It's weird to be in the phase where I don't really *feel* very pregnant at the moment. Early second tri is kind of a mind trip. Like, I have a belly and I look pregnant, but my symptoms are minimal and I'm not feeling the baby yet outside of a couple of random times I might have felt something. I don't think I felt much last time around until close to my anatomy scan at 20 weeks. This is where I'm at - the nausea and even total exhaustion have relented a bit, so I feel mostly normal. I don't even have a real belly - it just looks like I've been hitting the ice cream too hard lately. I can't wait to start feeling movement just for things to feel a little more real - I think I started feeling DS around 18 weeks... so I've got probably a few more weeks to go.

Woke up to my first BH of this pregnancy. This is the same time (almost to the day) that they started with DS.

Today marks my last loss milestone! Seeing the baby this week and getting to find out heās healthy have made this actually feel a bit more real. I donāt really feel pregnant right now either, but Iāve stopped sucking in my stomach so I look a little more pregnant and a little less like Iāve been going all in on the carbs (which is also true).

expatmama11, I'm jealous! I keep looking at all the itty baby clothes when I'm out and want to buy it all, but since it's our second boy I really need to go through what we have. This baby will be complete opposite season as DS, so I'm sure some new clothes will be required but I still just need to go through the old so I can start shopping for the new - I love buying baby clothes!

So cute expatmama11! I can finally mark throwing up off my list of things I do while pregnant. I never throw up so it was quite the terrible surprise when it happened. Hopefully that was my first and last time. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends. I am so ready for delicious grilled steak and potatoes later Iām already drooling!

I'm jealous of you ladies who aren't quite in maternity clothes or just getting into them. I feel like my body gave up pretty quickly this time around and I've been in them for weeks.

I go here! I just started sorting through Bās old clothes a couple of days ago. There are definitely things that wonāt work, but since we live in a state with a different climate now I think I can make more work than I originally thought. Woot! I have been getting super emotional going through everything. Itās feeling more real and Iām so thankful.

emilypk so funny! I took my clothes out this weekend and same thing! All bootcut and not even cute bootcut.. I was pregnant in 2013 last so definitely need some new pants to update the wardrobe. I already bought a few pairs this weekend. Scored a pair of capris and work pants for $5 and $10 at Kohls. Also my work role has changed since then and I dress more professionally now so I'll need additional clothes for that reason.

Iāve been in maternity clothes for weeks š Iām huge this pregnancy so far š¬ Same. I had to break out the stretchy pants at like 10 weeks! Excited that I have more of a belly now so I don't just look chubby (although I'm a curvy girl to begin with, so people are still cautious and not assuming unless I'm wearing super obvious maternity stuff).

I feel like maternity fashion runs behind regular fashion. And I'm not even remotely fashionable. I just want plain shorts/Jeans and tshirts/tanks. Last pregnancy I pulled out my bootleg corduroy pants from 2012/13 and was like hmmm I don't even remember these being cool!

I was in them starting at 5 weeks! I was on progesterone which made me extra bloaty! I was also in them very early. I guess pregnancy #4 and my body just expanded the second the pee stick dried. I am having a tough time hiding it because I feel so bloated and big, but we don't want to make this super public for another 3 weeks.

My life really sucks sometimes. Got a fecal impact, and had to go to the ER today to swig some mag citrate and get a milk & molasses enema. FML. But, TMI - finally pooped, and feel SO MUCH BETTER. Plus, the molasses makes it come out so much easier then a normal enema (in case you ever need one). Hoping I can keep the pooping more normalized now.
In other news, baby is doing great, and Iām in second tri FINALLY. it seems to take forever when you find out your pregnant at 4wks. ššš

I really did not feel pregnant until about 2 days ago. Suddenly I feel very pregnant. I finally dug out my one pair of decent maternity jeans from storage and put them on today. Felt so good not to be stuffing myself into regular pants!
