First belly pic! 4wks
I am 4 weeks pregnant as of today. I plan on taking a belly pic every week.. thankfully I have a tripod and a remote for my camera, because Den has no patience for taking photos.
My stomach is, as to be expected, a wee bit flabby still. And that was sucking it in, just so you know. (And it’s been like this for weeks, so no actual baby belly yet.) But when I look at the photo I’m still rather disgusted by how much my ass sticks out back. Stupid arched back. Make it look even bigger, why don’t you.
Plus I stepped on the scale this morning… 142! :shock: I’ve been hovering between 144 and 145 for weeks! And I’ve gone down?? Weird. (Must be losing some of that bloating and water weight from the meds.)
When I thought this cycle was a bust I was planning on finally getting down to fitting in my wardrobe again. I realized yesterday that’s no longer going to happen! It’s kind of crummy to have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe at only 4 weeks pregnant, but I seriously only have a couple pairs of pants to wear! (The past two weeks I’ve been going to my client’s with my top button unbuttoned on my dress slacks!) I think I’ll try to find a lot of sweats and stretchy pants so they can grow with me. Maybe even maternity pants (so I can get somethign that’s stretchy on top but dressy material on the bottom, for work), but I don’t think I’ll fit into maternity pants yet.
Bella Band – know it, love it. All my pregnant friends SWEAR by it, it’ll keep your pants fitting until you are ready for the maternity pants.
But also check out shopittome.com, they regularly show designer maternity jeans for el cheapo!
Hmmm, I didn’t know those could be used this early! I’ll have to check it out!
You can also use the rubber band trick, where you loop the rubber band through your pants hole and hook the ends to the button. It helps for a little while at least.
But the Bella Bands are great too, so I hear.
LOVE THE PIC!!! XOXO
yoga pants are the BEST. Try Target. I LIVE in them.
Maternity pants are actually ridiculously comfortable. i don’t know why people who aren’t pregnant don’t wear them!! You’ll be surprised — they’ll fit. :) I really like the jeans on gap.com and the dress pants from mimimaternity.com. Get the kind with the demi panel. I’m 23 weeks and still wearing the ones I bought at 6 weeks.
