Ha! You look exactly like I do. And you for sure look like you have a baby belly, not fat

I dont know what is going on, I look 6 months preggers. I wasnt (what I consider) "overweight" to begin with, (maybe just carrying around a little bit of old baby weight) but I have this huge, hard tummy right now. Baby is only the size of a raspberry, so its baffling. It starts under my boobs, like a 3rd trimester pregnancy. What is up there???? LOL

Nice bump! Glad I'm not the only one! Perhaps were just going to have massive bumps by the time we get to full term! X

 

[AmyB1978]

Cute bumps ladies! Mine is more just bloating and bigger, not so much a bump yet.

Wookie, good luck with your scan, make sure you let us know how it goes.

I have a Dr appointment at 9:45 but they won't do a scan and I think it is still too early to use a doppler for heartbeat? It's annoying to have to go in and not really get any REAL reassurance that baby is still okay. (they are doing an internal today too, fun!)

 

[Sweedot]

Lol, I have a huge bump too, this is only my second baby but I definitely am showing much sooner than with Ezzy....does the uterus move up faster with subsequent pregnancies, maybe it's that coupled with major bloat. Lol

 

[skeet9924]

Lol I have crazy bloat! By the end of the day I look huge!!

I have my scan in 1.5 hrs!! I'm so nervous! I had crazy nightmares all nigh leading up to this scan. I pray I see a heart beat!!

Hi ladies, I thought I would join you all.

I have just moved over from Assisted LTTC, we have just found out we are PG and are over the moon to say the least.

To give you ladies a little 'depressing' history, we have beenTTC for 3+ years. We found out that DH had no sperm coming out, so he had an opp to retrieve sperm, this was unsucessful and he caught an infection, whcih meant he was very ill for 6 months - very scary and stressful time. When he was finally better we managed to start dealing with the news that we could not have a baby and consider the donor route. We started our first round of IUI's last summer but these failed. We then had to find another donor which took several months to again find someone we liked. We then had a further 3goes this year and on our 6th go it worked - amazingly! We are so excited.

I can't stop checking for blood everytime I go to the loo, I am just so scared of something going wrong. Because of all the treatment and the risk of multiples (I had 2 follicles this go of IUI) that they recommend a scan at 7 weeks, so I have this booked for 10th aug - I can't wait to find out everything is ok and is where it should be. It's an internal scan (which I have had hundreds of) They hope to hear the heartbeat and see the little one.

Anyway I will (assuming all goes well) be due at the end of March, not sure when yet, as my cycle was ultra short this month because of the increase in drugs used, that this throws out all the due date calculators!

So far I am feeling very very sleepy tired, very bloated and hungry and I felt a bit off this morning when I woke up. My boobs are massive, I have completly outgrown my bras already, but at this stage I refuse to go bra shopping!

I look forward to getting to know you all over the coming very excitingd months! xxx

My nausea started this morning, mild though, I ate and feel better and now I'm starving again!

I'm also battling a nasty cold and sinus infection, got one last time I was pregnant.

Did you know there is such a thing as Rhinitus of Pregnancy, which is a blocked nose, very much like an alergy, I suffered terribly with it during my IUI drugs and am now on medication which does not harm baby which is amazing! Of course you may actually have a cold, which would be great becasue it will pass soon. FYI my symptoms were a really really solid blocked unclearing nose, which stops you sleeping and breething! Just thought I would share this incase it helps you. x

 

[Step Mummy]

Hey everyone. Since this is my first pregnancy, just curious...is an 8 week scan internal or external ultrasound? .

Mine is at 7 weeks, and is internal because baby is too small to see from the outside at 7 weeks, so I would have thought 8 weeks is the same.

I having one because we did IUI with a donor, so because of the treatment they recommend an early scan.

Hello ladies!

I've been SO tired and feeling like crap... But that's good I guess! Since I had assisted conception, I was at a fertility clinic and it's time for me to "graduate" so I need to find an OB-GYN. It's bittersweet because I loved my clinic! They were SO nice!

Also, my OH and I got to hear our baby's heartbeat last Friday. The little one even moved a little!

Welcome Step Mummy! Myself and at leat a few others on here are also assisted LTTTC ladies. I still can't believe my luck and am always so worried!

Hey march mommas- I have a question for ya'll about MS and work.. and in need of a little advice.

I have been having BAD M/S, its really gained force in the last two weeks. I have an hour and half commute to work (one way) to get to my job. I work at a hospital as an OR technician. I keep puking at work, and they send me home (obviously can't keep vomiting in a sterile environment) but I'm at a loss of what to do. I don't plan on going back to work after I have the baby, but I really like my job and want to leave on good terms. But, I'm calling in a lot because I've been so sick, mainly because It's expensive in gas to drive so long to work just to get sent home :/. My husband keeps telling me I can just quit and stay home. He doesnt feel comfortable with me puking and driving- he thinks thats unsafe. He makes good money, so I don't "have" to work by any means.

I get a lot of pride from my job, and it goes against my plan of working till my 3rd trimester... so just quitting is a hard pill to swallow.

I just started this job 4 months ago, so I don't qualify for FMLA or anything...

Sorry for the novel, but in all honesty, what would you ladies do? I'm at such a torn/lost position right now.

Yes, I have a 2 year old aswell! Luckily I don't have sore boobs, but she still doesn't understand that she has to b careful of mammy's tummy! Have been bounced on far too many times, it does scare me a bit!
