I know it's normal for bumps to fluctuate but mine is crazy.. yesterday I felt huge and was uncomfortable all day, hubby even commented and I just felt like my bump had finally 'popped' .. this morning I swear you wouldn't guess I was 4 months pregnant! Its bizarre. My only symptoms are bad acne on my face/back. And I'm getting restless legs and sleeping badly. Trying to enjoy it but theres always worry! I'll be so much happier once I feel baby move

It’s probably the way baby is lying! My skin is SO bad too, it’s really knocking my confidence at the moment. Hoping the hormones chill out soon and the glowing commences haha. I have an anterior placenta again so don’t think I’ll be feeling much for a while yet! X

This is reassuring thank you. Think yesterday I was quite bloated too, I was uncomfortable all day. I also have anterior placenta, I keep thinking I'm feeling stuff but could easily just be wind. I'm hoping I feel something definite before my scan at 20 weeks otherwise I'll be even more terrified!

Edit: I had severe acne as a teenager and it was horrific. Mine are concentrated round my chin and jawline and also my hairline. I currently have a lovely cluster of about 5 or 6 in close proximity on my chin. The bonus of being in isolation is no make up making it worse. My advise is dont squeeze them as much as you want to. It leaves scars! X

@WinterWolf, as long as you aren't getting multiple tightenings within an hour (I need to brush up but I think maybe 4 or more?) you should be fine.

 

[Xsarahh]

I’m pretty sure it’s how the baby is lying too. And different clothes make me look bigger and smaller.

I want to find out where my placenta is. I thought it might be anterior again but I’ve been feeling lots of movements for a while now.

I spoke too soon - we have movement! I was sitting on the sofa and could feel mild rolling in my tummy, popped my hands on there with some mild pressure and can feel baby rippling around. I’m so happy!!! 16 weeks tomorrow, although I 100% wouldn’t have noticed this early if I didn’t already know what movements felt like!

 

[Natalie8964]

@kj1 aww that's amazing! How wonderful. I'm so excited for this.. here is my bump this morning featuring Holly the cat. I find this photo so funny. When I wake up first thing this is what my belly is like and I love it because as soon as I get up it disappears! I also put my hand on there with some pressure and theres a possibility I've felt something move but I still can't be sure. But they were on the opposite side of my belly button yesterday morning so they must be moving around in there

The cats face!!

Aww! Cute bump and adorable cat! I’d love a cat but we have two 1930s arm chairs that I just got reupholstered and the thought of cat nails on them makes me queasy, lol.

 

[MammaOfMany]

So cute!

 

[MrsLG]

Cute!

How you start to feel properly better soon PinkFlamingo!

I felt huge yesterday Natalie8964 and today I feel much smaller - it’s amazing how bump size can change!

Yes, and how pregnant you feel! Some days I’m so aware of it and others I could genuinely forget! Pregnancy is weird.

Agreed! I was making up my little boys bunk beds the other day and could realise why I was struggling until I looked down and remembered my ever growing bump

Either it's my age or that this is baby no.4 or it's corona with kids home but this time around I am so off my forum game, forgot about being on here and barely registered I'm in the second trimester

I'm the 31st but will likely be delivered 2-3 weeks before due to a previous uterine rupture and also will be a scheduled c-section.

I've added you to the front page for the 31st for now

 

[Natalie8964]

Ladies.. I'm pretty sure I felt baby move today. Just to the left of my belly button.. it was like a vibrating/rippling type of feeling. I put my hand there straight away and pressed a little and I'm sure I felt something!

 

[Xsarahh]

That’s exciting @Natalie8964 deffo feeling little one. The first movements I felt were around belly button level.

 

[WinterWolf]

Anyone having major baby brain? Today I put the milk in the oven after I made a cup of tea lol. I've done so many stupid things like that lately.

Also had a very realistic dream where I had to have a c-section in a tree house due to coronavirus haha.

My baby brain is something else. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up one morning and didn’t know who I was xx
