That's exactly how I'm looking too! It happens with all of my pregnancies really early. I can't even suck it in or it hurts I'm doing the whole rubber band in the button hole of my jeans just so they're more comfy. I've never used a belly band but I'm getting one this week.

I was hoping to make my regular clothes last until spring/summer this time since I just lost 17lbs. But this bloat isn't making it easy to hide and I pretty much have one pair of jeans that sit low enough.

I feel bloated, but don't look much different. Which I blame on having never lost my baby weight from my last pregnancy. I gained 60 lbs (gah!) and only lost a third of it.

I'm actually pretty nervous about that. :-/

I feel super bloated too. I'm still at a good weight though. I worry once ms kicks in I'm going to get too thin. I usually lose 5-10 lbs first trimester. I'm starting out at 120 this time. I don't have much wiggle room!

Has anyone had MS kick in yet? I feel pretty good still, just tired more than anything. I'm not looking forward to what I know is inevitable.

Not yet. I'm trying to enjoy my pre ms time for as long as I can.

I will be joining you ladies! I just found out this morning!

Got my BFP today at 8/9 dpo. Going to wait until it gets darker to 'officially' let it set in. I am NOT telling DH for a while. Too much fun for me. I plan to get an ultrasound at 6-8 weeks, like I always do. We have new pictures of the kids we need to put up, so I plan to find a 3-picture frame, and put DS, DD and Bean's ultrasound pic in there. I know he'll notice right away. Plus I hope to have things more calm by then (kids on a schedule, routines down better, house more organized) so that we can do more celebrating than worrying.

Hi ladies! Got a bfp yesterday, of course this was the one month I was unsure of my O day, but the 2 days I think it could be were only a few days apart. Maybe we're in for frats! Oh, I can't believe I just wrote that. This is #9 for us, 6th living baby hopefully. I'm also still nursing a 1 year old and the last time I was pg in this time frame, I mc'd at 5wks. So, I'm cautious.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who keeps it a secret for some time. Last pg, I didn't say anything for 4 weeks. DH was kinda upset, so I won't go that long this time. Just a few more days. We probably won't tell fam for awhile also, esp his parents as they won't exactly be thrilled. MIL has asked us many times to be done, thing is, she asked for 10 grandkids when we first got married!

I am so looking forward to another homebirth. This will be my 4th. I so love my midwife and am super excited to get to see her often again! Praying I get to keep this tiny!

Found out on Fri that I'm expecting my first. Due date is October 10. I'm a bloated, emotional nervous wreck already!?!? WTH?!? For two days my breasts have been tender, constantly. And I've been uncomfortably, ridiculously bloated for 2 days. And I can't sleep at night. I sleep in two hour blocks, for a total of 4 hours on Fri night, and a total of maybe 6 hours last night. My symptoms came on SO strong SO fast... and now they are fading just as quickly!! It's making me nervous!! :'(
