Slightly confused about this...

[Toniixo]

Ive always been very slim (size 10, flat tummy/bum) untill recently. Ive worked out my EDD to be Sept 20th ish, but now Im really not so sure.

Im only 7 weeks gone and yet compared to how I was before i m much bigger!!!
Could it possibly be that Im further along then I thought. My last 'period' was mid December, but only lasted 1 day and was really much ligheter then usual. Im wondering if this may of been spotting, and not a period....
I intened to ask midwife on Thursday (my first appointment). But would like other people's thoughts too...

Opinions please??

oooh, could be. i dont know too much about it however didnt wanna read and run! ask your MW! xx

what i would say is that a lot of the early 'weight' or 'bump' is purely bloating, i found that when i was 8/9 weeks my tummy was huge but then a week or two later it settled down again and then i started to put on a proper bump... it may be bloat/water retention at the mo x

like the girls have said, it could be bloating or you could be further along, if it was a lot lot lighter than normal and didnt last as long, it could have been implantation! i would deffiantly mention it to your midwife, but your dating scan is really the only way to find out! good luck though x

Hiya

I agree with the girls, I would ask you midwife, but the dating scan will give you answers. I think you may be right with your dates, I think it does tend to be bloating/ water. I'm also a size 10 and normally have a flat stomach but since finding out I'm pregnant I look massive! My waist normally measures 26 inches it is now at 32 inches already and I'm only at 6 weeks!

I was pregnant at end of last year but sadly m/c , I thought the same as you then surely I cant be this big already I thought maybe id put loads of weight on with not going to the gym or my dates were wrong. The day after my m/c my stomach went back flat and I was back at my normal weight so it was all water!
This time I'm just putting it down to my body getting ready for this little one and not trying to stress I will hit the gym sometime in 2012 lol
I hope this helps x x

Hi

I was exactly the same as you, had a normal period and then a small bleed....went to my booking in appt last week and they sent me for a scan straight away to date, as I could have been 10 or 12 and they didnt want me going to far over 12 without a scan.

Anyway went for my scan on Monday and I am 10 weeks, they put me forward 2 days.....I would definately mention to your MW and they should get you in asap like mine did.

Only downside is I now have to wait longer for 20 week scan....but seeing bubba was just AMAZING

Good luck, keep us posted xxx
