Welcome to Week 9!

yuliyaks

Yep, feeling exactly the same. I haven't had much symptoms, just sore boobs, so it's hard to believe that there is actually an olive-sized baby there.

I am about 9.5 wks and just now am I getting nausea attacks. I found that if you are inside all day and get a wave of nausea, step outside for fresh air. It helps a lot within minutes. I am also more nauseas when I smell food cooking, especially meats. : Its an awful feeling, but I havent thrown up yet. Ive lost about 7 lbs, mostly due to eating right or not enough.

 I think I'm showing, but I mostly look bloated..lol. I'm just hoping for a smooth pregnancy!

Ok, so, this is my first post I read in The Baby Bump book that I just got (from the makers of this site) that when you reach your eight week, it's actully the END of your eight week and you've entered your ninth week. Or something.  lol All I know is that this nausea is killing me! I can barely eat or drink, and the things that I can make myself eat are not what I intended to eat at all! I planned on doing the healthy organic thing, but I can barely stomach vegetables at all right now The headaches have mostly stopped, but I can't get more than a few hours of sleep at a time without having to pee. The dreams I've had are completely unreal, so lifelike and bizarre! And I get so mad about some things I just want to cry! What an adventure this has been already. Seeing that little bean on ultrasound has been one of the greatest moments of my life. Little heart flickering...it's all totally worth it!

kvansnakcutie: I know how you feel...for the most part, I have felt great! (knock on wood) I'm 9 weeks and 3 days as well.  I have extremely sore boobs and they have grown a lot!  But I too forget once in awhile too....  I haven't been sick at all and just a few minor cramps from my uterus growing...so I don't know what to tell you, but you aren't the only one.

I totally get your 'forgot you're pregnant'. Other than being a little light-headed & bigger boobs, I've had no other symptoms. Friends that know have repeatedly told me, 'You need to slow down, you're pregnant.' 

arimarquez5

I completely agree wih you Kvasnakcutie!  I dont feel pregnant at all. Im not nauseus which is a good thing but it still feels unreal. The only symptoms I have are being tired and sometimes sore boobs. I cant wait to see the bump so that it becomes real.

CostumeQueen

Absolutely feeling the same way, no morning sickness, boobs aren't that sore anymore and all I have to go off of is the ultrasound I had the other day where they confirmed that there is indeed a baby in there. Couldn't hear heartbeat yet (maybe how my uterus is positioned) and could barely see anything on the monitor. I have to take progesterone suppositories and they are so horrible that they are all I am experiencing. Can't wait til I'm done with those in five more days. Maybe then I will actually start to "feel" pregnant...

I'm 9 weeks and 4 days, i feel better knowing I'm not the only one who feels like they are showing. I was wondering if maybe I am further along than we originally thought. I'm a little nervous about the Dr appt. We have been trying for 3 years to get pregnant, and I'm scared I'll get to the Dr and somthing will be wrong.

PS...I'm also having the itchy belly issues

sissy2424

Stay positive Hun, I know the feeling I haven't been trying as long as you but we haven't had the best of luck! But here I am today 9wks 5days and the Dr. says the baby is doing Great! I feel very pregnant I hate wearing jeans, and a bra. Haha I know sounds crazy but I just want to wear yoga pants all day. Nothing is comfy and Im not showing too much I just have a little bump! Its very exciting but I know how you feel good luck! 

emmalo

Consensus is you can tell at 12 weeks, so a little before the end of the first trimester.  But in the end, whatever makes you comfortable!

ericanddeborah

I am 9 weeks 4 days, and I can no longer comfortably button my jeans, yet I have lost 3.5 pounds. I am so tired of being sick with no energy at all. I pray for the next few weeks to fly by to get me out of the first trimester!!

Blessing2me

9 Weeks and I only found out 3 days ago! Aye! Went to the doctor thinking that the hubby had mono and that my exhaustion was my sign that I caught it from him.  He ended up just having an ear infection, and I was pregnant! Too crazy! Thought I had been pregnant a couple months ago so I had prenatal vitamins, but when I wasn't, I kept taking them anyway because of the fast growing hair and nails haha! So that worked out! Only symptom so far is exhaustion... feeling pretty blessed for just that!!

Boobs definitely getting bigger... kind of seeing a belly (but maybe it's all in my head). Take care of yourselves ladies!

teemo143

I feel the same way! 

I want to be excited but I am Nervous to be until after 12 week appt! 

mjmarovi

I am showing good now it seems.  I am having twins which seems to give me a little more of a bump at 9 weeks and 4 days!  The morning or all day sickness is so intense I had to go on medication in order to keep food down.  I had gained three lbs and then lose 2.5lbs.  Can't wait for the sickness to be over.

KristinandersonNormington

I have the belly bands and love them. However.... I'm finding that some of my pants (ones with zero stretch) are uncomfortable at the end of the day! I was not prepared to start showing so soon. I love it but am now between clothes. 

Jennifer Gallo

I am 9 weeks and showing too - I work out every day... so i am surprised too- but kind of excited!  enjoy

Jennifer Gallo

I feel the same exact way.  I too am 9 weeks and 3 days... don't have any symptoms really except sore boobs but don't really notice that until the end of the day when I take off my bra.  I have no morning sickness - feel like a million bucks... ok maybe my patnts are a little snug.  Enjoy I hear some women get super sick! 

chineymachine

So glad to reach week nine! I have had two miscarriages last year and this is the farthest that I have got and I just have a feeling that this is it! I can't wait to see it grow bigger each week!

 

isabella316

jessivogel

I am really hoping to get some feed back on this but I am 9 weeks as of today and I am having the worst time trying to sleep, I cant seem to nap during the day and I toss and turn all night not to mention having to pee at least 3 times in the middle of the night and I've tried extra pillows and one between my knees but I just cant seem to sleep but I am SO TIRED!! all I want to do is sleep and I cant seem to get there. advice anyone?

dzignjulz

I am in a similar boat... just over 9 weeks now with my first and I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night! I will be so tired but for some reason just can't shut down. When I am able to sleep, I am waking up at least once to go to the bathroom- I never did that before I got pregnant! I also will occasionally wake up hungry, even if I ate a big meal in the evening. I work full-time so I don't really have an opportunity to nap. Sometimes I fall asleep after work though, and maybe it hurts my chances of sleeping that night, but sometimes that's all I can get so I'll take it!

abudovich

I'm 9 weeks and 5 days.  I feel like this too. I haven't had any morning sickness and I'm not showing yet.  I do have sore boobs and I'm very tired... and I'm peeing all the time.

Shawzie916

When I came off my bc I had one period that went 42 days before it showed up. I've also read about pregnancies that your body will hide because of the stress. You will actually be pregnant but at home tests will not show positive only a blood test at your doctor can. Hopefully it's not a chemical pregnancy and your doctor has good news for you.

AlexisDianeMulkeyKessler

I'm so incredibly sick all the time. I'm like a puking machine since about the 6th week. I'm 9 1/2 weeks now. I am showing too :-(. I didn't want to tell anyone other than the people I've told until the end of the first trimester but now I'm headed to a family wedding and everyone will clearly see. They all came to my wedding 2 months ago and I was super fit and skinny. Now I look like 4 twigs with a wad of chewing gum holding them together... I'm so bloated and gassy. My face has totally broken out like I'm a teenager with acne (which I've never had). This first trimester is for the birds. I feel like I have every symptom possible.... I feel horrible most days and fat and bloated... I sleep all the time. How do I keep this a secret tomorrow from the people that don't know yet???

Hi, I am 9 weeks 4 days pregnant and am So nervous. I had a miscarriage in march of this year. I just saw the baby on Monday and the heart beat was good and strong and it was moving around ( so cute) but at about 8 1/2 weeks I started loosing breast tenderness which has made me crazy cause I didn't really have any other symptoms. I had morning sickness once at about 7 weeks. I keep telling myself not to worry and feel lucky that I don't have all these horrible symptoms but I just can't help being nervous... I don't go back to the doctor till July 31st. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this??

 

Thanks 

axelkayjoe

Yes! I just started feeling this way this week, I am 9 weeks, 4 days.  I had very stong symptoms up until this week, then all of a sudden I woke up the other day and felt totally fine.  As if Im not pregnant.  I am hoping its just normal and maybe we are just lucky that we are not feeling like crap! It feels much better that someone is feeling the same tho! Good Luck!

axelkayjoe

So weird! I am also 9 weeks 4 days and also had a miscarriage in March.  I just started feeling the same way.  Had a lot of nausea and cramping up until this week, then was suddenly gone (except my boobs and peeing as well). It feels very strange as tho im not pregnant anymore, so obviously I worry. I don't go in for my first ultrasound until next wed, so have been very anxious! Just wanted to let you know I feel your pain, and you are not alone! I think the best thing we can do is stay positive and be patient! Good Luck!

kmpawley

Hi everyone,  I'm new to the Bump.  I am 9 weeks and due on March 23rd. My husband and I are super excited.  We ttc for over 2 years.  So far everything is great.  I have been really tired and just started feeling sick.  I think its strange that I am already starting to get a bump. Does anyone know if the belly bands work?

svgrider

I'm 9 weeks tomorrow. Ive been itchy as well. Constipated like no other. Nausea all day haven't thrown up since last Tuesday which is awesome on reglan  and zofran but have to mak sure to eat. I never feel completely okay I feel crappy all day and if I wait to eat I almost puke. Anyone else? Also cant tell if I'm bloated or showing but none of my pants fit so wearing a belly band. Also coughing here and there, sore nipples, tired and headaches. Went for my 8 week check up last week told me I had to wait till 12 weeks to hear the heartbeat. Ugh it's killing me. I'm 23 and this is my first. 

ValerieDarden

This itching is happening to me too! Is it like a rash?

devonrose4

I'm 9 weeks pregnant today and although I am a little on the thicker side to begin with I absolutely see my body changing.  I went to the store to buy a pair of Maternity Jeans yesterday simply because I can not deal with anything tight around my waist.  I give this the credit of the bloating! Aside from the sore boobies and having that always full feeling . . . I feel amazing.  I am one of those people who can honestly say that I am blessed to not have any nausea.  I am actually eating like a little piggy :-)

 

Can anyone fill me in on how to really use the blog and message boards.  I am unimpressed with the site navigation.  It is very easy to look around a million places BUT I can not figure out how to post new messages or how to add friends in my area.  Well, if someone can let me know that would be awesome.  You can also contact me on my personal email devon.pucciarello@gmail.com. 

harleychick396

Hi in having some light brown discharge that started this morning, is this normal? Just a little cramping but feels more like period cramps.

beccann23

Hi! I am 9 weeks today. And I have to say my symptoms came very early. My boobs were sore very early on and are done growing for the time being. The headaches have also come and gone. My pants are getting snug, but nothing I can't live with for another week or so. I still have occasional morning sickness if I don't eat often enough, but nothing major. Some women have yet to have any of these symptoms, is it really truly just that "every woman and every pregnancy is different?" Thanks! Only 31 weeks left to go!

 

beckyhahn

me too, well not in the best shape, but i def have more of a bump than i did 9 weeks ago! I wonder if it's just bloatedness? My stomach feels hard, though.

Boo09

Hey! Congrats to you too!  I feel the EXACT same way, feel guilty sometimes b/c i forget that I'm actually pregnant.  I am feeling more and more tired now though, especially by the end of day.  Also, my stomach is more bloated, sticking out a bit more than usual.  My next OB exam is 12/20, when is yours?

sarahgarvis

I feel the same way. I keep saying to my husband that I hope there is a baby in there. Next week is my first appt. so am hoping I get to hear the heartbeat. That will make it "real" to me:

mapes8187

im glad that I'm not crazy! I am 9 weeks 2 days and I'm showing.  I thought it was too early but it makes me feel better others are too.  I got the Bella band  and its helped a lot, since my pants won't button anymore.  No one has noticed I'm pregnant yet( I'm surprised since I get sick about three times a day if not more) but. Think t hey will notice soon:)

Brittani2286

9 weeks, first pregnancy... SO SICK! They've given me Zofran phenegran with no relief. I've lost 13 lbs within the last 3 weeks... I've tried absolutely everything. I can't even keep a sip of water down, my husband has been a trooper but he just does not understand ofcourse. Is there any truth to relief in the second trimester? I am miserable. :
