for the ladies - pregnant and sucking belly in

emma_b_4

hiya
im 15 weeks pregnant and think i am starting to get a bump, but i am constantly sucking it in, as i would do when ive over eaten at xmas LOL
OH keeps noticing and asking why im sucking it in. im really chuffed to be pregnant and cant wait to be "showing" so why am i holding it in?! and does it restrict the room baby has to move around in (pls dont laugh if thats a really dumb question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
when i breathe out i have a defo bump (bot huge but defo too much for it to be just fat LOL)
i have grown out of many of my trousers but havent bought mat trousers yet, maybe thats why im sucking belly in a bit
pls tell em im not going mad, and how to break the habit! do i just breathe out now im pregnant ??!!!!

Be big and enjoy it!!!
As your bump grows you will find that it is great for resting your morning cuppa on!

You will not cause any 'harm' by holding yourself in - but it does take some getting used to letting it all hang out! Your uterus is out of the pelvis now and so it will round your lower abdomen (MW)

yes thats whats happened, its not a jelly belly cos its too low!!!
takes some getting used to letting it all hang out though or is it just me LOL

Let it all hang out girl, it will be one of the only times that you can - & have a genuine excuse for it! (although my 'mummy tummy' still hangs out a wee little - & I had DS 4 years ago ! LOL !!!)

Not like the girl I work with then... She announced at the beginning of this week that she is 6 weeks pregnant, today she said she's having a 'fat' day, & her belly feels bigger - I obviously couldn't say that 'it's' probably only the size of rice krispie at the moment! I can feel the next 6 months are going to drag at work !!!

Wait until 7 months or so when you wish you were small again, people always say aw when are you due? i always had to ask myself are they talking to me? how do they know? lol its when you end up loosing your marbles, thats when you worry..

i was about 7 or 8 months when i sat at a train station waiting on my train, i watched the thing come into the platform, then watched it leave and thought
s**t i was meant to get on it!! that was the worst thing i had ever done in pregnancy, as well as the crying at anything and everything.

Good luck though and i wouldn't bother with the mat clothes till later, i found wearing larger things helped, they charge an arm and leg for mat clothes so it's best to hang off for as long as you can.

LOL well i asked my friend whane you start to "show" she said she was showing when she did her test which baffled me, she must have already had a tum!
mine has been pretty much the same upto the last week and half, when it seems to be inflating!

ps re; mat clothes, ive been wearing a size bigger jeans but they dont look right, i dont mind during the week weraing bigger stuff i was just thining of buying one pair of mat jeans to wear out on a weekend so i feel a bit more normal !!
rest of stuff will be size bigger stuff from good old primark

Dorothy perkins have good mat clothes also next, the best jeans are the ones with the material that goes over your belly ( maybe for when your further on ). i was normally a size 10 and found that in the end when i was big 16 was ok but didn't fit right the bum would be so big and you'd end up lookin like simon cowell with the waist being so high! lol

I was always told that a pregnant woman is the most beautiful woman, my god send was having a bath every night with johnstones night time, it was so relaxing and make the most of peace and quiet cos it doesn't last!

for a few months anyway lol

there is a lot of water retention at the start...
but she is probably just trying to pass off her *already there* belly as a bump (just like i am lol)

to the OP, please... enjoy being bigger, i LOVE being pregnant, its the one time you DONT have to suck in your gut!
