresses...they are so comfortable!

I am with all of you my pants are too tight but maternity clothes are to big! I was told to try Old Navy though because they have Maternity clothes that are in stages (0-3mo, 3-6 mo, etc.) I am ready to just have the actual bump!

I bought the belly band, and will probably have to start using it soon, but it's really helpful! You can leave your jeans unzipped and put it over the zipper, so it looks like you're wearing a long tank top! I can't wait until people actually think i'm pregnant, and not just gaining a few pounds!

I am in the middle of my 11th week and I totally feel all of you. Ive just started getting a little pudgy and none of my regular jeans will button and the maturnity pants that I have bought wont stay up all the way. Ive resorted to safety pinning my pants together or just wearing lounge pants (which I wont be able to do much longer because its getting soooo hot outside).

I'm also 11 weeks today and I'm not loving this in between stage, either... I have a bit of a bump but it's tiny - I mean, it's big enough where my regular pants don't fit but small where maternity clothing is too big! UGH! This fashion netherworld is no fun!

Black yoga pants are your friend and the empire waist shirts that are so popular! This is my second and I bought some post preggo clothes that are working fabulously for this in between stage. A few pieces make a huge difference in your overall view of self. It's worth it because you'll use them in the months after baby is born too!

Yes is is horrible feeling like a cow at only 11 wweeks. None of my jeans fit anymore. All I wear is sweat pants. I have a pair of maternity capris but but are they are huge still. Also this is my tird pregnancy I have had to c sections already and I am beginning to feel the pain that I felt at 7 months, but I have to work right.... so I just take it in.

i dont feel like im bigger at all. a little bloated after i eat but all of my jeans still button and i have no sort of bulging. should i be worried?

Honestly Ive never been more comfortable than in maternity clothes. This is my first pregnancy and I was on prochieve from 3 wks to 10wks and was very bloated. As soon as my clothes got uncomfortable I bought the belly band and some maternity clothes. Pulling them up every now and than is worth the comfort. Plus, I didnt want to buy "bigger" clothes since I indeed to drop back to my pre-baby weight by 6 months. The best maternity pants I found was Kohl's and I also bought VERY comfortable gouchos from Target. Those are my favorite. Summer/spring dresses have also been such a comfort zone!! I hated feeling fat and still do. Believe me I've balled my eyes out in dressing rooms but my sister told me, be comfortable and don't wear anything snug, being comfortable helps your mood too. She was totally right!

Have any of you ladies started to show? Im 11 weeks and feel as if I could be but not all that sure because it could just be bloating or puffiness.

I love that it's almost Summer! I've been taking advantage of all my sundresses. If I can wear these dresses all summer I don't think I'll have to buy maternity until 6 or 7 months along...if that. Now underwear on the other hand...blech.

Here is a tip for making your jeans or pants with a button fit a little longer. Loop a rubber band through the button hole on your jeans and then wrap it around the button itself to give you a little extra room. I use the kind of elastic hair rubber band I'd use for my hair. I'm 11 weeks and not quit ready for maternity pants yet and this trick works for now.

Im Eleven Weeks, && Yesterday Me && My Boyfriend Went To My OB App, && Tried Hearing The Heart Beat, && No Sound!! It Scared The Hell Out Of Us, But They Did An Ultersound, && My Baaby Is Still There(: It Was Just To Early To Hear The Heart Beat, Talk About Heart Attack.!! But They Thought I Was 12 Weeks, So I Found Out That I Wasnt!

Glad to see I'm not the only one just feeling "puffy" at this stage. I'm also in my "fat" jeans and comfy pants - Hoping I can go a few more weeks before buying real maternity clothes.

I also have the in-between stage were nothing really fits right. A client of mine gave me a great idea that will save a few bucks on maternity pants. When your pants can go on ok and zip up but wont exactly button, use a rubber band and loop it through the button opening and then secure it around the button. I did that this weekend and it works like a charm!!

Totally agree with all of you although some of my pants still fit great. Like three don't but the rest are still ok. 

Starting to round out a lil, cant fit my pants anymore which sucks! But all in all I would say that everything is going great. Not as tired as I was before, now I can actually get some stuff done! yay for that!

Try the Bella Band! It slides over the top of your jeans (too small pre-preggers or too big maternity) and helps with the difference. I don't button the top of my regular jeans and the band keeps them held up. I love mine!

Omg. I am SO jealous, I'm 11w2d this week.. I am a average-looking girl, eat the whole time, rarely have a BM, yet, NOTHING shows on my belly:P I dont even have a small bump. Tho, I can feel that the jeans are a bit tighter on my hips to get up, but I have NO belly. I am sligthly looking forward to haveing the belly, cuz I have seen the most adorable thing I can wear:) Congrats to every woman on pasing the most sceptic face of the pregnancy < />

My pants have become painful so I gave in and bought maternity clothes, I have to pull my pants up often, but at least I'm not in pain! I tried my "fat" pants and it just made me feel miserable and they looked awful. I have to say, maternity pants are a lot more comfortable than they were 9 years ago when I was pregnant with my first!

I am also in that in between stage were my pants dont fit but maternity pants are too big, i found belly bands to be a huge help, they keep my regular pants up and the bigger belly in the maternity pants where it needs to be, and it is great cause it looks like you are layering your shirts, no one is the wiser. Got mine at target.

Frist pregnancy, is anyone expereicing very mild to not so mild pelvic cramping?? I am 11 weeks andactually look 14 wks. got it bad, only in the stomach.

I agree the awkward in between maternity clothes and regular clothes stage, is terrible! But I got a Bella Band to wear with my regular jeans it allows me to keep my pants unbuttoned but still keeps them up, it is actaully comfortable.

I don't really know how far along I am. I calculated from the first day of my last period and I would be 11 weeks. went to the Dr. last week adn they did an ultrasound and said that I am only 8 weeks. Now I am confused as to how big my baby is and how far along I am. Has anyone else experienced this?

I loved my "secret belly" jeans with my first son but I'm not quite there yet. I noticed with this pregnancy I'm getting bigger much faster. My jeans didnt get tight until I was into my second trimester.

I love the belly band I got from Target. Allows me to wear my regular pants withough actually buttoning them! Makes live so much easier!

"Motherhood" has the best maternity clothes for the early months. I'll 11 weeks and am very comfortable. They have this belly band that goes completely around on all their pants, capris, & shorts. They fit great now and will be perfect even when i'm as big as a house. :)

I agree with you all about this horrible "in between" stage. None of my clothes fit and I just look fat in everything, yet maternity clothes are still too big. I want a real bump already!

I am still wearing my regular clothes just had to buy the belly bands because I cannot button my pants but I can still zipper them up, LOL!!!!! But it helps so you don't have to rush and buy maternity clothes.

I agree right now I just feel fat not pregnant! lol

I went shopping for maternity clothes about 2 weeks ago because my pants no longer button, lol...PLEASE ladies, don't feel discouraged about the maternity clothes. I managed to fing the COOLEST stuff to wear at ROSS. All the pants that I bought have a 3 inch elastic waistband that not only makes them fit me now, but will fit when I'm 9 months along. Don't feel as if you have to spend a fortune on clothes that you don't think you'll wear for very long. When I tell people that these are maternity clothes that I'm wearing, they are SHOCKED!!

I'm in the in between stage too :(. my jeans don't fit, so I have a band thing, but everything else is just awkward right now. I can't wait to get big enough to get maternity clothes so I can look halfway normal!

Old Navy maternity has really good in between clothes. They have some pants and jeans that have just a little elastic around the waistband instead of going right to those really big ones that conver your whole stomache.

HAHA! I agree! I am in that stage where none of my jeans fit, but I'm not sure if maternity clothes are in order just yet. SO it looks like I am going shopping very soon. Oh, darn. ;P

I almost dread my afternoon naps... If I can't lay down for a full two hours, I wake up nauseated, weak and really really cranky, even if I laid down feeling fine! Is there anything i can do to feel better when I wake up? It makes me dread getting tired in the afternoon! I am 11 1/2 weeks now... I know, the rough part is almost over, thank you.

I feel the same way, uncomfortable in regular pants, but I'm swimming in the maternity clothes. But someone told me to loop a ponytail holder around the pant button, stick thru the button hole and back around the button. My regular pants fit great with that little bit of extra room. I think they sell actual pant extenders at walmart.

Get a Belly Band!!! I bought mine at Target and they work well for when you are between regular clothes and maternity clothes. you can leave you pants undone and the belly band will hold your pants up no problem! I LOVE MINE!

Thank God I am not the only 1 feeling this way...This is my 1st pregnancy and I am 11 weeks tomorrow and I am so uncomfortable...I feel FAT! Nothing fits and everything is tight all I do is lay around in my sweats and my baggy shirts...not sure how I am going to pull of my 2piece swim suit for the 4th of July tom...this could be interesting!! LOL

I'm also 11weeks. I cant button any of my pants! I had to buy a BellaBand, now I can wear my pre-pregnancy pants. I'm still too small for actual maternity clothes. I cant believe this kid is already the size of a lime. :)

I had to laugh, they say to start buying maternity clothes by now, but I only weigh 105 lbs. I don't even show. lol. The only thing I have is the upset tummy. Even crackers don't settle it.

I went out yesterday and bought a belly band it works so good because I am 11 weeks and i'm in between maternity clothes and regular ones It helps...

My pants are starting to get a little tight, enough so that they're uncomfortable to wear. I've been sticking with dresses, thank goodness it's summer. People have told me it's time to start shopping for maternity clothes, but I just feel ready for that yet.

my dr office gave me a "pregnancy planner." so far i found 1 tip that has worked for me. my regular pants are just a bit snug right now and the planner says to loop a hair tie around the button of your jeans then through the button hole and back around the button again. it has worked great for me so far!

Well tosay I am 11 weeks and I have been wearing maternity clothes for about 2 weeks know. They fit me so well I can't hide me belly if I tried to. But my question is this, is it way to early to be showing b/c I def have ben for awhile. I know that everybody's body is different. My godsister found out she was preggoat 10 weeks and she already had a bump and she was so tiny . Can anyone answer that question for me please

I have this horrible metallic taste in my mouth does anyone else experience this amazing symptom?? I hate it!

I feel disgusting. My skin is horrible and I feel really fat and sleepy. I don't have a belly yet, I am just getting wide.

This is my third pregnancy and I am already too big for my clothes at 12 weeks. I can fit into my maternity clothes, but I don't feel like I look "pregnant" yet. I feel like I just look fat right now. I am bigger quicker this time but wish I would hurry up and get to the point of actually looking pregnant.

I feel sooooooo nauseated its almost unbearable. I didn't feel like this with my 3 boys people says that's signs of a girl is this true?

11 weeks and bought my first pair of maternity jeans this past weekend. Thought I would hate the GIANT elastic band on the waist but OMG they are SO soft and comfy. Got the "secret fit belly" jeans at Motherhood Maternity and I'm saying goodbye to my regular jeans with the hair tie around the button and embracing maternity jeans just for the soft comfortable fabric on my belly. Bonus: they make a nice smooth surface across your belly (no buttons or zippers) so it's easier to see and rub your growing tummy! I'm pretty thin so it's impossible to hide my bump any longer! If you are at that in-between stage, I say go for it! It's so fun to maternity shop and clothes are SO much more comfy!

have you tried any maternity clothes? bc i have been wearing xs maternity clothes since my normal clothes are not fitting

This is very exciting-How fast our babies are growing! I mean last week baby was the size of an olive, today the size of a lime!! Its such an amazing thing! As far as the clothes go, yeah, Im feeling pretty uncomfortable and fat. I've gained about 7 pounds, my clothes fit, but are not comfortable AT ALL. I bought some maternity shorts and they are so comfortable, but they are kinda dorky looking and Im having a hard time finding shirts that are long enough to cover the band on them, without wearing a way to large maternity shirt. This inbetween stage kinda sucks looks wise. I cant wait for a big baby bump!!

I'm 11 weeks and still no sign of a tummy. Still wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans. This is probably all due to the morning sickness and not being able to keep food down. But I did go up a bra size which is annoying.

For those in-between times, I have found that the "be-band" from target works really well... It is much like a tube top, super stretchy and strong, but it goes around your hips and waist. You can use it to hold up your not buttoned prepregnancy jeans, or over too big maternity pants. Awesome invention!!!

Yeah the "puffy" stage is no fun. Im looking into maternity bands so i dont have to button my pants witch is getting harder to do each day. Also with the bands you dont have get maternity pants.

try the bella band. you can get it at target and motherhood maternity it helps you wear your jeans a little longer. also look into dressy leggings and yoga pants you can dress them up well. we are on baby number six, and i have learned a lot of little tricks to first trimester clothing problems! also women invest in a great sleep bra it will help with the breast tenderness! also help from sagging in the future!

I am 11 weeks today! I got really lucky and was able to find Old Navy pants that fit me. They are a little baggy, but they beat putting on my jeans that are definitely not fitting around me anymore.

well im so unhappy now i want to the doctor and at 11 weeks to find out my baby dont have a heart beat so ladys how do get over your lost and this make the baby number 2 that me and my huband have lost

I don't necessarily feel fat at 11 weeks, just extremely bloated, like I can't suck in my tummy. The constipation has been my biggest enemy and has made my first pregnancy quite miserable thus far.

I completely agree! I bought some gap maternity pants with the demi panel, and those are working great to start me out. My other pants were just entirely too tight. I've also bought some maternity shirts that will stretch with me as my belly grows, but that don't look like i'm swimming in them now. Gap rocks, IMO.

I'm 11 weeks, and had to buy new bras a month ago (luckily they were selling two for 15 bucks, in basic colors, SCORE) and I was bummed that I had bought brand new jeans right before I got pregnant (since I was losing weight) and a few weeks later, they don't fit anymore. I'm in my fat jeans now, and yoga pants at home- my problem has been my shirts! (I say I'm showing...but my boyfriend doesn't believe me...) I've been picking up some shirts at Plato's Closet- they're cheap enough that I don't mind outgrowing them. =]

I have only gained about 5 lbs but feel like I gained 50...

Get a bellaband, you can wear your pre pregnancy pants unbuttoned.

The Motherhood maternity store is amazing! I'm only 11 weeks, just went to try on clothes out of curiosity and they already fit me. I'm not a big girl but not skinny either, but I am definitely more comfortable now in maternity clothes than regular. It's definitely worth it to start wearing them now, especially since you can get enough wear out of them so it can justify how much you spend on buying maternity clothes!

I'm 11 weeks and my pants still fit everywhere but the waist! I can't believe that I already have a belly.We heard the heartbeat a couple days ago. This is so exciting!

I am 11wks today, but have already started wearing my maternity clothers. Yes they are baggy, but they feel better on my tummy. I figure sooner or later tthey will fit, I have a chance of showing way early because I'm pregnant with twins. Might as well break the pants in now! :-)

If you can believe this, I've been in maternity cloths for about 3 weeks now. They were big at first, but unfortunatly they now fit :( Not good considering I'm just over 11 weeks along...sigh....

My friends introduced the BELLY BAND to me and all I have to say is thank goodness!

I'm 11 weeks today with my second pregnancy. While pregnant with my son, I never had morning sickness, with this pregnancy I have it like clock work every night at 7:30. I've had to buy maternity clothes already. We heard our baby's heart beat for the first time yesterday! It was indescribable!

I agree with each and every one of you all my jeans seem to be tight like I gained 30lobs over night and I've only gained between 5-7lbs. But I'm hoping that this belly of mine will start to round out more so these maternity pants will fit because they just feel like a roller coaster going up and down and up and down!!!!! =) Well best of luck to those in the weeks your in we're hoping for a boy, and all I can do now is sleep and I'm so tired but half the time am doing nothing but sitting down and doing homework. So the baby and my body must be at some hard work getting things together in there!

I'm sOo ready for this nausea to go away... please hurry! X_x

This is my first pregnancy and I already have a firm baby bump! I had to have my Mom confirm that it wasn't just bloat anymore -hahaha. I'm so big already that even though I only saw one baby on our 9 week ultra sound, I'm not entirely convinced that there wasn't another one hiding.

I feel like I am huge at 11 weeks! I only really fit into sweats or maternity clothes. At least maternity clothes show that it's a round belly. Definitely surprised to be showing given that I eat hardly anything and I am relatively athletic. Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm almost 12 weeks now, but I've outgrown all of my work pants two weeks ago. On top of that I've been dealing with a 5 day migrane and can't take anything to get rid of it. Tylenol just does not do it!

lil one is the size of a lime .. so hard to believe!! So excited just dont know what to do with myself .. Four years ago I gave birth to my son and here we go all over again.. Woohooo!

yes 11 weeks today as well and this is my first pregnancy.. my jeans are still fitting to an extend.. I have an elastic band hooked around the button to give me a little more room. Does anyone know where to find some cute long sweaters to wear with leggings? I can't seem to find any..

Ladies that are having problems with Constipation and Nausea still, Listen close.....you need to ask for a prescription prenat called PRENEXA. it helps ease morning sickness for most, it is about the size of a hot tamale (the candy) and is the same consistancy so it slides right down...Also it has a built in stool softner that will keep you super regular. remember PRENEXA...fan freaking tastic!!!

Im 10 weeks 5 days today ive gained a lbs a week 11 lbs so far i started out way to thin 102lbs size 0 or 1 juniors i havent started wearing maternity clothes yet but i did break out my size 3 pants since im 113lbs now anyone else gain 11lbs in 11weeks!?

my pants don't stay up, i'm 11w5d. The fat that was on my waist that use to hold the pants has moved up I swear so I walk and they start to move south. I guess it's good I'll have to add buttons on the inside of the jeans and get that elastic stuff to make temporary maternity jeans, i don't want to invest in them.

I am so happy about my new baby, its exciting since we planned it - my first was a surprise but I really hate how i'm getting fat so fast. It can't be healthy, with my son I barely gained 5lbs till 5 months. Now I'm 11 weeks and have gained 13lbs. with that said i can't fit into any clothes except some maternity clothes from last time but i feel like they are outdated - not stylish enough. Makes me scared because this is a nine month long process - why am I getting so much fatter faster?

I have this bloated belly that looks like a baby belly already, and my FAT pants aren't comfy... :( My man keeps telling me I'm ravenous and that helps a lot!!!

Thank goodness for long tank tops that layer! I haven't been able to do up the bottom button on any of my work pants since week 9.

I too am 11 weeks today and this is my third child. The only thing that is different is the morning sickness ALL DAY, EVERYDAY! I have tried everything from eating crackers to drinking ginger ale. They work for a little bit and then it starts all over again. Does anyone have any other suggestions that might help?

I am at 11 weeks today, and definitely agree about this in between stage. None of my pants are comfortable, too snug around the waist, but don't want to wear the stretchy pants out of the house, feel like a bum. ;) So I just change as soon as I get home. I have also not had any morning sickness, but several horrible headaches, a few migraines, I'm hoping once I am thru the 1st trimester I will get some relief from this. I have yet to have my actual 1st doctor visit, gotta love the military. My appt is the middle of next week, and I have to do the 3 hour Glucose tolerance test, yuck!! I had gestational diabetes with my 1st baby, so hoping I won't with this pregnancy. Just venting, thanks for reading. =)

11 weeks today!!!! woo Hoo but really hope this all day sickness crap goes away soon. I have lost 6 lbs within 2 weeks from throwing up constantly . i will crave something then as soon as I eat it I get nautious and it doesnt sound good anymore.. sooooo annoying. and I am already in maternity pants and I love them. but i do still feel pudgy and dont look so pregnant yet. but the good news is I went to the doctor on friday and heard the babys heartbeat. Good and Storng. Best feeling in the world !!!!!

if you're outgrowing your regular clothes but aren't ready for the maternity clothes just yet, try getting one of those belly bands. you wear your old pants unbuttoned then the band over them to hold them up. make sure to wear a long enough shirt to cover, but it works. you could also try a rubber band to do the same thing. just loop it around the button, through the buttonhole, then back around the button.

I am at the 11 week mark, and I feel GREAT! I have ocassional gas and feel a little bloated, but I am still fitting in my regular clothes and have not gained any weight thus far! Hope the remainder of my pregnancy goes this well!

Im 11 weeks and 4days pregnant and so far I've been losing weight. My morning sickness was awful when i was 8-10 weeks pregnant. Now it's not so bad and only in the early mornings occasionally. My food nutritionist at my ob's clinic recommended preggie pops and it has helped me a lot this past week. They helped to give me an appetite when i felt nauseas. As for my clothes, my jeans still fit me but i cant button them so i have to put a rubber band.

I'm so glad to hear that y'all aren't fitting into your regular clothes either! I feel the exact same way! Hopefully within the next couple of weeks we'll fit into maternity clothes! I did find a good pair of Gap maternity jeans that I can wear now. Congrats to you all!

I'm 11 weeks. Keep seeing so many LOSING weight. Please tell me I'm not the only one GAINING. (like 15 lbs :( )

This is the stage where people look at you and wonder "is she fat or pregnate?" I hate the in-between stage of clothes!

I'm 11 weeks today. I've been feeling not well for the past 11 weeks w/ nausea, backpain, fratige, & sleepiness. I had 4 days of m/s free during my 9 weeks but it came back since. Terrible, terrible! I still fit in my regular size jeans but my belly starts to shows a bit due to bloating. I'm not gaining weight yet. My routine 3 times a week running on treadmill has been reduced to 1 time/week because I feel so tired and nauseated all the time. My belly is getting a little fatter due to lack of exercise, I guess.

For those of you who feel that maternity pants are too soon, but your regular pants are way to tight, check out old navy's real waist and low rise maternity pants. I just got a pair of jeans and a pair of cords. I LOVE them!

Ugh! So glad to hear that I am not alone! Trying to get ready for church this morning was a drag! I feel like everything makes me look like I have a beer gut. And since most people don't know I'm pregnant yet, I really don't want to look pregnant. I don't feel ready for maternity pants yet but I only have one pair of jeans that still fit and I can only wear those so many times in a row!

Im due June 16th, and my doctors office said Im 11 weeks now, wouldnt I only be 10 weeks? Am I calculating incorrectly? Oh and Melaniew4, Im sooo in the inbetween stages and feel unattractive in my clothes, I need larger sizes but then feel like I just look fat, and maternity looks like Im faking a pregnancy LOL!!! Cant wait for the bump to show.

Leggings have been a life saver for me. I am 11 weeks today and out of all my old jeans. Thank goodness leggings are in style!

I'm exactly 11 weeks today and have been so lucky not to have any morning sickness..yet! I pray it skips me totally. Strong smells do make me gag and I get nauseated some. There have been a few times where I couldn't eat but a few bites of dinner or none at all. I lost 8 lbs. b/w 2nd and 3rd appts which they said was normal. I can't wait to start seeing a belly bump though. Clothes still fit but r getting tighter. I need to be drinkin more water but like some of u have said, I think the vitamins have a lot to do with the yellowish color of my urine. I like the sound of hte Belly Band too..might have to get one of those pretty soon.

Get the Bella band...or even Target has a version of it. They're amazing, and you'll be able to wear your own pants still!

I LOVE being pregnant. We are so excited, just want to big round belly now!!!!!!!:->

After reading these posts I feel like such an oddball. My regular pants were getting pretty tight so I broke down and bought a pair of slacks a size bigger than usual, but they felt huge and frumpy. So I decided to wear the maternity pants my aunt gave me. I absolutely LOVE them. They fit much better in the legs and tushy than my "fat" pants and still have the stretchy band to make me feel more comfortable. So try getting maternity pants with a small elastic waistband. Very comfy.

iam 11 weeks today and not showing yyyy?? but i also have gestational diabetes so ive been on a diet and im not even fat!!

I can't believe my lil baby has is starting to get hair and lil teeth:) I can't wait to meet him or her, that's all i think about!!!!! 6 more months to go, yay:)

I am only 11 weeks and one day and i feel the same as the other pants aren't fitting just right anymore so lately I have been rocking the good old sweat pants and sweat shirts its the most comfortable thing i could find so far.

I'm 11 weeks today and my pants are staring to dig into my belly a bit. I just had a co-worker offer me pants a size bigger than mine that she doesn't wear anymore until I'm ready for maternity clothes! I'm also going to try a belly band this week. It's hard to love your body during the in-between stage when you just feel kinda fat but seeing my little baby wiggling around on the ultrasound this week really changed my perspective.

i would like to know that if usg report is showing babys blader is persistently distended than what is it?

I am in between as well! I wish I could hang out in sweats all day! I recently lost a fair bit of weight so I have a wardrobe that spans sizes 14 (now) to 24. The bigger clothes don't fit right, but they are more comfortable than squeezing into the smaller ones. My symptoms are starting to let up this week, but I don't look pregnant yet, just that I may have put back on some of those pounds I lost... but I have only gained 1-2 pounds this trimester...

My clothes are just starting to feel snug and at least with winter approaching I can hide the pudge behind sweaters until I get to the firmer belly stage.

So, 11weeks along and yes, I feel fat. Yes, I feel totally bloated. Yes, some things make me gag when I smell them. But the MOST annoying thing right now is being hungry all the time and not being able to eat! My stomach has already moved up into my lungs (I was blessed with a short torso), and I am so tired of snacking all the time! All I really want is a steak and some mashed potatoes!!!

11 weeks along and I bought 4 belly bands on ebay for $25 (that includes shipping). SO much cheaper than buying them anywhere else and paying $15 per band. The bands are great to keep your old pants up and hide the fact that they are unbuttoned and unzipped. Wish I had these with last pregnancy. As for any tall mommies out there, I am 5'9" and almost all reg. preg pants are short. I can't afford to buy tall preg pants, so I took my old preg pant to seamstress and she added 3 inches of denium to my 2 pairs of jeans and they look great and only cost me $12 to get it done. Doing it with all of the short pants now.

haha totally there with the clothes. all I see is Belly and Boobs. Clothes that fit during the day make me want to scream by night time. I go between IM SO FAT to IM STARVING!!!!!! so annoying! I laugh though, because eating and crying are really our only stress relief!

All my pants are too tight, definitley with everyone on not enjoying the "not quite baby bump" stage! DH ordered me a belly belt extension kit, cannot wait for it to get here! Tired of unbuttoning my pants when I drive;)

First pregnancy, heard the heart beat last week and told my parents telling my boyfriends parents on Christmas. Very very nervous, don't have a lot of symptoms have the 12 week screening next week

My little lime!!! this week has been much better then the rest of the weeks. I'm soo glad that im feeling much better. My coat was getting really tight arough the stomach lol you kno how you button a shirt and inbetween the buttons there are wholes cuz of the tightness? well that's what was going on with my coat so I got a beautiful maternity pea coat perfect for the rest of winter! cant wait to whip out my summer dresses and be comfy all summer long!! i will be 12 weeks tomorrow and i cant wait... bye bye 1st trimester hello feeling good and getting bigger! < />

I agree with all of the comments on being "in between" regular and maternity clothes--I went shopping last week and bought a tummy band, which they didn't have last time I was pregnant and the first time I didn't need maternity clothes--LOVE the band!!!! I had rubberbanded my pants for a couple weeks, but the band is much more comfortable.

I am 11 weeks today, everythng has been fine and all of a sudden this awful headache for 2 days with nausea...what can i do ??

Jeggings (Jean leggings)! They are a lifesaver, look like jeans but fit comfy like leggings and they're cheap at NY&Co.

I am 11 weeks pregnant and not showing! normal for anyone else?

I'm 11 weeks today 1/6/11 and I'm already in maternity clothes. Mine fit wonderful, i just fold down the over belly part. I haven't gained any weight but defenitaly uncomfortable in my regular clothes. Maybe you didn't buy the right size maternity clothes... Just a thought.

This is my 5th pregnancy and i can really tell that i'm growing faster than my other pregnancies, I feel frustaded when i have to think about what i'm going to wear today. But anyway all what i can do is enjoy and be happy for this big blessing that God sent me.

I am 11wks1d. I went to Thyme Maternity and a lot of their pants and tops are meant to stretch so you can wear them throughout your pregnancy. They also have a sample belly that you can velcro on to see how the pants stretch and how you will look. I feel so much better. The pants are so comfortable that I think I might just buy matrnity pants from now on :) Lots of sales on now too!

I am 11 weeks today and I'm right there with all of you and not fitting into clothes. The best thing I've found is a belly band at target!! It covers up the top of your pants if you can't button them...and if it hangs out the bottom of your shirt it just looks like a tank top. Also, you can take an elastic pony-tail holder, loop it through the button hole in your pants and loop it around the button!!!! It makes such a huge difference!!!!!

I feel fat before 4 pm. At morning I have a flat stomach, but then in the afternoon I become a fat girl. Very strange!!

I'm 11 wks today and dreading going to work. I work in a deli and it absolutely bothers me now that I'm pregnant. The worst thing is the fryer! The smell of that oil just jump starts my nausea. I'm def thinking about changing depts.

Elastic hairties around the waist button closures to expand pant size and longer shirts keep me comfy, im 11 weeks and I don't need to shop for new clothes yet =D

I'm 11 weeks today! I do have my baby bulge :) My jeans fit quite tight and uncomfortable, so what I did was, I went to Old Navy, bought their line of "Yoga" pants($12). They're stretchy spandex-ish, and they have this fold/flap that instead of folding it down, I fold it up over my tummy :) looks just like maternity pants, except, I still feel great :)

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years and are absolutely thrilled to be expecting but whoa, morning sickness is kicking my butt!!! Still excited but even more excited for the second trimester. I just pray I am not one of those that are sick the whole 9 months. Just one step at a time...

I completely agree! NOT fitting into anything! Ready for something to change!

I'm right there with you all....I'm 11 weeks today and maternity jeans are way too big and I keep having to pull them up. My regular jeans are super tight around the midsection making it uncomfortable. Leggings have been a wonderful option except it will start getting too hot for those soon lol. Wearing leggins instead of jeans has also made me look more pregnant than just plump lol.

I am right there with ya ladies!!! Has anyone tried the Pajama Jeans, very interested in how they fit/ look! Good luck with your prego stages.

I'm getting a little to big for my regular jeans. But yet to small for maternity clothes. A good option is to use a hair rubber band and wrap it around your jean button and through the button loop. Really works for me and it feels so much better. I'm also just buying regular shirts that are a little bigger are the stomach area. They are in fashion now and you can still wear them after baby.

i am 10 wks and i have gone up 4 cup sizes so far every couple of weeks i have to get a new bra dose anyone know any good places to maybe get a good sports bra or something because i feel like a 36 g is going to be impossible to find

Is it really horrible that I have not taken my prenatal s in a week. I just have been so nauseous that I can't take them. I am 11 weeks today.

Luckily prior to pregnancy I dropped a ton of weight so I have plenty of fat jeans to move into. The problem is at 11 weeks I just feel fat and no one can tell I'm pregnant. It leaves me feeling a bit self conscious. I feel like the inbetween stage will last forever.

I don't feel like i have changed at all except that my clothes don't fit. I feel the same way I did 11 weeks ago but now I'm eating more now.

Guess I'm lucky that I can still squeeze into my jeans!!

I suppose that is the only real plus side of being a little overweight going into pregnancy...I can wear the maternity pants now because my belly is actually bigger than it should be! Not something to brag about, really, but it does make it a little easier to get dressed :) For the record, I was trying to lose weight before we learned I was expecting...I guess the Lord had different plans :)

this is my third pregnancy and im actually feeling like im loosing weight. i havent been able to hold food down i been throwing everything up to a point were i had to go to er and turns out i was dehydrated i never went threw this with my other 2 i cant wait until im able to eat again

I only have 1 pair of jeans that still fit me and my shirts are getting tight. My bras are getting to be too small. This in- between stage sucks! The only thing that has been keeping me going between my all day sickness and my clothes not fitting is the fact that by september I will have the greatest thing anyone could ever have!

Before spending a lot of money on maternity pants, just buy a BellBand by ingrid & isabel. You can still wear your favorite jeans that aren't zipping up now. You just wear the band folded over and it holds them up. It also holds up too-loose maternity pants.

G0iNG iN T0 THE SEC0ND TRiEMESTER ♥ CANT WAiT Till MY BABYS HERE THiS iS MY FiRST CHilD && iM 17 S00N T0 BE 18 AC0UPlE 0F WEEKS AFTER MY BABYS B0RN iHAVE 0NE QUSTi0N WHY 0N HERE iTS liKE EVERYB0DYS FAMilY && Y0U D0NT HAVE T0 W0RRY AB0UT BEiNG JUDGED BUT liKE 0N FACEB00K PE0PlE AlWAYS HAVE S0METHiNG T0 SAY :/ KiNDA B0THERS ME BUT iM HAPPY iM GUNA BE A M0MMY!(: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

so far my clothes are sweats, this is my 3rd pregnancy and im in between my clothes as well. so i just buy a size bigger in sweatpants, tie up, and out the door i go:D

I'll be 11 weeks on Tuesday and can't wait til my 1st trimester is over. this pregnancy is so different from my 1st one. Nauseated, feeling big etc. And some maternity pants fit already.

Well, the only differences I can see and feel is that I'm getting a bit bigger, I'm always hungry and I pass gas more. No morning sickness at all. I've been told I'm lucky.

11 weeks!! yes i am.. and i totally agree with u ladies.. i feel like my tummy is just all fat.. grrr... i feel so fat right now..

I dont plan on getting any maternity clothes (except for a pair of jeans). My plan is to wear strech leggins and t-shirts with flowy sweaters over them. In spring and summer, baby doll dresses, peasant tops and "cute" looks. Def do not WANT to become the boreing, fat mom. I plan on being a "sexy-preggy" and MILF when baby arrives, lol

well I am pregant again cant wait to see what the baby is, but more nervous with this one I think it is cause this one was actually planned lol

I know! Im eleven weeks and two days and I feel like a whale! I wish target had more selection as far as pants go I cant squeeze into anything!

Went to the doctor today....Was hoping for so much more to happen but it did'nt ...all they did was confirm my pregnancy, now i have to wait for my OBGYN appt. I really hope it comes fast & i don't have to wait long...Cause I worry about the baby & if it's okay...it's on my mind all the time....am i the only one thats this way? :(

Best thing ever for this stage...LEGGINGS!! or Jeggings - they stretch and you can wear a cute tunic or jacket with them ;) Also, plain ts and cute scarfs (Old Navy has some great ones) help to hide the little bulge ;)

Well..im still fitting into my same clothes...yet it feels uncomfortable after I wear the pants 4 a few hrs

Ugh! I am 11 weeks today and I cannot fit into my clothes anymore. I have already gained like 10lbs which my doc says is normal cause I was tiny to begin with...I cant fit into my work pants anymore, I bought the belly band but even that is getting uncomfortable. What to do...ugh, on a happy note, My hubby loves the fact that I went from an A cup to a C cup...lol No stores around me have maternity :(

I've been working out nearly every day to keep from getting puffy from just being sedentary & it's really helped staying in my clothes! I have a ton of energy- More than my husband, and the added leg-kicks sessions have subsided the battle of the buldge for now! I'm 11 weeks 4 days right now.

My fat jeans fit me in certain places but not in others (they are too big) I went to walmart and bought some yoga danskin pants for 11 bucks and they have been wonderful cause I can dress em up or down !

i guess i'm the lucky one, i don't feel fat, since i'm always sick, that i have lost weight. And it doesn't seem like i get any better any time soon. Being all day seek from "morning sickness" is not fun either, at least on the other hand. I don't need to wear my maternal clothes yet.

If only the belly band worked better for me! I have large hips, and the dang thing just rolls up all the time! Since it's almost summer, I'm on the hunt for cute dresses, and I've ordered my first round of maturnity clothes. I think it's ok timing, I stopped being able to button my pants at 8 wks! Arg! But it's all worth it :)

I got a Be-band and wear that over the maternity pants. It works really well and I am so much more comfortable now!

Starting to feel MUCH better. I was able to see baby and hear the heartbeat! It was amazing! Baby even had a hiccup on the monitor. I had a miscarriage for my last pregnancy, so it was extremely reassuring to see baby right on track! :D

I am 11 weeks today! I also am not fitting into my clothes but I have to say the maternity jeans look so cute now! I had my 2nd sonogram last Friday and the babys heartbeat and delvelopment is good! So ready to find out what the gender of the baby is!

try the tummy sleeve from motherhood to get in to maternity pants earlier

I agree too... clothing is not fun right now! People don't know if I am pregnant or have a beer belly !LOL! Normal clothes don't fit pregnancy clothes too big. I am finding a belly band has really worked well for me so far!

oh my goodness!!! i am only 11 weeks pregnant and i can't help but cry all the time. im very short fused and extreamly emotional. i know this is said to be normal but i don't think my husband will let me get pregnant again if i act all crazy like this :) just really concerned on how im making him feel when i just don't feel right at all!!!! help!!!

11 weeks today! Had my 1st appt day before yesterday and saw baby AND heard the heartbeat! SO EXCITING! This is a weird stage, though....I've lost 6 lbs. since I got pregnant, but my pants aren't fitting properly!! Maybe it's all just migrating....LOL!!!

I too am in between clothes. I could acutally wear my regular pants but they dig me a little. I already have some maternity clothes. I have pants I bought that are exactly the same shape and size of my regular ones just have a little band. I do have to pull them up time to time but it is much more comfy! Thank god for destination maternity store!

Somedays I want to complain about the all-day sickness (who called it morning sickness in the first place?), the very huge belly already protruding, the clothes that don't fit, etc. But I had a miscarriage just this past November and the only thing I want most is for my baby to make it & grow to full-term so I can have a healthy baby. I don't complain because I'm just trying to make it week-to-week and pray every night that my baby survives..and I just love being pregnant!! :)

Has anyone else had problems with bacterial infections "down there" since being pregnant? My doctor says its because the PH is more easily changed when you're pregnant....i have to take a Rx, but I hate it because it makes me sick and Im worried it will hurt the baby. I'm 11 weeks, and have felt pretty good, but IM SO TIRED and definitely bloated.

The only clothes I have that fit comfy are my one pair of old navy yoga pants that has a ext 3 in of fabric a the top that is made for you to fold down but it makes a good pair of maternity pants for now they are not around my belly button digging in like the rest of my pants. but my bras are getting away to tight need to get new ones only issue is the ones i have are new lol. well i guess its time to start ordering maternity

In total agreement, but my jeans are so uncomfortable right now that I'm gonna have to break down and buy maternity jeans. Other than that I'm loving being pregnant :)

Finally some relief from morning sickness :) I have started to put on some of the weight I lost being so sick, but my clothes aren't so happy with this latest development. I'll need to find some new stuff soon.

I am uncomfortable because my panties don't fit right any more. I don't get it. They seam to dig and the leg holes are too small. Apparently my hips and thighs have gotten much bigger. the thong ones feel like they are cutting in to me. I don't know what to do to be comfortable. I can't go with out because of some very wet changes errrr

I'm 11weeks and 2 days today. This is my second pregnancy and I feel like I ate a big meal but it's not digesting. My pants still fit but everyday I it's getting snugger and snugger. I'm gonna go get a belly band to wear with my jeans so I don't have to button them up. The legs fit fine but the waist is just about gone. All in all I'm excited for my son to be a big brother :)

I am happy to be expecting, but I want my body back. Sleep is uncomfortable and clothes don't fit. Heartburn is the worst and my husbands runs from my gas. I have never wore so many sweats in my life, but they are currently the only thing I can fit and the most comfy thing I can put on!

I find toothpaste is making me gag. That and any aftertaste after eating just about anything makes me feel gross. But other than than. Week 8 was my worst nausia week. Now I'm in week 11, I'm feeling great, other than feeling the fat stage. I went out an bought a few pairs of fat pants to hold me over until I fit into maternity wear, but my husband keeps telling me my butt looks dumpy in them. I guess they're too baggy in the butt. ;) lol Yay for being preggo!!I can't wait to see my little baby!!

I completely agree with feeling fat! I step on the scale every morning and it doesn't say that i've gained anything but i feel bloated and i have to leave the top button on my pants undone! Also lately in the mornings i get really hot, light headed and want to pass out so hopefully that goes away soon!

Feel fat, Can't wear my skinny jeans anymore. Thats the only downfall.....

Belly band will help you get some more life out of your clothes and you wont feel fat. I also bought some secret belly pants and they fit really well. They are very stretchy.

I am already a double D, so I hope my boobs don't get any bigger! Its gonna be really hard finding nursing bras bigger than that!

I am going nuts trying to figure out what this second little bundle of joy will be! I hope its a boy but I have had a blast with my little girl so it doesnt matter i will love it no matter what. Also I feel alittle chubby now a days and before I got pregnant I felt like I looked my best. I am trying to figure out what workouts will be best for me considering my thyroid disorder

Has anyone else did the Intelligender test, just wondering about accuracy?

fat fat fat fat. thats all i've felt like for thee past2 weeks. i'm excited for baby because it's my first but i hate feeling this.

I'm with you ladies - at 11 weeks, I grip the flab on my sides and belly and feel fat, not pregnant. I wish I would see a distinctive bump - something to let me know it's in there - but I'm just thick and flabby. Yuck!

I agree with the clothes!! Ive bought two pairs of maternity pants and constantly pull them up and my other pants feel so tight right now. Not enjoying this being that im finding it harder to find something to wear to work.

I've been so sick that I've lost 10 pounds. My work pants are bigger on me but my jeans are snug purly from my little bump, low rider jeans are not good! I bought a bellaband for now to wear with my jeans. It works pretty well :) I can't wait for this horrible M/S to go away though. I spent most of my time in the ER at 10 weeks because I couldn't even keep down water!

Im not high in the fashion dept. so i either go in short suits that fit comfy sweats or windpants!! lookin forward for some extra spending money for some nice unexpensive summer dresses!! but what can i say before i found out i was preggers i wore my cowboy boots with wind pants!

I have a lot of stretchy jeans but found this weekend that I couldn't even button them any more. If we're just at home I leave them unbuttoned but if we're out, I do the rubberband thing. I also found that gouchos are great. I can wear them a little lower so they're not so tight and uncomfortable.

I am also 11 weeks today! Glad to hear most of you are the same as me...bloated.. And living in sweats and baggy tops!

Still constipated. I can't go a day without meat. I don't feel like i've eaten unless i've eaten MEAT!

A belly band I have found is a big help for this sqwishy inbetween stage. And it looks like I am layering.no has been able to tell I am wearing it. Best 16$ bucks I have spent thus far!!!

I am 11 weeks today too and am just starting to get a belly but I just look like I've been eating too much lol I actually lost almost ten lbs in the last month cus I couldn't eat so my pants still kinda fit but my shirts are all way to snug.

omg i cant stand the vomiting and constapation..am 11 weeks WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER???

im eating and lost 13lb, first pregnancy....i cant wait to start showing!

For those of you in the 'puffy in between' stage where your clothes don't fit but you're not ready for maternity clothes yet... At 11 weeks, I've given up on anything but dresses at this point. I've found them to be a godsend. None of my pants/shorts fit but my dresses - especially those with a higher waist - fit perfectly and are still very comfortable. Now if only this morning sickness would subside!

Not Loving the In between stage with clothing. But I AM loving my BE Band. Thanks to it I can still wear my pre prego pants!!!

yes ma'am i hate that too i cant wait to have alittle but of looking like i am preg then just feeling very preg

Do you gain weight faster the more children? This is my second and i feel like I am huge at 11 wks. I didnt get big till almost 6 months with my first.

GAH, I can't tell if it's bump or bloat, but I sure as heck LOOK pregnant. (at 11 weeks?!) My work pants don't fit anymore- at least my boss finds it amusing. lol I'm just happy to be feeling a little better.

I am almost 11 weeks pregnant and my fingers are so swollen I cannot wear my rings. Towards the end of the night my wrists start hurting as well...Is anyone else experiencing this? Doctor said it was okay, but this early???

The gap has great fashions, especially in pants. I can wear my regular pant size and the no one knows they're maternity. They're so much more comfortable than my regular pants though!

Here's a fasion tip: At this point (11 weeks), I don't look pregnant, I just look fat, and my regular pants don't fit and maternity is still too big. This is my 4th pregnancy and I've found that if I buy a size or two up in regular pants and clothes, they fit much better. And, after I have my baby, before I can get back into my pre pregnancy clothes, I can wear the larger clothes again for a few weeks when the maternity clothes again don't fit.

I am the same how ever i dont want elastic pants but i might just not have a choice....any suggestions?

I had a scary episode this week. I had a gush of blood, called my doc, she ordered an emergency scan, baby was fine, but the placenta was lying low. This most likely caused the blood. As the uterus grows, the placenta will be pulled up to where it should be. Scary! But it was so good to see the baby moving around, and see a strong heartbeat! Hope no one else has any scares, they are horrible!

I'm 11 weeks 2 days now. I noticed my lower back and butt cheeks hurt. I have a desk job so I find sitting on my butt for 15 min or longer really hurts. Anyone else experiencing sore butt cheeks.

Picked up a few "belly friendly" tops and pants this past week at Target & Old Navy..was going to go the Bella Band route, but decided it was easier in the long run. I can wear some of the pants like a tube dress almost, but it's way comfortable, and they were cute clothes!

this is actually my third pregnancy. I thought i would be use to it but its so true that every pregnancy is different. I can wear some of my clothes but most of the time im in sun dresses at lease im a little comfortable.

You should def get the Be Band or Bella Band for the in between stages. I picked mine up from Target. Around $15.

I pulled out the "FAT" clothes box yesterday - I lost 2 dress sizes but just had a feeling they'd come in handy or I'd hand them down to someone... Some nice things in size 16! Ralph Lauren Jeans, dress slacks... dresses. So while I'm happy I lost the weight, I've put it back on with baby! I also recommend the belly bands! You can wear your current jeans and pants UNbuttoned, but firmly held up. eBay had the best prices - don;t pay 415 for them. i got one for 7 bucks including shipping. Good luck everyone!

I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone in feeling fat, puffy, uncomfortable and just plain icky. The maternity clothes waist band is terrible!! I'm surviving with sun dresses....can't wait to be out of these phase......

this is my second pregnancie and am 11 weeks today and i just hate that i cant fit into any of my reg clothes and the maternity ones dont fit as well as they should only 11 weeks it sucks n its to hot to wear sweats or sweaters errrrr...

I am 11 weeks as well, I have a little belly, more like a beer belly right now, LOL. I cannot wait to actually look pregnant. Does any one else hate the sight of meat right now?

I'm in week 11 too and have been wearing a lot of leggings with fun little dresses over the top. It's the only thing that's comfortable right now. :)

im having a slew of crappy symptoms, seems like every day i run to my baby books to find out what the heck is going on with me. but i realize that growing a human is tough on a body and at only 11 weeks, my body is still a little bit confused. im ready for the happy glowing pretty part of my pregnancy already! :)

So far I can still fit into my regular clothes. I've got a little bulge- totally looks like I'm rockin out a beer gut as well.

I'm 11 1/2 weeks like most of you and we heard the little one's heartbeat for the first time yesterday!!!!!!!!! My mom took me maternity clothes shopping to celebrate so I stocked up on summer dresses. The softer the better! I still fit into my other clothes but stretchy stuff is so comfy. :)

well i have a son he is 5 months old and i found out i am pregnant again they werent kidding when they said stay away for 6 weeks!! lol well i am 12 weeks on mon and i am starting to show big time i recently started wearing my maternity clothes again and they are still fitting loose i used to do the rubber band thing but when you have to use the bathroom watch out its a pain to get it undone!!

Could cold sores be due to my pregnancy anyone. I never broke out like this back to back ever...! I DONT FEEL PREGO, 11 weeks, and i don't have a bUMP yet. WHEN SHOULD I START LOOKING AND FEELING PREGO?

Ugh. I hate my chubby stage. I feel gross, not cute at all. I have only gained 2.2 lbs since I found out I was pregnant. (I found out at 4 weeks, I am now 11) My regular clothes still fit...but not comfortably usually, but yes, maternity pants (even size extra small) are still baggy. Very aggravating.

I share your pain. I bought a belly belt which allows me to still wear my regular jeans because it extends where you button them. I did buy some maternity shirts because since I can't zip the zipper I needed longer shirts. I feel so much better now instead of trying to squeeze into my clothes the old way.

Yes, the in between stage is killing me! I have been buying clothes a size bigger but they don't hang right. Soon my baby bump will be large and in charge and I'm sure I'll have something to complain about then too :)

Felt baby move last night! Little flutters! I always feel my babies so early! Can't wait to meet this little guy! And I can't wait to show and not just look fat/bloated like other mommy's complained about! haha

I agree once you get bigger you can't fit in your sexy clothes for a while! But there are some beautiful clothes they have for mother to be.you could go to your local mall near you.They have some beautiful clothes there for you as a new mother to be even if you aren't a first time parent!GO THERE!enjoy your baby ladies.cause i'm enjoying miine's little jurnee n eaddy!TAlk to your soon,Evangenlena adriane eaddy!

I use an elastic. Loop it around the pants/skirt button, bring through button hole and loop again around the button. It works for a bit. Skirts are my best friend right now

Omg! My biggest issue is also not being able to fit into my clothes anymore. Im too early to be having to pull up the ol' stretchy band jeans that my mom used to wear with my first child. Only 11 weeks, but sticking out way more and earlier than with my first two girls.

i just went ahead and got a couple pairs of maternity shorts to wear as soon as my regular clothes felt snug. the jeans i found can be loosend as by belly grows. Plus they are super comfy!

I'm super excited. First baby, 11 weeks tomorrow. I can still fit in my clothes but they are a little snug. Thankfully I can wear scrubs at work. I'm having a hard time buying anything...Feel like it is for a babydoll and not a real baby. I have not heard the heartbeat yet, go in on the 20th. Is is acceptable to feel this way?

I just bought a cute dress and it fit me perfect 2 weeks ago. I wore it Sat night out to dinner and felt like my gut was hangin out!!! It is like the stage were I look like I have a muffin top to people that don't know I am 11 weeks! LOL....so uncomfortable. I have gained 10lbs and went from a 4 to a 6 all ready. I am 5'3" so I think I am in for a long ride. Ahhhh

This is my 4th pregnancy, first one with my significant other. The last 3 was from a previous marriage and i agree with the in-between stage as well. I have already quite the belly and none of my old pants fit just sweats and odd pairs of pants. my friend was very nice to lend me her maternity pants but my belly isnt quite big enough yet

im a little surprised to see so many women say they are showing, i thought i had read in a few places that the uterus is tucked up under the pelvic bone until at least the 12th week and then starts making her way up! I am plus size and sort of sad that my baby bump will come much later, if at all. i dont feel bloated or puffy, but i could just be chalking that up to feeling large already! GOOD LUCK LADIES cant wait to meet our living angels!

The bella band is perfect for this stage. I can still wear my regular jeans, I just don't have to button OR zip them. AMAZING

I am 11 weeks today but my belly started showing at 5 weeks! This is my second child and I also showed early with the first one. I've switched my wardrobe over to pretty much all maternity clothes now and I love it!!! I don't understand why some people want to hide it. Of course, I did have about two weeks of the "I just look fat, not pregnant" stage. :)

JamieDawn, I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks, and we couldn't hear the heartbeat, but we could see it, and the ultrasound machine said it was 140 bpm. Two years ago, I went in for an ultrasound at 11 wks, and there was no heartbeat. My doctor had me wait a week and go back in for another ultrasound, and I was told I was miscarrying at that point. I hope all goes well for you...

Me too... feeling fat and lazy... Laaazy. And this time of the pregnancy is boring, I'm not going to lie. Uneventful.

Buy the B.Band, you still fit in your regular clothes, the only thing is that you dont button your pants :) its so comfortable

This is my third pregnancy. I'm 11 weeks and I thought I would luck out with not have morning sickness, but it has begun. It doesn't get easier the third time around! Blah!

I went for it already. I bought a couple of pairs of maternity pants that fit. They may not fit the whole way through, but they are way more comfortable than unbuttoned elastic-banded jeans. I don't mind wearing "maternity" things because I am so happy and proud to be pregnant. I am trying to enjoy it for what it is and not stress about things I can't change...like the size of my belly!

I'm 11 weeks, yay! I am also not fitting in any of my pants anymore and my boobs look enormous in any tank top. I haven't told anyone about my pregnancy yet and nobody at work seems to notice which is good but I just feel so huge! I've been wearing the belly band because I can't bring myself to buy maternity clothes yet.

I have been relying on skirts with stretchy waistbands and A-line style cotton dresses. I'm normally a jeans and t-shirt kind of person, but I need to dress nicer for work, and since it's an extra hot summer, the jersey fabrics are extra roomy and breathable.

I am 11 1/2 weeks and I hate drinking water as well. Everything makes me nauseous, but what has helped is putting a little fresh lemon in the water. My nurse also suggested try drinking 1/2 cup-1cup an hour of water. Pouring it in a small 1/2 cup container helps to stomach the water.That has helped me with the water intake...Now I just need to stop being nauseous!!! Come on second trimester!!!!!

Trust me ladies, the best thing you can do is buy a pair of Gap maternity jeans! They're a little more pricey than some, but they are comfortable and they make me look more pregnant than just fat, like the belly band does! Plus, they don't look like maternity pants! Just give in and let yourself enjoy getting bigger, your baby is growing!! So excited to hear my baby is lime-sized!! Congrats mamas!

go to target.com and by a belly belt...$20 for 4 of them...they are great

I'm 11 weeks pregnant today and as most have already stated, I can't fit a thing accept stretch pants, tees, and sun dresses. I can barely even fit my bras and underwear at this stage. I feel very out of shape! How is this when the fetus is only the size of a lime? And I've also gained 15 lbs. This is my first pregnancy and I must say, even with all the changes in my body, I am looking forward to this beautiful experience.

I SET UP A BABY WEBSITE, BUT I TRIED TO PUT IN THE ADDRESS TO SEE IF MY PAGE WOULD COME UP AND NOTHING.....HOW DO I KNOW THE NAME OF MY BABYS WEBSITE??? THE TITLE??? MY LAST NAME....THEY HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON THIS SITE...ITS COOL BUT NOT TOO "NEW" USER FRIENDLY.....ITS LIKE YOU NEED A TUTOR AT FIRST TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING....AND IM PRETTY COMP. LITERATE...WOW....HELP

I'm not loving how every evening I am so bloated and have an obvious bump. Each morning I love waking back up to my nice flat tummy and feeling full of energy.

Quick tip for those that still fit into your regular jeans but need a little extra room in the waist... I use a thick hair tie or rubber band and loop it around the hole of where you button your jeans then loop the other end around the button gives you about an extra inch until you're big enough for maternity jeans. I am still holding out...

I found some cute maternity clothes at Khols to grow into..thought they were much more affordable and had a better selection that Target

I'm 11 weeks and 3 days and can't even rubber band my old pants together. I am in maternity bottoms or at least elastic waist bottoms 100% Last pregnancy this time i was still in my own clothes. Twins is a whole new world for me!!

The Bella Band has been a lifesaver for me when it comes to making my clothes fit. This is my second pregnancy and I'm starting to show already but like you ladies not enough to really go into maternity clothes. They sell the Bella Band at Target, you should check it out. I usually wear a size 6-8 so the medium works for me but the packaging has a great sizing chart to help you find which size you need. Hope this helps.

I'm 11 weeks and found some elastic pants at maurices that are great for my inbetween stage. Only bummer is they are only in one color!

I had my first ultra sound two days ago and my Dr called today to let me know I have a tear between my placenta and the umbilical cord. She has said to stay off my feet as much as possible and no sex until I come back in 3 weeks for another ultrasound. How serious is this?

Thank you all for making me feel better! I felt like I was the only one feeling like this- 11 weeks and bloated, puffy and feeling anything but attractive- praying for the real bump to come soon!!!

Excellent post. I want to thank you for this informative read, I really appreciate sharing this great post. Keep up your work.

I am at week 11 and i have actually lost 2 lbs. I started a little overweight though. Everything still fits me fine, so I am not sure when i should get maternity clothes. I bought some yoga pants and leggings just in case i wake up one morning and nothing fits. They say it takes longer to show with a first pregnancy, but I am ready to start feeling pregnant. The morning sickness is pretty much gone now too, i get a little sick if i eat too quickly but thats about it.

11 weeks too :) no problems at all except my boobs are GIANT!

I am 11 weeks and feel very bloated and simply fat. I cannot wait to tell people so they can stop looking at me like I put on "post wedding" weight. As far as bowel movements go I have a problem 100% of time even before I was pregnant, but I have found that if I take a stook softener with New Chapter Prenantals it is so much easier on my stomach. They have all the same ingredients but they are formulated different. There are a lot of prescription prenatals with stool softners in them, but it is not too favorable for your stomach. Dr's do not know a lot about vitamins and prescribe whatever there reps give them. You can buy them at whole foods.

I broke down and bought the next size up in jeans. Normally I would freak out about going up a size, but I'm not ready for maternity pants yet. It is still so strange to try to feel good about my expanding waistline!

I'm 11 weeks today. I notice a tiny bump forming, looks more like bloating. I still fit into all my clothes fine, but I have 4 older sisters with kids and they didn't show for a while. About the heart beat, I have been hearing my baby's since I was 6weeks. I heard it at 6 weeks vaginally, and then at 8 weeks over the belly.

The belly bands that you can buy are FANTASTIC! They hold your regular clothes up without having them fastened! You can even find really cute ones that have lace on the bottom edge, just in case your shirt pulls up! JC Penney and Target have them very reasonably priced!

I am happy that my nausea finally left, sometimes mood swings are WILD but i am coping with it slowly.... i look like im 5 months pregnant, this is my 3rd child so im showing EARLIER... so im not liking that.. i fit in NOTHING, time to go shopping huh?.

I'm 11 weeks and I really haven't gained any weight yet I still fit in my regular clothes but they fit a little tighter than usual and I have noticed that my belly has been sticking out a little more than it usually does but it just worries me that others are gaining more...never thought I would say that.

My husband walked in on me getting ready this morning and his comment was, "babe your pants are a little tight." My response was ,"we will be shopping this weekend." Im working on it but still feel a little puffy at times.

I did buy a bella band, and the problem I had with that was that I always felt like I was loosing my pants, ie they would fall down... lots of tugging and adjusting. by PJ72 signs of cancer signs of cancer in women warning signs of cancer signs of colon cancer in men signs of lung cancer in women ge spacemaker microwave ge spacemaker xl1800 Stonedine Reviews stonedine cookware Dimensions of a King Size Bed Full Size Bed Measurements King Size Bed Dimensions King Size Bed Measurements King Size Mattress Dimensions

I almost 11 weeks and to buy a tonne of new and gently used maternity clothes this week. This is my 3rd and I am a bit on the heavy side so it was quite a challenge to find clothes for my new job and for relaxing at home, but found some great deals and am glad to have clothes that fit. Very strange being pregnant again after 11 years since my youngest was born, but we are looking forward to this new adventure.

I feel like I'm gaining to much to fast. Before I became pregnant I had lost almost 90 lbs, and now I feel like I'm going to pack all of that back on, but i feel like I look bigger and weigh more. My friends and family disagree but that's how I feel. Anyone else feel anywheres the same as that?

I Love my maternity clothes! So comfy with no buttons!

I agree with all of you on the clothing issues. I have found my saving grace....Bebands (belly bands). They have allowed me to continue to wear my regular clothes just unbuttoned or zipper down. No one even notices. I use an elastic around the button and through the hole for added security and then throw on my Beband. It simply looks like I am wearing a fashionable camisole...the Bebands even come in styles with lace trim....very trendy. HDL Cholesterol Levels
