Sheriskers, my bloat is horrible! I look like i did when i was 14w last pregnancy and I'm right behind you. Definately showing earlier this time. My abs are not as tight and my bloat baby is really poking out. I live with my inlaws and am hoping to keep it secret til 12w. I dont know if i can! Im nervous for my scan next Friday. My mmc stopped growing at 7w1d and I'll be a few days over. I wont breathe good til 12w, and I'll still be nervous. I'll at least wait til after scan to tell everyone.
Do you think you will tell them before they leave? I don't know if i would just get it over with or wait and tell them on the phone after they're gone! Lol. Im kinda feeling the "i knew it" thing. My mil has dreams that come true. She thinks she really has a gift. Before i was pg with dd she had a dream about a little boy and girl at the top of their stairs. I didn't think i would have 1, let alone 2. Then, she told me about a month ago i needed to have another one soon so Ruthie has someone to play with. I know the "i knew it" is on the way.

Hey ladies! I’ll join you here! I’m 38 will be 39 when baby is born! EDD Dec 2. I have 1 DD who is turning 18 next month! ????. She is from a previous relationship so this is DH’s first baby. I am 7w6d and feeling nauseous, bloated (can’t fit in my pants already!) sore BBs and sleep issues!! I keep waiting to feel emotional but all I’m getting is cranky off & on! I am from Canada but am living in Australia so I’m on a different time zone ????

Omg the bloat and gas is brutal. I don't recall it being this bad this early with my first. Some days I feel like I'm letting out one giant, long marathon fart from the moment i wake up till I go to bed. I'm a hot air balloon. And farting is the only thing that bring relief, all be it temporary. My doc gave me some natural tricks/tips on how to manage it but said that if it gets worse and the tips don't ring relief, he'll prescribe medication. The only thing that's managed to let up is the constipation by getting serious about adding fiber.

@midnightrose3 you do have a unique family situation! It's also very cool! A family is a family, no matter how it's made up. Love it!

Hi, tryingafteraloss! Glad you found us! I am loving that a lot of us are a little older! Makes me feel a little less crazy for wanting another baby. All my friends have kids that average in high school and here i am, just starting! Lol. Austrailia! It is 5:14 am here. Yes, i am there with you on sleep problems. I wake up nauseaus and having to pee and can never go back to sleep.

Omgosh I'm so glad it's at least not just me with the bloat! I did the hair tie around the top button trick yesterday and by the end of the day even that popped off lol I'm waking up sometimes multiple times to pee at night and have an awful time getting back to sleep.
@Kelliria no, we won't tell before they leave. My parents don't even know and they were the first ones we told last time. We have to go down to FL for my SIL's wedding in 2 weeks and I'll be facing it all over again. By then I'll have had my first scan so I'm not against telling them then but part of me still wants to hold off to lower their expectations even more Hahah plus, I don't want to steal SIL's wedding thunder. Agh. I don't know! I just want to make it to the 12 week mark quickly!
@neomasie hot air balloon!

Hi ladies!! I’m 37, will be 38 in Sept and my EDD is 12-30! I’m hoping I’ll have the baby before Christmas as Christmas is my favvvvv holiday because can I spend it with my entire family!!

I’ve had 2 MMC - 1 in May 2015 and last one was Dec 2017. I’m just trying to think positive thoughts and stay as relaxed as possible th is pregnancy. I just found out the other day, and I’m super early!! I’m 3w6d right now and can’t wait to have my hcg and progesterone checked. I’m also going to go with a new doctor because my old one just rubbed me the wrong way and I don’t need any extra stress!

My bf has 2 kids already and he hasn’t been with his ex wife for almost a year and they’re now going thru the divorce process so that’s a little stressful but I know it’ll all work out. Him and I live together and I love him with all my heart and I am SO EXCITED to have a little piece of him and I in one little baby! He’s an amazing daddy and I know our baby is gonna be so loved!!

My symptoms - so gassy!, like wake myself up from farting in my sleep haha, wake up multiple times thru night to pee, I want sweets, specifically chocolate all the time! And I’m so bloated!! Bbs are def larger but not sore every day

Only had digital test left so I took apart tests to see the second line. Top test is from 4/20 at 2am and bottom is from 4/21 at 2:50pm (like 1 he hold). I’m waiting on my tests to be delivered on Monday but I may go to cvs to get more before they show. I have a need to see line get darker and it does look darker today so that makes me very happy!!

Congrats again @BB2018!

So how are you ladies this morning? I'm doing ok. Still pregnant, which I"m very grateful for. I keep expecting to wake up and have it all go away. Got my first wave of nausea last night. That was fun.

Hi! Gm to you too! I am doing ok. It is pretty out and we did some major grilling out! Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, fish, a steak for me, corn on the cob, 2 types pasta salad, broccoli, french fries. Whew. All i could eat was 4 bites of a hot dog. story of my pg life but i am ok with that.
I told my mil today. We live with her. Luckily, she was excited, at least to my face. She has 3 kids, the youngest is 36. Our dd is her only grandkid so she is happy.
