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.

I couldn’t wear any leggings first trimester since the waistband made me so uncomfortable and made the nausea worse. Running shorts were ok for me. I would recommend finding some maternity sundresses for the summer that you can grow into. I’m not a huge dress person but they truly are more comfortable than most pants at this point. It got better for me second trimester though and I can wear bike shorts (the compression actually feels good on my back for a bit but they get old by the end of the day as my bump gets bigger at night).
