Re: feel so fat......
I felt the SAME EXACT WAY, so I broke down and started wearing maternity clothes, well, at least the pants. I bought those "starter" ones with the adjustable waistband. I just needed extra room around my waist, so they were great. I feel a lot better about myself now that my clothes fit! hang in there
ETA: I'll be 13 weeks this week.

Re: feel so fat......
Just do it! Buy those clothes. You will feel so much better!! I was hesitating too! I finally bought a pair of jeans when I was going out to dinner with friends, it was great, after dinner, they were all uncomfortable and their pants felt tight, and I was not!! It was great!!
Good Luck!!

Re: feel so fat......
I had to buy new pants around my 10th week...probably should have even sooner, but I couldn't do it. I got a couple of pair that have just the small elastic waistband, enough so that I could breathe again. And I bought a few sweaters one size bigger, so that should last me a little while. I figure it will be good for after the pregnancy also, since I know losing it won't be so easy either.

Re: feel so fat......
From someone who has always been thin, it was a little scary when one week my old pants would fit, and the next week I couldn't zip them! But you just have to accept that this is normal and get used to getting bigger.
I was able to use the Bella Band for a couple of weeks with my old pants before buying maternity pants (which I started wearing at like 14 weeks I think).

Re: feel so fat......
Same thing for me!! I was exactly at 10 weeks when I became SOO frustrated when nothing fit me.
I definitely suggest the Bella Band (I bought it at MiMi Maternity) and hit up Old Navy.
I loved Old Navy because they had pants that are marked specifically for preggos in their 1st and 2nd Trimester. They are SOOOOO comfy! you can barely tell that they are maternity pants. I was jumping up and down when I put them on and I they could zip up!
Good luck and it's not too early to start materinity shopping. You need to be comfy!!

Re: feel so fat......
I started wearing maternity clothes at around 8 weeks. You see, I lost a bunch of weight on WW before I got PG and gave way all of my "fat clothes" to charity. Therfore, I had no pants that fit me. Getting the waistband jeans and pants were smart, b/c you can wear them after the baby's born.

Re: feel so fat......
Same for me, It's perfectly normal! I was in maternity pants at 9-10 weeks, and maternity shirts about 14 weeks. Everyone is different, I am petite, and was thin, my body readjusted for birthing hips.
I didn't want to be uncomfortable in my regular jeans poking me all the time. Maternity pants are sooo comfy!

Re: feel so fat......
What helps me is just remember you are gaining for the wonderful cause
And if it helps, I gained about 10-12 lbs my first trimester cause all i wanted was french fries, mac and cheese and fried chicken! Now that I am about 5 months, I have only gained about 3 lbs since my 12 week mark. It's def slowed since my appetite and cravings are at a min.

Re: feel so fat......
Gap Maternity, Old Navy, and Mimi Maternity are great places to go. Also, maternity underwear (although not flattering) are VERY comfy. My hips spread out almost immediately, so nothing fit the bottom half of my body. Hope this helps and happy shopping!

Re: feel so fat......
Early on I also felt very big for some reason but I was just bloated. Then it started to go away and then gradually I got my baby belly.
