10wk and 5 days preggo and not showing

in Pregnant after a Loss
so this is technically my fourth pregnancy (1 boy and then 2 m/c's) and I feel like I was showing for a while and now I shrunk down and am no longer? I was bloated and gassy (sorry tmi I know) so I'm trying to cool my jets and think that could be why? Anyone hardly show after being pregnant before this far along?  I will say I'm a tad freaked out cause my first m/c was a missed one and I stopped showing around this time :( BUT we never heard a heart with the last two miscarriages and this one we saw a strong heartbeat at 7 weeks along so not long ago. Gah...pregnancy after loss can be so so hard :(

    *hugs*  I'm 11w2d today and I had my freakout last wednesday when I awoke to 0 symptoms and my pants miraculously fit again without a button extender.  That being said, I rushed to the doc where a quick doppler eased my worries.  Unfortunately, MS and bloating are back with a vengeance so I should have tried to appreciate it more.  FX it's nothing serious.  Good luck!

    anna.oskar omg you just made me feel LOADS better! Thank you! I freaked out Friday and was just a hot sobbing mess to my husband (even he said he noticed I've shrunk a bit). But I really think it could be I was so freaking bloated and that's why I was 'showing'. But no brown discharge with blood like I had with my missed miscarriage around this time! So I can only assume all is ok and it was stupid bloat? I have an apt this week thank god

    I think it's probably just your bloat going away. This is my 6th pregnancy (2 losses, 2 healthy boys, another loss and now this little one). I wasn't actually showing besides the bloat until like 14-15 weeks. You'll pop soon!! Hang in there.

    As other pp already have said it's common to have gas and bloating early on that comes and goes. This is my fifth pregnancy (1 boy, 3 losses and now this one). And I don't think I showed much before 14-15w either. Just hang in there, the baby-bump will appear soon! Wish you all the best

    Thankfully, I had already read that many women look less pregnant as they approach the second trimester because bloating starts going away. Otherwise I would have been worried when it happened to me. It's perfectly normal, so no need to take it as a bad sign!

    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

    The uterus is still really low at this point in pregnancy, even if you have had previous pregnancies. I definitely lost bloat towards the end of the first trimester and felt like I slimmed down for a minute. And I didn't *look* like I was showing to anyone except myself until about 16 weeks. It wasn't until 23ish weeks that friends started noticing and now that I am almost 27 weeks strangers and people who didn't know are finally just asking. I always used to look at the graphs that showed where the uterus should be and felt better when I realized they are still really low in the pelvis til around 12 weeks or so.
