Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can help me too.....We have been TTC for the last month. At the start of this week I was waking up feeling very sick and as for coffee, well I couldn't stand the smell of it and normally I can't cope without a cuppa in the morning. I have also been suffering with really bad headaches and the urge to sleep in the afternoons.....this lasted for 4 days. After that I then started to feel very bloated, I wake up in the mornings feeling bloated and it continues through the day, but by bed time my stomach is quite large......its too early to do a test yet as I am not due on until a week on tuesday. I didn't think you could get symptoms as early as a couple of weeks, but according to some sites on the net, some react to hormone changes as early as 3 days. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I can't help but think that I am showing symptoms of early pregnancy? Can anybody help me?

Yeah like everyone has said it is normal and I have had it with all mine. It is constipation, water retention and general sluggishness in your bidy as they hormones flush your system!!

I am the same. I have been wearing my mat jeans for a week now as I can't get all my clothes on!!! I am a fitness fanatic too and I have had to cut down my running so I am feeling bloated anyway!!! My manager at work has made me order mat clothes as my work trousers are too tight too!!!! Roll on a proper bump!!!

I'm in early term trousers and only 5 and a bit weeks (although I've lost 3lb this week due to nausea) - the option was to buy trousers in a bigger size that I could wear for a few weeks or to get some comfy early term ones that I could wear for longer. Plus, it was more fun finally being able to try on maternity stuff! I can't wait until I actually have a bump and don't just look bloated!

LOL I thought it was just me! I have a bump because I am BLOATED. My DH thinks I am nuts because I am saying I am big and he can't figure out why. Good to know it goes down and then turns into a real bump. I am a small person so this bump is obvious and since I am trying to hide this pregnancy until 12 weeks when I tell work and everyone it's making it hard ha ha ha
