so here I am 10 weeks +3 days with my
fourth pregnancy. Now first let me say
that I realize that everyone, myself
certainly included can get a little
paranoid this first trimester before you
get past the magic 12. But I really am
concerned about this...
Being my fourth baby in 6 years, my poor
tummy is toast. I'm pretty sure by my
second and third pregnancy that I was into
mat clothes shortly past 12 weeks.
When I found out I was pregnant (pretty
much as early as you can know) I started
with the usual symptoms i've experienced
with the other three--blah/yuck feeling
but no actual throwing up, gagging at
smells, etc. What was different was that
I was ravenous. Completely starving all
the time!! I'm never like that, but
seriously, less than an hour after a meal,
i'd be ready for another full one! I
figured it was all good. And so, after a
few weeks, I was lookin' a little poofy,
pants getting uncomfortable and I started
pulling out my next size up jeans. I
checked my weight and I was about a pound
heavier than I usually am, but I normally
fluctuate by a pound or two, so it's hard
to say if I actually gained from the
pregnancy/eating so much.
My concern is that....I'm not so poofy
now. My regular jeans are fitting fine
and the incredible hunger has pretty much
vanished. I don't feel nearly as blah as
I was those early weeks, but i'm still
gagging alot. I've not had any bleeding
or cramping and so my head tells me that
of course i'm still preggo (although I do
get tempted to pull out my other hpt).
I'm not so concerned that i've miscarried
unknowingly (although it is a paranoid
thought once in a while), but my main
concern is that this baby isn't growing as
he should.
Any thoughts as to what it all might mean?
