Hi Ladies

Happy weekend to you all. Yes, I am very boring and am on the computer on the weekend!

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a shift in weight/bloating in the first trimester??

The reason I ask is that when I was very eary on (like 4/5 weeks) I was so bloated and felt like I had put heaps of weight on around my middle and I even had to go and buy some new jeans. I am in my ninth week now and over the last couple of days I have felt like I am not bloated at all. I have noticed a change in my uterus area and feel like I have lost weight and can feel a pronounced area behind my pubic bone. I didnt think anything of it but I did my jeans up this morning and I could do up the belt one more hole than before.

I am really confused. I was at the doctors only 4 days ago and there was a very lively heartbeat. If something had gone wrong surely it would not be noticeable so quickly with my weight????
I keep telling myself its because I havent been drinking since being pregnant (and I used to have a glass or two of wine pretty much every day) means that I have lost weight from that alone ??? Is that possible?

I havent suffered any other pregnancy symptoms other than my breasts getting bigger and they hurt (mostly only at night) for about a week or two.

I am hoping someone else out there has had the same experience ?? I know that if I am worried I should go to the doctor but was wanting some real life experiences before I run to the doctor.

Sorry for the long winded post. Just very very confused.
