In the eight months or so before I got pregnant, I lost about 30 pounds. Through the majority of the weight loss, I still was wearing the same size - about a 12. Right before I got pregnant the 12s got to big, and I was able to comfortably wear 10s. Thus, I was a little surprised to find yesterday that I can get almost nothing in my closet (even the biggest, stretchiest 12s) on without looking like a stuffed sausage around the "pooch" area. This - despite only having gained about 2 lbs. total since my last period 64 days ago. I'm actually noticeably losing weight in my arms and legs, and my clothes fit fine there. My stomach though. Ugh.
I think (way TMI I know) part of it may be because I seem to be struggling continually to go to the bathroom. It's like my entire digestive system has shut down and ain't NOTHING leaving anytime soon. But the fact of the matter remains, my pants, they do not button. And really, I just can't handle the rubberband through the buttonhole thing - mostly because I don't wear pants that often, so that's not really an option. I don't look pregnant, I look like I've had about eight thanksgiving dinners in a row. And oddly, going up a size(or two) in clothes doesn't seem to really help much. It's still straining on the belly, and hanging off my hips and thighs.
I (mistakenly, apparently) thought I'd be able to sail through the first trimester in normal clothes with no problem.
If you hear wailing, it's just me. Beached whales do that.
oooooooooooooooaaaaaaaarwwwwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've heard beached whales wail.

I have some maternity pants that my butt has outgrown, if you want them. They were probably meant for someone who was a 10 or 12 prior to getting pregnant, I was a 14 or bigger so already the butt was too big for them. Email me and I will gladly send them your way. They are jeans and two pairs of black pants, maybe you can use those for work. Otherwise I will just be packing them up to donate, might as well donate to someone I know.
