Do you all feel that sometimes after a meal esp in evenings, your tummy feels REALLY tight and big? Sometimes even though I've had a just-nice meal (meaning I didnt overeat), my tummy feels super duper hard and tight, skin stretched to the limit. At first its actually quite painful, but nowadays I'm getting used to it more and more.

Are,
It's quite common to lose wt during 1st Tri cos of the MS and tiredness. Me initially lose 1 kg then gain back again subsequently when my appetite improves..so no worry. Subsequently, ur bb will give u 10x more..haha..tat's wat my gynae said oso..so discouraging right.
Berry,
ya, me too..esp after dinner. I just tot normal noodles or porridge and oredy the stomach is so tight and big until I feel it's exploding. It does looks and feels smaller when I went to work in the morn and even after lunch. Dunno why is tat so.
chihiro,
dun worry..my gf oso hv no symptoms, eat well and sleep well throughout her 1st and 2nd Tri, only the 3rd one is jialat for her. So dun ''hu si luan xiang'', can understand cos me oso like tat..haha..

My gf who piled on the pounds after her wedding and was trying so hard to lose weight... when she got pregnant, THEN, she lost weight. So she was laughing it's so ironical. She was saying good that I gain weight so far... but hor, I'm the one who has to work doubly hard to lose the extra pounds after pregnancy hor? LOL!

blisse & are, try getting some maternity bottoms, its designed to accomodate stage-by-stage growth of belly (you can adjust the inside of the waistband to let it expand as you grow bigger), I am already wearing my first pair. I bought mine from marton bell at centrepoint, their cutting is pretty fine.
angelia and blisse, I lost around 2 kg during first tri also. Dropped from 44kg+ to 42kg+, but around week 11th onwards started gaining it back again. Now I'm in my 14th-15th week, last checked I weigh 47.5kg...whao, a little surreal to me LOL. keke...probably due to the improvement in my appetite and ceasing of MS.

are, even though my frame is considered 'small', my belly grows really amazingly fast- in fact, I out grew all my pants at 10th-11th week, cannot even sit down if I wear them. Looks like I'll be piling quite a fair bit of weight during my pregnancy. Maybe the clothes you tried on are of bigger cutting or maybe you need more time for your belly to grow.
Ladies, I have been having craving for chicken in a biscuit (or chicken in a basket or something like that? is in blue paper box, by nabisco I think), is it still available? I tried searching for it in cold storage but cant find... Any idea where to get?

blisse, thanks! No wonder I didnt see any blue boxed chicken biscuits lol.. will go and search for green box soon.
Now that I'm pregnant, I can't take milk, milk chocolates, cheese, even normal yogurt. The only yogurt I can eat without puking is non-fat yogurt by marigold cause its made of non-creamy milk(that's why non-fat).

hi blisse,
are your normal clothes tight now? have you started buying maternity clothes? i've bouth 2 maternity pants and a few tops. but don't think i'll wear so soon.
hi skyblue,
maybe you can start with maternity pants first. can adjust the waistsize according to the tummy. actually most people can't tell maternity pants from normal pants. the other day i wore a black track pants and my sis asked if i was wearing maternity pants
hi beverly,
how many weeks are you in now? when is your EDD? my gynae delivers in Gleneagles only. Sorry can't help.

Hello all morn,
For me, I'm oso into the transition period so headache over wat to wear oso. I wear back my normal dresses and 2 skirts which I can still fit in. I do wear one of my sis L size stretchable pants when I'm running out of wear. As for my normal pants, completely can't wear cos of my tummy area which bulges out oredy. Maternity pants still too big for me, so gonna wait till stomach bigger. Me oso not planning to buy any more clothings. Wait till after delivery, see how well I managed to slim before deciding.

Morning ladies
I find maternity wear too loose on me (the armhole too big?) so I buy normal clothing in bigger sizes. Gd for post-delivery when the bulge doesn't disappear yet... I won't be forcing myself to lose all these weight immediately after birth cos I forsee pain (from the op or episotomy), tiredness (from taking care of baby) and stress (trying to breastfeed and so on). Will only go for those traditional massage, eat well (for breastfeeding) and enjoy my time with baby/ time with HB bonding with baby... after a few mths then go for serious weight-loss. So will still need all these loose clothing but not maternity wear.

hi yingzi,
i have been wearing the same stuff week after week. no choice, can only wear those i can still fit in.
hi mtmtmt,
you are right. after delivery still need loose clothings. really envy those people whom lose weight fast after birth. most of my colleagues came back looking the same as before after maternity leave. i wonder if i can be like them.

Hi all,
Well I have problem in my clothings too. I'm petite. My pants and jeans not able to wear. I started wearing L size clothings with elastic waistband. But my waist feels very comfortable but my bottoms look very baggy. Very ugly but no choice. Very sad when my colleague comment that I put on weight. My figure totally went out of shape can say. But my weight I find still ok leh . Only 44.9kg. So sad.

Same here. My sis L size elastic pant is the onli pant tat I can fit in now. Waist veri comfy cos elastic mah but bottom looks like clown, veri baggy kind. A few of my colleagues oso commented I put on wt on my waist area. Though my abdomen area does expanded but wt still veri much the same. My best wear is still T-shirt and shorts at home, so comfy but can't wear in office.

Beverly, welcome!
pets, isnt it a good thing to be putting on weight now? I think you'll be rather worried if you don't put on any weight right?
blisse, I can take soya bean milk quite well cause its not creamy like dairy milk. BTW, I heard that if baby is a boy, best not to take too much soya bean products/milk, something about dunno what hormones, not sure how true.
are, I also love my bulge, I'm v proud of it, so I try to wear tops that will hug my tummy area. My hubby also loves to look at my belly. sometimes he will keep staring at it and lovingly say 'wahh, so big liao'. When I see preggies on the road that are bigger than me, I always can't wait for my belly to grow.
