Hi
I'm 8wks + 4, had an early scan and also ties in with temping so should be right. Just measured my bust, it's gone from a B/C cup to a DD/F cup!! Face swollen this last week and feet looking puffy today. My 'bump' or rather bloating looks 4mths and grows to more like 5mths after a meal. Put on 8 pounds since conception, eating a little more often in that I tend to split the evening meal in two, but as a whole not eating much more. I get out of puff at everything, and obviously light headed and queasy. Had all my bloods taken yesterday, blood pressure fine. Feeling huge, hard to hide - it's my first though stomach muscles weaker from previous op. Just feel like a heffalump today.

What does everyone do about bras? And can you wear them a night - as sore to sleep on my side or move.

I can empathise, I am 14+1 with my first and was massive from the start.

I am not a small lady anyway and my bust went from HH to K in the first 8weeks. The soreness does subside but it can be really annoying, Bravissimo do a great bed bra that is soft and supportive to sleep in.

I had to size up and bought one the correct size and one the next cup size up to allow for future growth.

Belly is massive but growth seams to be slowing down. Living in stretchy clothes. only thing I had to upgrade was my knickers... elastic digging into your belly is not nice.

Thank you Hobbs!! Will check out those bras, glad it's not just me. Measured earlier today and got a shock how much my breasts had grown - although obvious when I look down 🙈 Wanted a baby for so long my body seems to have just gone: wooohoooo!

I am 9+2 and am a complete blimp!! I've had to go up clothes sizes already . Trying to hide it at work is so hard and I am so bloody uncomfortable!! Boobs are huge ! I am in non unwired bras as they are so much more comfortable!

I'm only 7 weeks and I've really puffed out. I'm putting it down to bloat more than an actual bump but it's still not the look I'm going for when I'm trying to hide the fact I'm pregnant from people.

Boobs have definitely grown, not sure how much by though. All I know is they're beginning to bust out my normal bras. I'm resisting buying any new clothes until later in pregnancy though, if I can help it.

Thank you!! I feel so conspicuous especially in this hot weather, roll on 12 weeks when I surrender and go into maternity clothes :) Non underwire sound like a good plan Cat! I've always been small chested so lived in push up and padded, but time for a change. For the first time ever feeling a relief to take off my bra.

SheSaid - only measured myself today and got a shock!! I've found a few stretchy or floaty ones in a local charity shop - make me look huge but ready for 12 weeks. Just know the 'how long have you got!!' and 'is it triplets' will come flooding in! So far for those who know, I've just said at least the baby's got padding :) But it seems like everyone I know is give sideward glances to my stomach! Used to be a size 12 but not anymore.
