Hello everyone:

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?
