Is it too early?

To have back pain? My lower back is already killing me!! And sadly, 9 pounds later, I am already out of my pants (6) and can't even squeeze into a 9!! I gave in and bought maternity pants. Is this normal? I'm only 9 weeks and when I lay down I can feel the baby bump! DO women really get bigger faster during the second pregnancy/etc?

 

Awe, I hope that back pain gets better soon. I was in maternity pants early this time around too, however, I measure small this pregnancy (2 weeks behind).

 

I had more issues about sleeping on my tummy (I am a belly sleeper by nature) when I was 8 weeks pregnant than I do now at 31 weeks!!! I don't know if it is because we started out as twins, or if it was just being bloated and feeling huge! I hope it goes away!

 

I showed early too, and gained more weight than I thought I would (13 lbs so far!!)...I was so uncomfortable in my own pants I finally gave in and wore maternity ones pretty early!!!

 

I showed early too, bu have only gained 9 pounds so far. The backaches could be a combination of being pregnant and chasing 2 other kids around too. I hope they get better for you.

 

I remember my back bothering me during the 1st trimester. It felt similar to something I'd usually have during my period. It did go away...and it's obviously back with a vengence in the 3rd trimester!

 

It is so reassuring that I am not the only one who went to maternity clothes so early!! I've already gained 9 pounds and that was within the first couple weeks of just eating and eating. There were a few days when I was wasn't hungry and had dropped a few pounds. I tried on the non-maternity pants in the bigger size I had bought and they still didn't fit around my waist. Whisch made me feel alittle better, too I must say though, I feel pretty silly buying things at Motherhood when they ALWAYS ask your due date and etc!!
