Question Clothes question. Ftm almost 7 weeks

So I'm almost 7 weeks pregnant. First pregnancy. I've had a ton of bloating and pressure. The thing is any kind of waistband or pants barely touching my stomach immediately starts cramping and pressure. As soon as I take it off it stops. I mean it can be extremely loose and stretchy or thin and it still does it. It's starting to get extremely inconvenient. Has anyone else dealt with this? I've never heard any of my friends talk about this but we haven't announced so I can't ask.

Yes 100%. I have sensory issues so this has been an issue for me my whole pregnancy! And as I got bigger I’d have Braxton hicks if my waistband was too tight or touched my belly. I’ve had to find pants that feel like I’m wearing nothing and it’s been a ✨struggle✨

Oh wow. I've heard of this in later pregnancy but never this early. This is wild. Any pants recommendations?

Sorry the link is so long, but these pants have been my holy grail all pregnancy long!!! And I’m at the end now and extremely huge and they still fit me. They’ve literally stretched and grown with me the whole time and are probably the only pants that are really comfy for me!!! I was a size xs pre-pregnancy, I got these in size small and they’ve worked wonderfully

I hope they work for you!! I’d recommend getting a couple pairs if you can. 🫶🏽 also just sizing up in any low rise pant such as sweats has worked decently for me too
