Welcome to Melissa! And congratulations to all the new u/s successes! I can't wait to hear about you girl's having them today........

I REALLY need the belly band..... I am sitting here at work with my pants undone! (But I have a long loose sweater on!) Clothes are getting so snug.... and my belly is already popping out - I really think I am beginning to show already, which is crazy as I didn't show with DD until I was about 14 weeks.

A colleague actually asked me yesterday if I was pg!!

Welcome Melissa!

Sorry I have been MIA, I was feeling so sick, I could barely even get online. The good news is that after a really scary episode of big time bleeding (after vomiting all night, ugh), everything is ok with the baby and I am on the mend. I have been thinking about ordering a bella band too, since my jeans are so tight - and uncomfortable - since my ovaries are giant ad I have put on a few pounds. My tasks for today are to do that and to make an appointment with the midwife/OB. Oh, and to rest. I don't quite feel 100% yet.

Claudia: Thank God you are OK. I was very worried. I have seen a lot of people with this bad stomach flu. Nasty bug but I know you are strong. I will keep for you to get better. Thanks for updating the list.
Melissa:

Christie: Congrats to graduate to the "normal group".

This thread surprises me always on how much we are in sync. I just was checking yesterday about this bella band. I saved a couple of my bigger pants ( before I lost weight) but if they fit in the waist they are so loose in the legs that I fell like a clown. I am surprised that my lower stomach is so big. I am already showing. I told my DH last week but he thought it was just a result of my big appetite. But yesterday when finally my upper stomach was
less bloated the lower stomach was still poping up. I only showed on my 16th week on my last pregg. Actually I married at 14 weeks and did not show at all in the wedding dress. .
When are you planning to release the "NEWS" to friends and work. I was hoping to keep it till I am 16 wks but with this big tummy...

Today is my US (4:30 Pacific). I really hope everything is OK. I just want to make sure the cause of this big stomach is my baby(s) inside the uterus. I had an ectopic a yr ago and it was a major disapointment.
Please keep your .

Well, I am back from my 2nd ultrasound (unscheduled because of spotting/bleeding) and all looks good. The babies are both measuring 7 weeks 5 days and have good heartbeats - they could find no reason for the bleeding and said that it just happens sometimes especially with multiples. I am going to try not to worry and we have another ultrasound next Wednesday at the re and then I am released to my ob.

Claudia and Fossie - I'm so glad to hear the great news!


Definately going to go check out the belly band. I'm already wearing my bigger bras, but I'm wearing my last pair of "big" jeans today and they are so uncomfortable. Good thing leggings and big tops are back in style!


As far as when to tell people - this time people have pretty much known since the beginning since we just recently had the last m/c. I feel better talking abou tit to people after the u/s monday, but I'm still a little cautious until we get past 10 - 11 wks just because we lost the first one so far along.


Claudia - u/s update myself and I think Erik'sgirl are both set for 3/3.

Claudia: Multiples would be great, but my DH will have a heart attack if is more then 3. Our DD is starting to have her teen moments so imagine 3 extra girls... But as long he/ she/ they are the cause for my big tummy I am cool.

P.S. Motherhood carries the bella band much cheaper but is called tummy sleeve. Not so fancy name though.

Fossie - I am so relieved for you!


Waiting to hear from your u/s ladies!

I think part of my 'showing' is actually bloating/constipation (kind of gross to think of that, huh!?) It got better for a few days but is bad again now.....same thing I had with dd though. I put more weight on in general with dd and was a little larger anyway back then, so I think being slimmer now is another reason my belly is popped out so early. I don't think I really 'look' pregnant yet...just a little pot-bellied! ha!

Claudia - don't know if you're updating but my next appt is march 4th.

Hi Girls...I had my u/s today and I had one healthy bean! Heartrate was 175! Isn't it amazing how our hearts do so much work our whole life? My little bean was moving around, it was so cute!

I seriously have pregnancy brain...I can't keep up with everyone on this thread, but I try!

I also had my first OB appt. today. I told her that I was already in maternity clothes, and she said that was normal, especially with a second pregnancy!
