Yes, I outgrew my pants right about the same time. I took my vitamins in the morning. They just seemed to give me energy so that's why I took them in the A.M. I never noticed any bloating after taking it however. My breasts also got LARGE quickly.
The best piece of advice I will give you!
Buy yourself a few GOOD nursing bras, even if you aren't going to breastfeed. Your breasts are going to become larger and heavier and need all of the support they can get....unless of course you want saggy boobs the rest of your life! I'm so serious when I say this. It might be more comfortable to wear a sports bra but get a good, supportive bra - one that doesn't have elastic straps. Elastic gives which is defeating the whole purpose of support.

That's totally normal. My pants got uncomfortable when I sat down, so I started wearing maternity pants very early. They have the cute ones that you really can't tell are maternity. just know that you will have to buy again if you start this early, so try to find some at garae sales or thrift stores. My breasts grew early too, then stopped. I'm 32 weeks right now, but since I plan on breastfeeding I know they're gonna grow again. Just make sure that you are comfortable! You will be happy that you did!! Good luck with your pregnancy.

Hon,
First off congrats on the baby! Second of all heres what you do, go to Goodwill and buy clothes that are 2 or 3 sizes too big for you normally, and don't be alarmed by you growing so big so fast, thats normal for a happy healthy baby, some people don't grow at all and thats very alarming, but to keep yourself from going insaine with cravings, keep some chocolate at work and in your car, purse, etc... That will help you with cravings. One thing you need to watch out for however, is High Fructose Corn Syrup, that can make you and the baby diabetic during the pregnancy, and you don't want that to happen, another thing to think about is that shuts off you and the babies stomach enzimes that you that your both full. So unless you want an over weight baby, I'd stay away from anything that has High Fructose Corn Syrup... Peace out and God Bless

I was the same way. I had to buy maternity clothes before 12 weeks because I carried VERY low the entire time. I had one pair of jeans that fit because they went under my belly, and my shirts weren't long enough to cover me completely (I hate the way they make shirts anymore). I bought a bunch of nursing bras around that time too, because I grew two sizes. Wear pants with stretchy waists until you get maternity pants. You will be SO much more comfortable.

I used a little trick of not buttoning the waist on my pants, and wearing a loose longer top for as long as I could get away with it. If you start wearing maternity clothes now, you may get sick of them before the baby is born. Sports bras are good as your breast will get even bigger and if you invest in some maternity bras now they won't fit in a few months (I learned that the hard way).

being pregnant could reason a brilliant form of bloating, so this could be what's inflicting your pants to be tighter. With my 2d being pregnant, my pants all started getting tighter at around 3 months pregnant. in basic terms flow forward and get some low band maternity pants to positioned on. they're plenty extra soft than donning tight pants.

I started wearing maternity pants around 8 or 9 weeks because nothing fit me right. the unfortunate side effect of wearing maternity clothes so early is that I am tired of them now at 26 weeks.
i've only gone up one cup size, but I won't wear an underwire right now at all. my suggestion is to go to macy's or jcpenney and let them fit you for a bra. that way you can get the right size and good support.

Everyone's body is different. I started to wear maternity around 4/5 months. I was a size 10/12, so that maybe why it took longer for me. Size 6/8 to me seems slender, so maybe you're more able to notice it, than someone my size. OR Maybe you have more than one baby in there?

This is normal! With my pregnancies I went into maternity clothes at 12 weeks! About 8 weeks I just went up size or just wore my athletic clothes to be comfortable.

Oh yeah- it's all normal. You're forming another life inside of your uterus. (Horray!) It's all relative, natural, and normal. Easy pants trick- hook a rubber band around the button, thru the loop, and back around the button. Viola- instant maternity jeans without the huge saggy butt. (or the huge price tag...) As for the breasts- hey, that's what they're there for. Time to get the old factory churning.... :)
