feeling it already?
I'm 3 to 5 weeks pregnant, and I already feel a lump low in my pelvis
when I sit in certain positions. (It's not a lump I feel with my hand, but a sensation that I have a tennis ball in me.) Can this really be happening? With my first pregnancy I didn't even know I was pregnant yet; I don't remember when I first started feeling _full_ there, but it wasn't this early. I'm pregnant with quadruplets, aren't I... |

When I was 3 weeks LMP my baby hadn't even implanted yet ;-) I know early on - long before I showed - I found it uncomfortable to sit on my motor scooter, so there was definitely a sense of something in there many weeks before I felt kicks. Statistically, it's very unlikely you're pregnant with quads unless you've been undergoing IVF - and even then it's unlikely ;-) If it was twins or triplets the a better indicator early on would be extreme morning sickness, and a better indicator still would be an unusually high blood hCG or an ultrasound. -- Amy Mum to Carlos born sleeping 20/11/02, & Ana born screaming 30/06/04 http://www.freewebs.com/carlos2002/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/ana%5Fj%5F2004/ My blog: http://spaces.msn.com/members/querer-hijo-querer-hija/ |

The moment that conception occurs and the embryo implants and starts pumping
out HCG and your body starts pumping progesterone, your bowels and digestive system slow down considerably. You digest your food slower, and your bowels move slower, all to retain as much of the nutrient value of the food you are eating, in order to help your body feed the pregnancy. Usually when people show very quickly, or feel full in those first few weeks of the first trimester, it isn't the baby or even the uterus, it's the bowels. So, basically, you're full of ****. : ) -- Jamie Earth Angels: Taylor Marlys, 1/3/03 -- Little Miss Chatty, whose favorite sayings are "What's going on in here" and "I've gotta get out of here!

Quints. Sextuplets. Oh lord... Actually, I don't have morning sickness at all, and the levels in the blood test were low. So it must just be one freakisly large baby. That's the only possible answer. |

I was like you when I first fell pregnant and thought I was 3 months as I was showing at 8 wks (as told by scan) then I asked the scan woman why I was showing at 8 wks and I could have sworn to have felt movement and just like Jamie said I was just full of **** and wind. I am now 14 wks and am pretty confident that I am now showing as all my friends are now commenting on the "bump" and I swear I feel the odd flutter here and there but that could just be weired feeling wind. What was funny was my hubby also swore he felt the baby kicking at 8 wks when infact all he was feeling and saying aww to was my farts. (laughing as I type) April and BabyStrongBow I have been quit for 1 Month, 2 Weeks, 6 Days, 18 hours, 3 minutes and 55 seconds (51 days). I have saved £248.41 by not smoking 1,035 cigarettes.

Well, according to your LMP you are almost 6wks, but according to ovulation you are 5wks, which fits better with your HCG results. Here's a pregnancy date calculator so you can look at different scenarios: http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/923526833.html Even if you had multiple embryos, you wouldn't feel the size difference yet (they're quite tiny). The size of the baby won't matter yet either. Fact is, what you're likely feeling is bloating and constipation. Isn't it fun? Welcome to the club! Amy V. EDD 11/25/05 |

With my second pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant 4 days before my period was
due, way before I knew with my first one. I had a "fullness" feeling as well. I think with the 2nd baby we are maybe just more aware... "Anonymama" wrote in message ...

hi
I know how you feel!! I myself am of 7weeks along and already it knows daddy, the smell of foods, and how to make me sick and go running to the restroom. I hope that the sickness stops soon I can't take much more. Oh back to subject, At only two months I'm showing and you can tell what side of me the baby is on!!! Just think what both you and me are going to look like by christmas. But just stay with it, it slowly gets better. I've gone from being sick all day every day to being sick only in the morning and late at night and even that's getting better. Best of Luck Julie mom-to-be |
