I am 7.5 weeks going by my dates but super bloated. I have been feeling weird movements super low in my belly for a few weeks now. If I really am 7.5 weeks I know it can't be baby as it'll be way too small. Any ideas? Anyone experienced this?

Alternatively, anyone had a very convincing period and BFNs for like the first 9 weeks? 🙈

I am either further along than I think, or going mad 😂 but I don't think I can be as I had a very convincing period 7.5 weeks ago! And a negative test at 3 weeks 5 days, positive at 4 weeks 5 days.

Likely either gas or the pulling and stretching cramps you get in trimester 1? You could have a private 8 week scan to 1) check viability 2) check dates?

What you’re feeling is stretching. If you haven’t already download the pregnancy+ app.
it’s amazing, I’m 7+1 and it’s told me uterus is starting to stretch and it’s currently the size of an orange.

so it could be more gas/stretching/pulling/organs preparing like your bladder for example.

i’ll admit being pregnant is the most strangest thing (this being my first) I was worried about it all, but the app has made this all 10x easier because I would have been a nervous wreck otherwise lol

I agree with @LER2023
The app is amazing and feels like a nice way to get info and feel like you're kind of bonding with the little one.
I'm 7+1 and been feeling a lot of things similar to what you're describing. It's mainly stretching, bloating and sometimes trapped air in and around the organs. Wishing you all the best

It's weird I didn't feel this at all with baby 1!
