Just wondering what sort of changes you all have noticed in your body at this point, and have any of you gained any weight yet?

I have gained almost five pounds, but in my defence I was on a diet at the time I found out I was pregnant, so went from eating the Atkins way to introducing carbs (and junk food lol!) back in so I'm sure that has lots to do with it.

I feel like my stomach is definitely fuller, I used to be able to suck it in almost flat (I'm a big girl to start with) but now when I suck it in there is still a bump there! But it is lower than I would think a baby bump would be.

My skin is HORRIBLE! My back looks like a Mars lunar landscape! And my face isn't much better. Awful.

My breasts have changed alot, they are bigger and fuller, and also they have kind of firmed up under the nipple on one side, the side towards the middle of my chest. It feels really weird and is freaking me out! Anyone else have this or is it a cause for alarm? It is almost like when my nipples are erect, the one side closest to the middle isn't as fully erect (the areola, not the nipple itself) as the other side, but is firmer and kind of smooth and raised. Sorry for all the info, I know it's weird. I'll ask the midwife about it when I have my appointment at the end of the month. I think that there is a milk gland or something right there, so maybe it is just extra blood flow under there. And they always seem to be really warm lol!

Well I guess that's about it, other than feeling like crap all the time, being super tired and having to get up to pee every couple of hours at night lol!

ive been bloated from 6 weeks on and have zits like a 12 year old kid!

Hi,
I have gone from a D cup to an E cup- very sore though!! My belly looks like i'm about 6 months pregnant. My GP say's it is to do with Progesterone and holding onto water. As the baby gets bigger- the space gets filled (I hope otherwise I will be the size of a house)
I am 6ft tall and very sporty (but with curves) I have gone from a uk size 10-12 to 14+ And I am only 8 wks tomorrow.
I have given up my gruelling exercise regieme for now, as you did with your diet.Which may have increased my size.
We go on holiday next week and I will be so embarressed if someone asks how far gone I am. - actually I better check does the bikini still fit!!

So yes I think it is normal to change! I am just trying to relax and enjoy the only time in my life where I will be celebrating my lumos and bumps!!!

My cramps still haven't stopped and my boobs are sooooo sore! Although I haven't been sick, the nausea is driving me to distraction! I make a meal I'm really looking forward to, then can't eat it! Torture.No bumps yet for me (although I'm still really early). The worst bit?............Wine! I need a large glass of cold dry white - now!!!!

Everything you've described sounds classic

You sound like you're lucky enough to not suffer too much with sickness, lucky you !! I've lost weight... but my appetite has come back with a vengeance today, and 9 cheese scones later ( I know !! oink ), I think I'll be gaining it back, and more, pretty quickly.

Baby bump does tend to start right low down, as the baby pops out of your pelvis first. I had a huge 'bump' a couple of weeks ago, I even posted them on here, showing off..... and now its disappeared. That's how much water retention can affect you !!!
I'm not sure about your boobs though. They do go through some mega changes in the first few months. Shape, colour (nipples), size, veins... and one thing I always notice is that the little bumps (montgomery tubercles) on mine always get a bit sore, which baffled my midwife last time, and has again.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, and welcome to Baby & Bump

....just realised you've been here longer than me Welcome to the first trimester

I've gone up a cup size and I'm bloated. My tummy is not totally flat as I've had a baby already but its definately changed already. That said I've lost 3lbs!

I haven't gain any weight because I can barely eat from all the sickness but my bump is growing and my stomac is rounding up,my breast are bigger and that's pretty much it...

conditiontour,you changed your icon to your baby scan!It's so cute!

cheese cones actually sounds apetizing...maybe my apetite is coming back!
*falls to her knees and thanks the Lord*

Looks like I'm gonna have to get baking again, and then start a distribution business !!!!!!!

I can see it now.....'Momma's Buns'.......cheesy scones direct to your door.....Mmmmmm......Do you take Paypal????
