It's not typical to notice clothing
getting tighter that soon so you may be
experiencing water retention. Make sure
that you drink plenty of fresh water
through the day to keep your system
flushed.
If you are on checkouts, then try at least
once an hour to take a 5 min break to have
a short walk to help avoid fluids pooling
in your legs.
And no, there is nothing wwrong with not
having any spotting.
Implanation bleeding in not common and
*most* women don't have it, although I
think quite a few here have (i'll start a
poll).
I personally did not with my first
pregnancy, nor either of my non-viable
pregnancies. I did have an implantation
bleed with 0liver though.

You're concerned that you haven't had any
bleeding? You're not supposed to. It
happens sometimes and it's usually nothing
but most people don't have any spotting
when they're pregnant.

R thank you for that it's just that i've
read a few posts where people have said
there spotting and 'cause it's my first I
thought it was supposed to happen.
Another question (sorry!) is it ok for me
and my fiance to make love at this early
stage? Is there a time when it would be
unsafe for the baby?
Thanks again.

It's fine to continue having sex as normal
during pregnancy.
Just listen to your body. If it hurts or
says no in any other way then stop.
If you have any medical conditions that
might cuase problems then obviously you
will need to listen to your doctor or
midwifes advice.
But in general for most people they just
go on as they would anyway.
The cervix develops a thick mucus plug
that stops any sperm passing into the
uterus.
Don't douche or anything like that,
though.
