You guys....I compared bump pics from where I'm at now to where I was in my 1st pregnancy. I always knew that you get bigger quicker in 2nd or consecutive pregnancies...but at 12 weeks I'm as big now as I was at 21 weeks with my first pregnancy based on side by side pictures. 😳
I haven't done bump pictures for this pregnancy or my last, but I definitely feel like I'm going to need maternity clothes sooner this time around than last!
My sister reminded me of the hair tie pants trick last week, so I'm using that to bridge the gap for now.
@marebear15 I feel the same in the evenings! The bloat is real. I think my digestion has slowed way down and at night I feel full for hours and swear I look 6 months pregnant. I don’t remember this at all with my daughter.
I’ll be 9 weeks tomorrow and I was able to get out of the bed today and drink some vitamin water. I’m PRAYING the morning sickness is letting up. I dry heaved a little this morning but after that I’ve been mostly okay. FX guys. My heart goes out to those with HG because just the nonstop intense nausea was driving me crazy. I can’t even imagine anything worse.
Does anyone else just suddenly feel...not pregnant? My nausea let up quite drastically a few days ago and I haven’t been as exhausted, and it’s freaking me out! I guess I just expected it to taper off rather than me being couch bound all the time and totally fine the next day. 11 weeks tomorrow so hoping this is just the end of first trimester misery and nothing else.
@valerie4786 I hear you! I looked back at my notes with DD and at 21 weeks I was considering getting maternity pants since my pants were “starting to feel tight” meanwhile this time I put maternity pants on right at 9 weeks and my bloat is insane
I had heartburn this morning. I feel like my neusea has decided to make one last hurrah in these last couple of weeks too. It's been bad most days and I dry heaved at 2am two nights ago. That was fun... not :P I'm counting down the days until trimester 2 starts so I can start feeling better like everyone has told me I should :P
2nd on the lower back ache. My sleep is really starting to suffer because of it and it's just there in the background throughout the day. I feel so uncomfortable. I'm terrified how it's going to feel when there's actually a big bump in the front! Ah, the magic of pregnancy 😝

@Mslan I hope the nausea let’s up soon!
@mrsbuddd could just be the end of the first trimester approaching

Lately, my lower back is killing me. It aches like crazy and my boobs are super tender. I'm also joining the heartburn club.
