whodey, my boobs were the first thing to really change. They grew super fast in the first few weeks. H was gone for training from weeks 4-10 and came home and freaked (in a good way) because they were so big already I was a D to begin with pre-pregnancy. I have no idea what they are now, except that they are huge and super heavy. lol
Nope, this hasn't happened for me either. And I was kind of looking forward to not being flat-chested for a while!
I swear the ultrasounds show that I'm pregnant, despite the lack of symptoms.
My boobs didn't really grow until a week or two before my belly popped. Some days I feel like they are still growing. You may get your knockers yet, cactuscookie.
Add me to the itty bitty titty committee. They went up half a cup size with V, but I think they might have grown more had I made it to full term and started breastfeeding. We'll see what they do this time.
As this is kind of my second go-round, I'm already looking pretty suspiciously full in the lower abdomen. I give it another 2 weeks before it's obvious. It's not made any better by the fact that I'm petite and have a relatively short torso.
I bought 1 pair of maternity pants at 5 we eks because the bloat was so bad. Once that resolved, I bought more at about 12 weeks on clearance.
Once that resolved... you mean this bloat might go down for a little while? That would be nice, although seeing my belly deflate may be disconcerting.
I found the bloating was up and down for most of first tri for me. It was always better in the morning and worse in the evenings. Finally around, maybe week 11ish, I noticed that I started to have less bloat and then over time my belly would grow bit by bit. It never really deflated per se, I just stopped seeing such a big difference in it from morning to evening.
I always didn't wear maternity stuff until I hit 13 weeks, but if your uncomfortable in your regular clothes don't fight it. Get one or 2 things to hold you over for now if you want. Everyone is different.

Mine barely changed when pregnant. Just wait till your milk comes in

I literally had one day where my bloat went down. I gained 15 lbs from IVF to BFP, I never had a big loss but in the 8 weeks since I'm down about half that.
Stuff with salicylic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide.
My face wash is fine, but I had to give up my favorite day and night moisturizers--both have retinol in them.
I gave up my stuff with salicylic acid and boy have I been breaking out. I did not get the "clear skin pregnancy glow" thing. I got the "I'm back in high school and going through puberty" thing. I can't wait to use that stuff again!
i can only tell you this because, well, it's you and me but also - I half want to hear a big fuck off rachelgreen from you ( ) Giving up those facewashes was the best thing for my face in the long run. I always had breakouts bc of my PCOS but eventually I got that glow in my second half of pregnancy and here I am 6 months pp and I don't break out like I used to at all. It's amazing.

Because it's you, I may take your advice and see if it clears up PP for awhile before going back to it. I'd love it if I didn't need that stuff anymore. Right now, I'm breaking out worse than if I just never washed my face with anything for the last few months. Anytime now that glow can kick in, I will welcome it with open arms!
You'll have to try harder if you want me to tell you to get out of here with your advice I'll gladly accept your "been there, done that" wisdom!
If by 'glow' you mean my face is a sweaty, pallid grey from all this nausea, then yes. I'm glowing.
Good luck Muddled! Do they make everyone in the US take these glucose tests? I remember asking the midwife about it when I was pregnant with V and she said they only test you here if your urine sample concerns them.
I do put on a bit of bronzer and blush when I go out, just so that I don't look like the angel of death. I have a very fair complexion though so I have to be careful not to overdo it.
My viability u/s is in 5 hours and I'm SO NERVOUS. I couldn't get to sleep last night so I finally took a Tylenol PM at midnight which made waking up at 530a rough. Wouldn't you know I don't have any meetings today to distract me, so I'm trying to stay busy, but I'm still looking at the clock every 10 minutes. I should have insisted on a morning appointment - 4pm is torture. Please keep your FX for me
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
As long as I don't get grape flavor, I'll be ok I think. I don't even know if they make that flavor, but thats the only one I cannot handle.
OMG, if I got grape I would puke, pregnant or not. I've never heard of anyone having grape, so hopefully it doesn't exist.
Right?! Artificial grape is the one flavor in the world I would not be able to drink a whole bottle of that crap of. I've not heard of it either, but this is my irrational fear that I'll be the first to get it. lol
