wore jeans for a few hours, now in agony

Thankyou for all your replies, I guess its going to be a few weeks before i am able to wear my jeans comfortably all day, so it looks like i am going to have to go and do a little bit of clothes shopping Will have to let DH know that we are going to be visiting the shopping centres this weekend.

Love Karin

I'm at 4 weeks, 2 days and I can relate. My stretch jeans are only good for about an hour. When I unzip them I feel like Ursula from the Little Mermaid. Remember how she explodes out of the Ariel look-alike in the wedding scene? Gross. Then I slip on my Walmart pants or jammies and feel much better. I call my tummy "The Amazing Inflatable Swelly Belly!"

I still have some spotting which increases when I wear my jeans or press on my tummy from housework like cleaning the tub out. Somedays I need a panty liner and other days I don't.
