13 weeks weight gain

Hey all, I am 13 weeks and I was struggling to find something to wear to work this morning, just wondering if I am overdoing the eating or if this is normal? My trousers with elastic band are still fine but anything with a button.. goodbye 🙃 Am I alone or is this expected?

I’m 15 weeks with my second, and I’ve been struggling since week 8 🤣 totally normal to be feeling tighter at 13

I think it's very normal. I know they say "don't eat for two" but I listen to my body, I go through real hungry times where I eat more, and I think that's fine.

I’m almost 15 weeks too and already broken out my maternity clothes from my last pregnancy. Totally normal, this is the awkward stage of it, just like being bloated all the time but the bump will pop sometime soon!

If it helps I’m only 11 weeks and have been wearing maternity jeans for the paw few days. My normal jeans were starting to feel snug but could still be worn although through the day would gradually get uncomfortable from bloat so I thought why not. I’m feeling awful enough as it is from the 24/7 nausea why add that so put my maternity jeans on. Yeah, they are slightly too big but they are comfortable and I can enjoy my day without worrying about the bloat x

I switched to maternity trousers around week 12. Can't tolerate anything pressing on my belly atm! Baby is still small, but bloating and gained 2 kg in the first trimester... goodbye tight cloths 😌

I switched to maternity jeans week 12, life changer! Trousers felt very ver tight
