OMG - so early in pregnancy why do I feel like I'm going to explode?

This is my 4th pregnancy and I never had this before - feeling like my stomach has a balloon in it and I'm going to explode!

Am only 6+5 and so bloody uncomfortable. Also had nausea, which again I never had before even with twin pregnancy . Know it's not multiples as I've already had a scan. I feel starving all the time but as soon as I eat something I feel like shit. Am also so bloody tired, it's so hard not to lie down on the sofa and tell the kids to get their own tea (was so tempted to have a nap when they were at school today but was afraid I would oversleep and not get there to pick them up).

How do you cope with this??!!

I am only 4 weeks ish with number 3 (4 weeks ish - can you tell its not first pregnancy lol). I feel huge (impossible!), trousers are looser as I have been sick but I dont like them tight on my tummy, can't sleep on my tummy, it all feels really heavy...

Came home from work at lunch time and slept for 3 hours straight

Starving then feel like shit - yup!

God help us lol

Hehehe!! Am only a couple of weeks with number 3 (no bfp yet but THE SIGNS ARE UNMISTAKABLE!) - am also feeling enormous and can hardly move with the pain in my boobs. Yes, I'm starving too and feel like there's hardly any room left in there for the food. Oh, and YES! - the tiredness... and the wee-stops... and the up and down joy vs anxiety... The dilemma is that we don't want to tell anyone until the scan at 12 weeks but I have no idea how I'm going to keep this under wraps. I empathise with you both, bigm and peppa, but I'm also quite pleased that I'm not the only one feeling like this! (Congrats to you both!) xx

Thank goodness its not just me. I eat and eat and eat and then feel horrible. Also just fancy really unhealthy food (lots of carbs). I did not feel like this with my first and am sure people know am pregnant as always snacking and put on soooooo much weight and only 8 weeks

I've also ballooned! I think we are roughly the same time Bigmomma! This is my 3rd DC. I am already in maternity clothes

We have told family couldnt hide it as I have to inject daily and my mum would have noticed this weekend! But DH's work (my old recent place of work too!) is having a christmas ball on the 23rd Dec - I am showing now - I am not going to be able to hide it then but then on the other hand I'm quite looking forward to the shocked faces especially as my ex best friend is a director there lol! Childish hey!

Nausea has been pretty bad today but it's on and off usually and my boobs hurt like hell too!

I think so Maitri - I just know I'm due at some point in the summer

Thing is I always suffer badly with morning sickness so I eat..am sick...eat...am sick...which is somewhat difficult in work
