Hehe.
I almost did that to a lady that exclaimed, "you look like you're
about ready to pop!" when I was 32 weeks.

Isn't that tempting (when other times we wish people would notice and not
raise a brow thinking we are quite thick these days).. The other day at work
someone whispered that they didn't know I was pregnant. I was totally
tempted to whisper back "I'm not." Followed by a just kidding! of course.
But that's mean. Sort of.

Back a few months ago, someone *did* mistake me for pregnant, which was
doubly distressing because not only had I not gained weight, but we *were*
trying and had not yet succeeded. (The consensus from from friends was that
the clothes she had seen me in, i.e., running tights and a baggy tshirt,
were not the most flattering, and I do sort of have some extra tummy skin
from a weight *loss* that I have maintained...).
In any case, we did succeed the following month and are now just over 10
weeks :)
So I'm sitting in anticipation of it becoming obvious and I can't wait until
someone notices :)

Oh, Congratulations, then!!!

I have a few really cute wrap shirts that are nonmaternity and I wore them
in the spring. Then, I wondered if they made me look pregnant or because
they were wrap style people would think I was. When I did squeeze into one
early in my pregnancy, my hubby made the comment about how obvious I was
being that I was pregnant. Argh. You can't win ;)

Oh I am jealous! I suppose you are wearing maternity clothes too?

I'm almost 19 weeks and not visibly pregnant. Well when I'm naked me &
my husband can tell but I still fit into almost all my regular pants.
No way is anyone guessing I'm pg. Worries me that something might be
wrong, like it's not growing? I keep telling it to go ahead and
stretch out but so far nothing.

When is your u/s? Mine's Wednesday. I had the nuchal fold scan at 12
weeks and it looked perfect, so I hope all's well with this one too.
Maybe it's just curled up like a fiddlehead in there.

Elle-
We must have similar EDC's. I, too, have my US on Wednesday. For the
record, I am well into maternity clothes and haven't seen regular clothes in
awhile! One day you'll wake up and POP-you too will be in maternity
clothes! Have fun on Wednesday!

Yes I am wearing maternity clothes although I have a few pants that were on
the bigger side that I can still get into. Keep in mind this is my second
pregnancy within two years so I am showing MUCH sooner than with my first.
With my first I was wearing maternity clothes at about 5.5-6 months along.
Also I was wearing maternity overalls when the cashier made the comment.
These could make anyone look pregnant :o)

I had my ultrasound yesterday (a little early if you ask me) and our dates
seem to be bang on. We chose not to find out the sex. I prefer the element
of surprise. It's funny how the first pregnancy is so different from the
second. I was crying at my first ultrasound with my DD but not one tear this
time. It's still exciting but not quite the same. I guess the second time
around you have a toddler to take care of so you aren't as focused on the
pregnancy.

Hope all goes well with your ultrasound Elle!

That is reassuring to me, thank you :)

Well this is my fifth pregnancy but the other four didn't work out, so
I had plenty of crying at those ultrasounds but for the wrong reasons
:/ Definitely some of the magic is gone, I guess it was just too
much. My DH really wants to know the sex; I think it will help make it
more real to us. I totally don't care whether it is a boy or girl,
just want a baby at the end, but I think my DH might need a little
more info to help him wrap his head around the reality that we will
likely actually be parents next year!

Good luck both of you, Elle and Kelly! I hope the u/s brings good news for
you both!

Fwiw, I've been in maternity clothes for a while. Being very short and
small, I tend to get very big in the belly quickly. I feel like I'm bigger
this time than I was with my DD, so right now I'm betting that the baby will
be bigger, but we'll see. I'm really thrilled to be in my maternity clothes
and to be getting those nice little smiles from strangers because they can
tell I'm pregnant now. We had an early u/s at 6.5 weeks because I was
measuring 4 weeks ahead at that point, and the midwife wanted to
double-check that it wasn't twins. Just one baby, measuring right on target
with my date of conception, just happens to be the way my uterus sits in my
abdomen. All looked fine on that u/s, and everything has been going great
so far, and we don't want to find out the sex, so we're not planning another
u/s unless the midwife gets concerned about something.

I feel slightly disloyal, not sharing the time with the same bunch of women
from 2/02. Lol. But a new group is fun too!
