I've been bloated so often this month I've only been able to wear jeans for less then a week and no pants, the jeans fit everywhere but my stomach. I've been filling up my closet with maxi dresses but I'm worried for when it gets colder and I need to wear pants.

I'm not really sure what to wear, what do you think?

You should still be able to wear dresses with some loose-fitting leggings and boots. You will probably need to get some shorter dresses if all you have is maxis. Maxi dresses and leggings don't really work, but you can make a fashion statement with some cute boots over leggings and maybe some high socks.

Yeah lots of dresses with tights or shorter dresses (even long tops) with leggings is brilliant. You can buy maternity clothes too which seems a bit weird but cut off the labels and they will fit nicely :)

Hope it eases soon

Hi There

I feel exactly the same!! .. I live in leggings and short dresses.

I have been persistently bloated for over a month with constant back pain. I Only eat small portions to try an ease the huge stomach distension through out the day.

My doctor has agreed for a further ultra scan as a precaution. Maybe it's worth you doing the same. Hope it eases soon, for both are sakes.😩

Best wishes xx take care xx hug xx

I could have written this post. I just bought 3 more maxi dresses to hide the bloat!!!

Thanks for all the replies:)

I'm going to check out maternity clothes right now.

Even on cooler days when you wear maxi dresses you could wear leggings under - no one would see them :). I was frozen when I was a bridesmaid so I put leggings on under my long bridesmaid dress to help keep warm
