For the past 2 weeks my pants have been tight. I couldnt figure out why since I have only gained 2-3lbs. They were loose before. How could 3 lbs make them so uncomfortable that I was secretly unbuttoning them under my shirts?
I got a new book yesterday from a pregnant, due any day now, girlfriend and when I looked at week 10 there was a section about how your pants seem tighter although you havent gained any weight. It said that the organs in your abdomen are shifting to make room for the baby's growth. Do you know what a relief this is?!?
Then I read in my other book (yes I have a few) that normal weight gain for 1st trimester is 3-4lbs. At least I am on the right track! 2 more weeks to go to reach the 2nd trimester and from there on I should gain about a pound a week.
I cant imagine how hard that is going to be. I worked for 5 and a half years to get rid of 20lbs. Now I am going to be putting that on in 6 months. I used to have a goal in WW to lose a pound a week. Now to gain it - ugh! I think I am really going to struggle with the weight gain. I guess it's time to go get some pants that are a little bigger. Maybe I wont feel so large!
Be on the look out for my next blog... it should be about the ultrasound!

Yes now you need the ever so attractive yet amazing Pregnancy Jeans! I loved them! They are super cute, you can actually breathe again, and you can probably still wear t-shirts over them. I also have a pair of black maternity dress pants. If you like Old Navy try the one in Orland Park (on Lagrange) they have a whole Pregnancy section.
Did you ever get a new date for your ultrasound?
I gained a pound at lunch.
Prego jeans are awesome! I had a hard time going back to jeans without the elastic waist - All jeans should have it!
