[SweetV]

congrats on the great scans today ladies!
I just told myself today I was going to start doing bump pics. I'm going to start them tomorrow on the weekly markers. I should have done so at the very beginning as I am so so so bloated now after I eat I look 20+ weeks along.

I normally will eat sweets like my life depends on it, but for some reason sweets are just turning me off now. It's so unlike me. All I want is salty or fried foods. I am scared I am going to be the size of a house by the time this is over.

On a different note, last night (while I was trying to work) my DH, a notorious non-snuggler, decided he wanted to cuddle up and put his hand on my belly. It was so sweet and almost brought me to tears. It is so out of character for him and I really think I am just going to fall more in love with him as a dad. Sorry for being mushy.

Tex-That is too cute!! My hubby is super excited about this pregnancy. I think because we were SO STRESSED with our first it almost tore us apart, where this one was a surprise and we were just having fun and loving each other (no pun intended), so randomly he will come up to me and touch my belly and be like yayy we are pregnant lol! It's so loving when they do that!

re the bump pictures ... I took this today at 8+6, I know they say you show earlier in subsequent pregnancies but ... WTH?!? I know some is bloat, and I am not a small girl anyway, but I put a dress on today and it is cinched under the bust, I decided not to wear it in the end x



Had another emergency scan yesterday due to the bleeding carrying on and losing a large clot, everything is great, saw little legs and heartbeat too, now twice the size x
And, even better, I haven't bled since Monday, and only a small amount then xx

[littlesteph]

I feel big too, this is number 3. was tiny with both my boys, worried i'm going to be massive, only 9 weeks, lost around 4lbs, excuse the washing in the background.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Certain we have our scans on the same day. I'm really nervous about it. Glad it's first thing and that I've taken the rest of the day off.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I feel my belly is so big and I'm almost 9 weeks. I feel so uncomfortable sometimes! I can't wait till I firm up some and can show my belly.

 

[aley28]

My belly is enormous. Granted, I'm bigger now than I've ever been before (excepting the END of my first pregnancy) but I'm already in maternity tops and stretchy bottoms. I feel like I'm carrying like 30 babies in there so huge and uncomfy already... and only 9 weeks on.

 

[CertainTurton]

Kislme and little steph-gorgeous bumps! So glad about the scan and bleeding stopping kislme. I can't believe how much quicker it is this time. I too am a little heavier than when I got preg with dd but not massively-hoping it all firms up.soon!

Mrsbump- I am a mix of nervous and excited. I heard the hb again yesterday on my doppler which isreally reassuring but just want to see my baby and make it official! Mine is at 11.15 and I have to go straight to work tried to get it earlier but they wouldn't

So scared..telling my boss on Monday. Im dreading it but will be good to get it done as its on my mind And I don't think I will be able to hide it another 3 weeks with tight work uniform!

 

[catmummyof4]

Im too fat to put pics up but u all look great xx

 

[LynAnne]

I really want to join you ladies but I'm feeling very anxious about doing so as I'm going to see my GP tonight about cramps and bleeding. I'm so scared that it's all over before it's even begun! It started out as brown spotting and has been a mixture of brown, reddish brown and pink since with no clots then for the past two days I've had cramps. I'm hoping I can come back here tonight and join in properly!

 

[Smile181c]

I'm feeling huge too not enjoying this stage though as even though it looks like a bump, it just feels all squishy and fat I've gained 4lb so far which i think is *ok* according to google but still on the higher end of what I'm supposed to gain in 1st tri...

 

[Twag]

I am envious of all your bumps I have nothing in fact due to my sickness I have lost weight and my normal clothes are baggy - I didn't show until after 20 weeks with DS but I do think it is down to having a retroverted uterus so it takes longer for me to show or something but I want to feel a bump

Glad you all had good scans I am still awating my 1st scan date hoping it comes through any day now

 

[Eskimobabys]

7wk bump it's just bloat and fat this is my 3rd pregnancy.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

yeah I have a retroverted uterus too. I went from no bump to big bump overnight. Midwife said once baby reaches a certain weight it pushes the uterus forward to a standard position, hence the overnight bump.

 

[Twag]

yeah I got told at around 20 weeks it should be in the right position but that was baby #1 I am intrigued to what happens this time

I have been married to the love of my life since 2012 and we are very excited to expand our little family! I am very nervous with this pregnancy since the m/c last year but trying to stay positive! I am fairly new to my position (started in October) and some of my nerves are related to telling my board of directors about my pregnancy and making plans for my leave. I wish you all the happiest and healthiest of pregnancies!!!!
