I'm not showing yet @myloveforfrazzles (15+4) but my trousers are definitely snugger around the tummy. I definitely feel bigger in my lower abdomen - sort of how your belly might stick out there when you have a really full bladder. It's like that all the time - so when I have a full bladder it feels like I'm showing but only till I go to the loo 😂

I've put on 5lbs so far, think I need to cut back on the mash potato a bit!

I thought I was showing but it's just bloat. I've put 5.5lb on and only 13.5 weeks lol

@dinosauraddict jemstar from the chlomid thread has whatsapped me and is asking how you're doing :)

Lots of lovely scans today. Congrats everyone!

Had to wear smart clothes to teach some GPs and ended up in a maternity dress - just looked flabby.

I’m only just under 7stone anyways so I thought I’d start showing early

@Jesskir89 not long, only a week and a half!

@myloveforfrazzles think I am a tiny bit, just look a bit fat most of the time but when my bloating goes down there's definitely a teeny little tilted bump down there

Welcome @myloveforfrazzles!
Congrats on your boy @brookelopez.
Aww @Jesskir89 that's lovely, how is she? I'm currently 14+6 and doing well.

Update from me - I've really 'popped' in the last few days. A dress I tried on last Tuesday was fine, then by Thursday was really showing a proper bump. Counting down to my gender scan - I just really want to know now!!

@myloveforfrazzles I don't think I've been 7 stone since I was in school I'm double that now lol.

@dinosauraddict she's doing OK she's still down of course but is hopeful for this cycle :)

Hi there, can I join?
I'm Jo and mum to a son who was born in June 2015.
Estimated due date is the 18th March 2020 but I have my first scan tomorrow.
I signed up to mumsnet when I had my son but never got in touch with anyone.
Hope everyone is okay :)

@minijmac welcome to the friendliest thread on mn :) and congrats

Welcome @MiniJMac !

@Jesskir89 please tell her I've got everything crossed for her this cycle!! X

Welcome!! @MiniJMac

@Jesskir89 oops, I meant just under 8 stone. I’m only 5’2, I look about 13😂 I’m looking forward to the funny looks when I’m walking around with a prom

thanks for your wishes everyone. today has been quite emotional for me. I an NC with the baby's dad due to him gas lighting me and not being kind in general. He knows I've had the scan and I forgot to block him via texts, so he's been harassing me all day wanting to know what 'hes' having, and I'm a selfish bitch etc. he actually tried to invite himself to the scan last week and I had to change venue in case he showed and ruined it for me.

in other news, tonight I can't stop farting

@brookelopez that sounds really stressful (which is not what you need right now). I assume the split is also really recent so must be very raw. Hope you've got a good support network around you.

@dinosauraddict will do :) @myloveforfrazzles I'm very jealous and lol sod any nosey parkers

@brookelopez I’m sorry to hear that. You don’t need the stress. It sounds like your mum and friend are there to support you though

Has anyone started considering names? We already have a girls name picked out but it just feels like we’re never going to find a boys name we both like

@myloveforfrazzles we have thought of some boy names...I'm so convinced we're having a boy that's all I've been able to think of. I really like Caspar at the moment, hopefully the ghost connotation won't be so strong in our babies' generation! What have you got picked?

thank you both. I do have support but I feel like this shouldn't be my life if that makes sense? I'm happy to be pregnant, it was a happy accident, I wouldn't change the baby for the world. Just wish his dad wasn't so nasty.

I have my boys name picked out already, it's easier for me because only I have to say yes to it it's so difficult finding a name that suits at every stage of life but I think I've cracked it.

@DerbyshireGirly Caspar is lovely!. We have Julia Edie Hope picked out if we have a girl. We have nothing for a boy, my favourite name is George and his is Stanley but we want something a bit more unusual.

@brookelopez that’s understandable. I can imagine it’s much easier choosing a name you love when it’s just you who picks it!. That’s the issue isn’t it, I love names that work for little babies and then I imagine them being an adult and it just doesn’t work.

@myloveforfrazzles thank you! Your choices are lovely too, very classic. I also really like George but it is everywhere at the moment.

Thank you :) and yep I’ve noticed that. That’s the one thing putting me off George. I’m saying all this but we might be having a girl so we might not have to worry.

Was sent home from work today because of the sickness. Any idea when it starts to ease off? I can’t deal with it much longer

@maria94 yes, my hips (especially my right one) are killing me. Especially when I'm lying in bed. I'm only 14+4 but have invested in a pregnancy pillow to put between my knees to see if that eases it. It's horrible isn't it!

Spreading the news today. Dp told his friends. I told the 1 person I talk to lol. Told the kids as well. Got 2 excited girls. And a shocked teenager feels very real now.
