Almost 12 weeks pregnant, pretty bloated, but haven't gained a single pound?

Why is this? I don't understand. I look like I'm farther along, but I know it's bloat. It's kind of embarrassing. I thought bloat would cause weight gain?? I haven't been too sick, so I haven't lost any weight. Had a healthy diet and ate enough. Drink lots of water, and I don't feel gassy, so what could the bloat be from? And why would I not gain any weight from the bloat? Any advice? It sucks because I only have one pair of jeans that fit now so I'm usually wearing sweats. :( Don't have the money for new jeans yet.

Its normal to not gain weight but have a belly. And you should really invest in a belly band they are under 20 dollars and it allows you to wear your old jeans (you can leave them un-buttoned and pull the band over it and you can't even tell!!) I didn't gain weight until I was 16 weeks but I had a pretty big baby bump, I'm 20 weeks now and I have gained 10 lbs and its all in my stomach!! And I'm wearing my same old jeans because of the belly band! the thing is amazing!!

• Its because its all bloating. The hormone that maintains the pregnancy for the first 12 weeks causes this.
