I feel huge too @StylishDuck! I just feel fat rather than pg though!

@StylishDuck I'm huge! Nearly 9 weeks too!

@issywizzybelle I definitely had the feeling chilled thing - seems to have levelled off a bit.

As has the tiredness and the sore boobs. In fact the only thing left is mild nausea ( so people carrying pungent skunk on the bus not appreciate I'm suffering? The nausea). Am 9 weeks and now a bit twitchy without the cornucopia of weird symptoms. trying not to read too much in to it,

I'm glad it's not just me. I find myself sticking my tummy out and patting it in public so strangers know I'm pregnant and not just fat Yet with people I know who I haven't told yet I'm trying to hide it

Massive here too and only 7 weeks!!

Omg @StylishDuck yes I'm huge. I look like when I was 20 weeks with DS and I'm only 9+4 with this one!!

I've been raiding my wardrobe as I usually wear nice figure-hugging clothes but I just can't right now so finding the floatiest of floatiest dresses to wear

This was about 24 weeks with DS. I basically look like this now already ☹️

I'm another one that's enormous. I'm living in jeans and trousers (which I never wear). Even they don't fit. My arse is like the size of Jupiter also!

Oh my god Mills that's how I looked at 8 weeks with you 1st! At 24 weeks I looked like I'd swallowed a beach ball! I'm only 6+1 but I'm definitely bloated and struggling with some clothes as I just look pregnant! Far too early to tell anyone but how on earth am I going to hide this at work next week?!

Ha BreakingBad I'm impressed you can still even attempt your jeans. I'm living in leggings and long tops. I'm refusing point blank to dig out my maternity clothes this early.

MY first, not YOU 1st! I promise I'm not your mum!

@StylishDuck my 12 week scan is 26th June also! I have booked a private 10 week too which is 10th June. I too am massive but not just my stomach! My face, arms and thighs seem to have expanded too so I can see myself having an extremely large pregnancy!

Can't wait to just tell everyone!

What're everyone's feelings on coffee? Before I got pregnant I was having 2-4 cups a day, I've reduced it to about 2-3 a week. This is within the recommended isn't it? Just treated myself to a small latte but worried it will have tons of caffeine in x

Im huge too but I think it's mostly a gassy bloated stomach and nothing to do with bean, I can however see my lower abdomen starting to rise to meet with my huge stomach and I assume thats the start of my real bump! Also dh keeps patting my stomach and I have to tell him that he's just patting a gassy bloated stomach and move his hand lower down where there is that genuine little bump!

Also has anyone's boobs grown humongous?? I'm usually a small 34B but my breasts are suddenly gigantic, like cows udders and none of my bras for anymore! I didn't expect them to get so big so soon!!

@robindeer 😂 do you work in an office? I bought a few floaty dresses from ASOS that were a size up and they seem to hide my bloat/fat/pregnant belly.

@HannahD1991I've switched to decaf coffee but I do allow myself a full-fat Coke once a day as it settles me nausea even though it's full of caffeine.

I feel huge too. I went massive with my dd. Did have preeclampsia tho. I went from a size 6 to a size 12!!! I'm feeling it now tho!! Other mums at school are looking at me as if to say yep your deffo in the Keith cheggers club!! Xxx

Oh Ruth that just brought back my memory of how huge I was because of pre eclampsia before I had DS. Face, arms and feet ballooned. Looked like a big swollen unhealthy sausage.

Scan this weekend. Don't think I'll be able to sleep before it. Not too bloated yet but I think my sickness will give me away in work soon.

At 24 weeks last time I was almost refused boarding on a plane as my bump was so big they thought I was lying about how far along I was.

7 weeks and I'm bigger now than your 24 weeks pic mills. Am I having quads?!

Ahh I'm quite jealous of all of you showing, I can't wait to get a bump! Am going on holiday at 15 weeks so I'd really like a proper bump by then!!

@hannah I think as long as you're in the recommended guidelines you're fine! Just maybe have a look into where is the most caffeinated and avoid? As think it varies from place to place.

@Waitingonasmile I was huge!!! Wasn't as if my daughter was massive either she was only 4lb10. Hopefully I won't be the same this time!! Not been sick this morning!! Just about to go out with my mother in law could just do with a day on the couch tho!! Xxx

@PolkaDotFlamingo I'll take a pic at 24 weeks when I get there and compare the two. Will be depressing.

Honestly with the amount of food I'm eating one would think I'm also having quads 😂

Hannah I think I read somewhere that you can have up to 200 mg caffeine a day. I have switched to decaf tea and coffee but I still love my Diet Coke. I think there's only 50 mg in a can though so one a day is ok... I just can't drink the caffeine free Diet Coke. I find it really gassy and that's the last thing I need at the moment!

Most of my jeans are tight (thank god for the hairband trick)
My size 12 jeans are fitting ok
I'm normally a 10 on bottom 14 on top so an odd shape anyway

My boobs feel bigger, DH says they are too but my bras are all fitting.

I used to walk/jog 5 times a week but with the tiredness and spotting scare I've done nothing in the last 2 weeks
Think I'd better start moving again as I'm not sure if I'm bloated/gassy or I've just put weight on my stomach

I'm only 7ish weeks now, we are going away when I'm 11weeks and not sure if any of my holiday clothes will fit but probably won't have an actual bump
Not looking forward to just looking like I ate all the pasta

Ahh thanks all, I think I will switch to decaf! Just sat at my desk in work and ate 2 cookies, a yoghurt, a banana and a small kitkat  alls I'm craving is sugar!!

I do need to try to curb my sugar craving and start eating more healthy though. I'd gained 1 and a half stone before getting pregnant, lost 7 pound at slimming world and I've put it back on now already!

@Maybebaby2 I'm the same I'm normally a small 34B but my bras started really digging in so I went to new look yesterday and bought 2 34c bras and they feel so much better. I have never had an actual pair of boobs so I'm excited for that haha! X

I feel like I'm just so bloated!!!

Having mini meltdown don't know if I can wait until 12 week scan lol 😭 I'll just need too it I am so so anxious!!

I have been drinking PG tips decaf it's actually fine. Just have 1 or 2 normal cups of tea a day.

Is anyone else feeling sick after taking pregnacare vitamin xxx

I'm feeling sick constantly! I didn't even think it could be the folic acid! I've been taking preconceive though, is pregnacare better?

I've booked an early scan but to be honest I think that's just because of my extremely anxious mind! It was £39 too which isn't too bad! Xx
