My bloat has gone away, but I don't have a baby bump either. I just look a little chubby at most.
I know mine is partial bloat as it gets worse throughout the day and for sure after meals. This is definitely the most bloated pregnancy so far. I'm really thin and I just had a baby 15 months ago so I guess that's why. I just having a hard time hiding it. I guess people would just think I was gaining weight. Lol
I've lost almost 10 lbs too! Everything makes me nauseous, and the smells are the worst! I have to hide myself in my room while dh has his dinner, because I just can't stand the smell. My poor kids have been getting non stop takeout because mommy can't cook without gagging. I remember with my 3rd boy, I had the same issues. I ended up losing 15lbs at the beginning of my pregnancy... gained it all back and then some later, though, so it wasn't an issue. I'm pretty sure it's plenty safe at this point to lose some weight, especially if you can stand to lose a bit anyway. (I know I can!)
I've also totally got a baby bump. Granted, I'm a bit "fluffy" in the stomach area anyway after my two losses last year which I never lost the pregnancy weight from. But I'm pretty sure I couldn't hide it from anyone I know well. Luckily, I work at home and my kids are oblivious. Lol! I'm thinking if we have family over for Easter, I'm going to have no choice but to spill the beans then. Wearing really baggy clothes in the meantime. ;)
We're spilling the beans on Easter too! Sorry you're so nauseous too! What kind of work do you do from home? I'm a realtor so I work from home too (mostly).
Eek! Just heard bean's hb on doppler for the first time! So much relief!!

My monitor read in the 130s... don't know that I'd agree though. Not really a believer. Both my boys had really high heart rates, well into "girl" territory.Quote:

That is great two! I have never had the doppler used on me before 13 weeks as they always say it is hard to pick up and more stressful if you can't find it. If I had one though I would be giving it a try but not expecting to find it.
I've been hunting since close to 8 weeks, knowing it'd show eventually but hoping sooner than later to calm my fears. Thought we heard movement a few days ago but no hb. Today we finally caught it... a few times but only seconds at a time. Lord knows the spot I found bean is nice and sore though from digging in deep lol.Quote:

Thank you girliedreamz, you just summed up the last 6 weeks for me perfectly!! I too have been neglecting any cooking and grocery shopping for that matter because just the sight and smell of it makes me feel so ill. Especially garlic. I gag so much when I smell garlic. We are in the middle of buying a house and I almost passed out at the inspection because I didn't eat enough dinner or breakfast. I hide in the bedroom too at dinner time!! I'm so glad I'm not alone. :) I definitely have 10-15lbs to lose so I'm not worried about me, just little bean. I gave in yesterday and called my doctor asking for Zoran. I got my script last night and I was a new pregnant woman today. I could make lunch, do laundry, grocery shop. It wore off around 3:30pm and I felt quite nauseous again but it was great while it lasted. It didn't give me my appetite back but I was able to move and function more. TMI but I hesitate to take it daily because last pregnancy it gave me severe constipation. You can never really win when it comes to MS I've learned...ha! ;)
Laurenk1424, the HR OWT was true for my previous two pregnancies and all of my sister's 4 pregnancies. She could guess what they were before her scan because of the HR and she was right all 4 times (lucky gal that she is, she has GBGB and used Shettles method with each of them!). I kept it in mind with both of my pregnancies and it was true for me too. Once my babies dropped below 140 I knew they were boys. I know it hasn't been true for everyone but I've heard of many it has been for. ;) I do think you have to wait until your at least 10-12 weeks along though, mine were always closer to 15-20 weeks and their HR never climbed above 140, not even in labor!
