Congratulations on your pregnancy. Not quite the same symptoms but I did have trapped wind and lived off peppermint tea for the first 7-8 weeks. It will soon pass as we get into the fabled second trimester!

You certainly aren't! I'm 8+4 weeks today and my body changes daily. For days I feel like a whale, convinced everyone must know I'm pg or think I've at least let myself go a bit! But then yesterday and today I feel quite slim and my stomach looks relatively normal! This is my DC1 but in your case, a bump makes sense - a number of women say they develop a bump earlier with DC2.

As for wind, it's particularly bad at night and have to wait for my DH to fall asleep so I can let rip! And the noises my stomach makes are incredible!

Sadly wont be joining you guys as just been for 2nd early scan (previous miscarriage and ectopic) and baby hasn't grown since last scan 2 weeks ago and no heart beat. So sad.
I'm sat in costa coffee with a massive strong coffee and all I keep seeing is bumps.
Funny how the body works having all those symptoms when things clearly weren't right.
Hmm

Chocolate tiffin was yummy and caffeine was nice after abstaining!!
There is nothing to say is there.
Big hugs for my dd this evening as I know I'm lucky to have her. Dh on his way home as was on a course this week so big hugs with him too. It's a beautiful day and I feel strangely calm.
Good luck with your pregnancies ladies. Cherish them x
