Water retention?
Hi, I am only 4weeks 1day, but have noticed that I already seem to be getting a bit of a 'bump'. I have to undo the button on my jeans etc when sitting down or driving as its really quite uncomfortable. Is this normal? Did anyone else start to bump this early or is it possible to get water retention when pg? I didnt really suffer from bloating b4 af, and am a size 6-8, so could it be down to that? Any help would be appreciated as I am convinced that I will end up as big as an elephant at this rate!

Unfortunately I don't look remotely pregnant, I just look like I've eaten a few too many pies (
Purple, didnt know you could get such things as early term maternity gear! Where do you get those from? Are they worth the money? Dont really want to resort to trackie bottoms this early, and am sick of hoiking my jeans up if I forget to fasten em b4 walking off! ( Its also a pain fumbling with the button when I get out of the car! )
EmmA, I would be gutted if I didnt have a bump at 30+ weeks!
Thanx for all your replies, Im reassured to know its common (there are twins in my family, so that thought crossed my mind too!) Thanx guys xx
I bet you're really excited. Try and enjoy your 1st trimester cos I didn't and next time I will really try to as its a really special thing walking around wondering 'can people tell'! xxxx
