I feel really round in the tummy area, I know my body has changed because a tightish dress I tried on a few weeks ago I look completely different in now, I'm 7 weeks today. Could be down to the food I'm eating but I've actually lost some weight from the nausea so not sure.

It's 4pm and I'm still in bed, I just can't bring myself to do nannying feel shattered and so sick.

Speaking of food has anyone had any cravings yet? I can't get enough cheese!!

I'm not showing but I am rounder/bloated. I'm a size 18 so I think it will be a while before you tell I've got a bump.

I think I started getting a bump around 14 weeks last time! I'm a short arse though and have a small torso so there's nowhere for anything to go except OUT!

No cravings for me yet. I don't want any food whatsoever though, I'm never hungry at all. I can't wait to actually want food and enjoy a meal again. It's funny what silly things we can take for granted when not pregnant isn't it?!

Ha yup. I can eat (about 25-50% of a normal portion) but I am suddenly very fussy. I have just sent DF out for olives, ham and tomatoes, which I will eat with toast! Bizarre. I'm not usually fussy at all.

Hollyjokes, I'm very short..long legs but mini torso..so I reckon I will be showing very soon. I just look plump at the moment because I can't hold my tummy in, mainly because of bladder pressure. I over ate in my first pregnancy (mmc in July) and haven't really lost much of that weight since then, so the difference isn't maybe as obvious this time. Chubby to chubbier!
Upset tummy today. Not sure if preg related. Have had to cancel dinner with a friend. Also had a few waves of nausea, but nothing major on that front yet.

Girls I've added a belly photo, thought that'd be something to start!! What do you think?? 5+1 weeks and I think it's already showing!!! Won't be able to keep it quiet for long.

I am eating really badly Blush

Today's menu includes a maccy ds for breakfast, strawberry haagen daz ice cream, doritos and a sole lonely clementine. I also can't get enough skimmed milk, not something I normally drink but it's tasting really good right now, and it quells nausea when sipped slowly.

I am definitely bloated by the end of the day too - no belly pics from me though I am too shy!

I've had waves of nausea today, not as bad as a few days ago though. So of course the paranoia something is wrong with the pregnancy has kicked in.

Choccy so sorry you're bleeding. Really hope it's not what you're fearing.

This is my first pregnancy and I've been very round and bloated for the last few weeks. I'm only a size 8 so it really shows! I'm having to select my clothes carefully else people will think I'm already past 12 weeks!

I went to my GP surgery but annoyingly I need to speak to a GP first before I can be referred to a midwife. They had no appointment till Jan Blush so they've given me a telephone consultation in the hope that that will be enough on Monday for the GP to refer me on. I was given a choice of hospitals and I've already decided on the one that is more local and has a midwife led unit whereas the other one doesn't.

With regards to telling family and friends. I've told my best friend who is in Australia and is sworn to secrecy. That's it though. I want to tell select family at Christmas so I don't get questioned or guessed at but DH really doesn't want to tell anyone until after 12 weeks scan so we will most likely wait.

My weekend is quite busy. Been visiting family today and going to a friends for lunch tomorrow. Tomorrow will also involve a massive lie-in non shattered!

missV you most certainly look pregnant Smile.

Is/ was anyone else dieting before getting pregnant? I've been going to slimming world for the last 5-6 weeks and have lost 9lbs so far. I'm intending to carry on as its essentially a healthy eating plan rather than a calorie counting plan so is fine for pregnancy. I'm am hoping to counteract any pregnancy weight I put on & hopefully still loose some of the extra 3+ stone I'm carry Blush

I'm so sorry Choccy. Make sure your DH / DP takes good care of you. xx

Hi to newbies.

MissV, I bloated straight away last time and looked far further along than I was, but at the latter stage where the bump was measured I was thereabouts bang on dates (despite giving birth to a 9lb 7oz baby!).

I'm a bit crampy today and very tired. Still not feeling amazingly pregnant and I too have the dread. :-/

FEE I am wondering about weight loss too. I'm very overweight so going to speak to the midwife and see what she says as I reeeeally don't want to get any bigger than the size I am now!

Got my appointment through today for midwife, 6th January, a lot later to wait than with MC pregnancy it was at 7.5 weeks, I'll be about 10 by then all being well. Might be a good thing that I'll have had my reassurance scan first in case something is wrong, and if everything is ok I'll feel like less of a fraud talking to the MW!

Shallol, I thought that. Lol but no, defo 5 weeks. Hungry I'm thinking boy as I feel completely different this time.

Tonight's the first time, my back ache and lower abdo pain has gone. Kept thinking is that a good sign. But what will be will be. I'm thinking positive.

Pina my doctor told me mw won't see me till after 12 weeks!!! It's gonna drag!!

Oooft MissV, that is a drag! My doc said it will probably be around 10 weeks for me, which takes me into second week of January I think! Hoping to get the letter soon, but with the Xmas rush I'm not hopeful seeing it this side of Xmas!
