or am I just imagining it? I'm sure I can see a little bit of a belly already, but surely its too early to be visible?......

No you are not being unreasonable, congratulations Grin Thanks

entropygirl · 08/05/2012 22:05

Blimey I had been puking for 10 days already by that point....YADNBU!

SodThat · 08/05/2012 22:06

one can most definitely show at 8 weeks. I was normally very flat stomached, but in all 3 pg i showed more or less straightaway

NearlyMrsCustardsHardHat · 08/05/2012 22:06

I was violently heaving by that point and had taken a greenish hue to my face. Congratulations!

chipsandmushypeas · 08/05/2012 22:07

I've felt pregnant since 4 weeks, maybe before. 7 weeks now and green as ever. Congrats :)

BumpingFuglies · 08/05/2012 22:08

Congratulations Gemma - I felt this also with my first pregnancy. Don't know if it's your first, but enjoy, if you can! Best wishes x

Lovelynewboots · 08/05/2012 22:09

There was always that taste in your mouth like you had been sucking on a penny and the constant feeling of nausea. And you don't want to tell anybody but at the same time want to tell everyone.

gemmalou123 · 08/05/2012 22:09

Put horrific sickness down to my DD bringing sickness bug home from nursery as DH has had it too... had no sickness at all first time round so hoped id be lucky again with this one.... Feel like im being a bit over dramatic but feel like a sack of poop!

That's my world right now lovely Grin. Feeling hungry and sick at the same time and no relief of either when you eat

marriedinwhite · 08/05/2012 22:12

YANBU. Remembers feeling pregnant the morning after and I was always right. Five times! Having said that only had unprotected sex five times so hope might have triumphed over victory from pure luck.

Spuddybean · 08/05/2012 22:13

4 days after we conceived i had searing migraines and gradually got sicker for the next 3 months. I was showing at 6 weeks and now at 24 weeks people think i am due soon Confused

I defo knew i was pregnant...as did everyone around me!

Congratulations :)

Lovelynewboots · 08/05/2012 22:13

All sounds very normal, I can remember throwing up in my car whilst driving my dd to her uncles and arriving covered in sick at eight weeks pregnant. Delightful!

IAmRubyLennox · 08/05/2012 22:13

How many babies have you had? With DC3, I was definitely showing at 8wks, not so much with the others.

Lovelynewboots · 08/05/2012 22:18

Congrats to you also chipsandmushypeas. My favourite dish also! Nausea will go soon and you will have a lovely glow instead of green around the gills!

I felt very strange at this point - had already been in hospital for hyperemesis - with both of em, I felt distinctly odd, and had some tummy swelling due to fluid etc.

On the bright side - the rest of my pregnancies apart from the hyperemesis till 13 weeks - was a doddle :o

I was really fit, swam loads, did Tae kwon do, (at my own pace, mooching for some of it and completely no contact or sparring involved ) - I was really really well for the rest of my pregnancy - but I have always found the first 12 weeks quite hard - my body undergoes seisemic changes, and I really don''t feel great at all - and I pooched out quite early due to fluid etc

And - congratulations!!!

rhondajean · 08/05/2012 22:44

I didn't show but I felt pregnant practically from conception - immense exhaustion straight away and then vicious sickness from six weeks in.

Every time I get broody I think about that!

rhondajean · 08/05/2012 22:44

Ooh and congratulations !

Janoschi · 09/05/2012 01:21

I felt pregnant a week before I was due my period. I took a test and it was my little DD. Some people just KNOW.

Namechangeagogo · 09/05/2012 01:24

I definitely felt pregnant. YADNBY

Namechangeagogo · 09/05/2012 01:27

Sorry, should read pregnant at 8 weeks. Blush

Aribura · 09/05/2012 02:41

I've known too many cases where people would swear on their lives they "felt pregnant" and then weren't, to believe that some people magically "just know".

Ozziegirly · 09/05/2012 06:24

I am also 8 weeks pregnant Smile and although I wouldn't say I feel "pregnant", i don't feel "normal" either in that I feel hungover the whole time and the thought of most food makes me slightly retch.

Congratulations!

chipsandmushypeas · 09/05/2012 07:43

Thanks lovely can't wait to feel better :)

littlemslazybones · 09/05/2012 08:30

I had just moved into a new house when I first fell pregnant. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and had spent the previous week being paranoid and putting up carbon monoxide detectors all round the house. I even made my dh throw out the previous owner's oven which they had left (because it had a pilot light that was constantly on) because clearly, something was poisoning me! Grin Blush
