In the past two days, its like my symptoms have exploded and I just feel so pregnant. I'm bloated horribly and look like I'm at least 5 months along, which is I think the reason. I haven't been able to make a full BM for like two weeks now, so my tummy feels soooo full, combined with the fullness that I was feeling anyway from the baby. I think my bladder shrunk to the size of a marble, and every time I put my hand on my stomach, I half expect to feel itsy feet kicking at me, though of course my little one is far too little for that just yet.

I just remember that in my first pregnancy, I didn't feel anything but sick, sick, sick in the first trimester. I didn't start to feel pregnant until after the first trimester (14 weeks) and I was expecting the same this time.

I'm overjoyed to feel this fat and sick, though!:rofl: Its just confirmation that this is all REALLY happening, and each day that my boobs keep hurting and every time I run to the toilet and gag for ten minutes, I feel more and more sure that I'm not going to lose this one.:cloud9: And the fact that I'm tired enough to fall asleep flat on the floor... annoying, but encouraging!

Almost 6 weeks in, and I'm considering breaking out the maternity pants already, due to this bloated belly of mine.:blush: If it doesn't go away soon, there's no way I'm going to be able to transition to summer clothes and keep the belly a secret, though!:dohh: Gonna be wearing DH's t-shirts until June...
:flower:
 
That's wonderful to hear!! :happydance: Congrats on the symptoms!! I'm due around the same time as you by the looks of our tickers. I'm feeling pretty bloated too but haven't popped out yet. No real symptoms for me but with my son I didn't feel anything until well into the first trimester.

How long are you hoping to keep this a surprise? I know I'll be huge by the summer and I plan on wearing lots of cute summer dresses!! :D Everyone will probably know by the end of April/early May for me though.
 
Aw that's great. I am feeling more and more pregnant too, about 6 weeks now. Crazy!
 
My ticker is just an estimation! Conceived directly after a miscarriage, so I'm just using the date of the miscarriage as my LMP, since I don't know what else to go by. :haha: I figure it has to be pretty close.

I'm planning to tell everybody the first weekend of June, which is when we'll be celebrating our son's 2nd birthday! I'll be somewhere between 12-14 weeks by then, so it should be safe. And I'm not really going to tell them, I'm just going to wear clothes that make my belly very noticeable and let them do the guesswork. It'll just no longer be a secret at that point.:haha:

If its twins, (I just have this double feeling...)... I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know if I'll be able to hide a twin baby belly for another two months.:dohh: I'm not going to the doctor's until May, because we wanted to wait until the 8 week mark had come and gone, since miscarriage risk drops off a bit at that point, and I'm hoping for an ultrasound by the first week of June. Though with the unsureness of my EDD, I imagine they'll want to get me in before then.:haha:

I've got just about every symptom there is this time, minus the actual throwing up. I gag and feel sick, but I'm keeping everything down, which is a huge improvement from the first one! :dance:
 
My son was conceived directly after a miscarriage too. I talked to the doctor about that and he agreed that the miscarriage bleed would count as my LMP. Things lined up perfectly!

That'll be fun for everyone to noticeably see your belly!! And a possible twin belly, how fun would that be hey!! :happydance:
 
:yipee: isn't it wonderful! i felt like i 'popped' a few days after our bfp! though i don't think anyone would notice other than me yet! so exciting!! xx
 
I'm not sure my doctor is going to be very happy with me. He told me very clearly several times to be absolutely sure not to get pregnant for two months following the loss. I assured him that we would do everything we could not to get pregnant, besides me going back on birth control. Of course, we did no such thing... Just resumed our normal bedroom night life and... well, you know the rest. ;)

I was bloated a few days before my BFP... hehe. Its only gotten worse... I sit around the house with my pants undone because otherwise I feel like my tummy is going to implode. :dohh: I can't wait for the bloat to go away and the real baby belly to appear... but I imagine I have another month or so before either of those happens. :)
