All I can say is that I didn't feel pregnant on and off for the first 3 or 4 months! The "feeling" came and went for me. I know it's so hard not to freak out, Brandi, but I'm praying for your healthy bean!

Actually, what you are experiencing is super normal! Many of us have an initial period of bloating, then it goes away after a few weeks and we actually look 'normal' again before belly finally pops. So don't fret.

What you're feeling is totally normal. I really didn't feel pregnant at all till I started getting m/s at around 8 weeks so definatley try not to worry. Good luck on Wed. I'll be praying for you and your LO.

I don't think I felt pregnant until much further along. If I had bloating, it also came and went.
I can't wait for your update on Wednesday!

Brandi, it's especially normal after MA. You're pumped full of so many drugs that cause bloating that you look bigger than you really are. That bloat is probably going away now.
I used to be way more bloated at night than in the morning. I had to choose my clothes carefully to make sure what I wore still fit by the end of my work day.

I didn't look pregnant until about 18 weeks. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about!

My bloat came and went and seemed to change each day. It is completely normal to have bloating then go to a flat tummy in a matter of hours. I'm sure you will have a great appointment on Wednesday!

I agree with everyone else. The Clomid and other fertility drugs that you were on can have a big effect on the bloating during the early weeks. My bloating has come and gone as well.
