I'm very lucky and am now 7wks, 2 days pregnant after a natural miscarriage at 12 weeks back in late Oct 11.
But my question is... I look about as big as I was at 12wks, I think my body has just picked up where it left off after the miscarriage, has anyone else experienced this? I only had 2 full months between losing our first then getting pregnant again. My stomach did go down in size, not back to as flat as it was before pregnancy, but back to not looking pregnant. But it's just got big so quickly! I think things are going well this time so we are remaining very positive! -------------   Oct 11 & Mar 12

Well...I'm almost 5wks but I seriously feel about 15wks! My tummy is massive and I'm not a big person so it's really noticeable. I'm hoping I'm just quite bloated at the moment and it might go down soon??
With my first I didn't really show much until after 20wks. I guess your uterus would've strethed a bit with your first pregnancy and getting pregnant quite soon after it may not have fully reverted back to its pre-pregnancy size. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oh cool, thanks ladies! I haven't been chowing down as much as I Fi first time round & have been exercising more so am generally a bit thinner but not my puku lol.
Tigger, you are right about the boobs too, I've gone from a 10c to a 12dd by week 5! I got married on the weekend, my dressmaker waited till Fri 27th to measure me up, sewed my dress over the weekend, then I went in for a fitting on the Mon night & it was skin tight over my stomach! Luckily I had a lace layer over the top to cover it, so she could sew two inserts over each hip to give me room to breathe! Heehee. ------------- Oct 11 & Mar 12
