roofusdoofus I've decided that I'm for sure showing because I can't suck it in anymore (and trying to suck in is uncomfortable!)
A few people have mentioned recently feeling like they're showing or feeling like their uterus has popped... does that mean we're ready for our first HDBD next week?!

DO IT
HDBD is my FAVORITE. On Wednesdays I stalk PAIF and every 2016 BMB.

You have a good excuse to be showing this early - you've got two in there!!
I'm excited to see HDBD pics from you lovely ladies, but I probably won't contribute here like I did on TB because of internet paranoia and the TOU change on TB where they could use our images just freaked me out for good, I think.

Totally understandable. I'm just planning not to show my face!
gratefulgirl I would be excited too! Can't wait to hear how it goes and so glad to hear you had a good apppointment!
I'm almost 10 weeks and I feel like some of my belly is baby at this point and no longer bloat...but I don't know how to be sure. I'm not sure when I should quit trying to hide it and when I should start wearing my form-fitting maternity stuff. I've heard you show earlier in subsequent pregnancies, but man...
I say do it. I've been in maternity clothes since 10w1d (I was proud of myself for making it to 10 weeks). I am 13w1d today and there is no hiding it anymore. I laugh when I think about how I had planned on not saying anything until I was out of the 1st tri, not even possible.
TTC #1 since August 2011 DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA Me (32): Slightly low P4, hostile CM, carrier for CF, high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA October 2012-August 2015: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, 2 failed FETs w/donor embryos, 1 freeze all IVF, 1 Failed FET, and 1 cancelled FET November 2015: FET w/ DEm #3 Transferred 1 perfect 6AA blast

I got a decent night of sleep. I woke up pretty happy and had some energy. Now I'm exhausted. I just want to go to sleep. But DS won't go down for a nap. I may crash as soon as I put them to bed tonight.

Hahaha I totally sit here. I didn't want to tell work until I got out of first tri, but then realized I was pretty much showing at 10 weeks. Another week of skulking around in my fleece jacket and I'd had enough. My boss made the announcement for me by telling our group we were getting a new team member lol.
I'm here. I'm alive. Work is still totally kicking my ass, although it has slowed down a bit today (hence why I'm here!). Most days I barely have time to shovel food in my pie hole at work, much less hang out with you lovelies. Then I get home and I'm exhausted.
I hope everyone is doing well! And if not, then big hugs.

I did it starting at 11 weeks. Everyone already knew anyway.
My NP today said I had totally popped, so I feel validated in my decisions in life.

After my good appointment/ultrasound yesterday we told DS last night. He was excited and wants a baby sister named Sam (my SIL is having a baby girl named Samantha next week). I sure hope this baby is a girl because DS will not be happy if it's a boy!

Also, I told work today. So I'm excited that Ivan start wearing maternity clothes. My work pants are getting so uncomfortable and the bella band is not a perfect solution.
Add me to the ladies who have popped and can no longer hide it.
Re. My trip to the Caribbean and zika. My doctor called me back and told me that the recommendation is that unless you have symptoms, not to get tested for the zika virus. I asked about the fact that 60-80% of people infected are asymptomatic and he offered to refer me to public health for the testing.
I did some more research and apparently the virus only stays in your blood for a week, and the reason why they recommend not testing all pregnant women who have visited infected areas is because of "risk of false positives and other relevant reasons". So now I don't know what to do. I would have to drive 2 hours to get the test and it might be too late and/or cause unnecessary worry. Wwyd?

Oh my, that's a tough decision. I'd go for whatever would give me the most peace of mind. Silly question, do you know if you were bitten by a mosquito?

I was just reading an article the other day that was ripping the whole "don't get tested unless you have symptoms" thing for that very reason (so many people are asymptomatic) and how it was creating a huge vulnerability for so many pregnant women.
Honestly, I would probably get the test for peace of mind. I know I would be worrying my entire pregnancy. The only bad thing is it that if you DO have it, there is absolutely no treatment and nothing they can do. So...ya. That's tough.
I guess I would ask my dr what they will do if you test positive. Extra ultrasounds to monitor head growth? Will they do that anyway without the testing?
My doctor said the only "treatment" is an elective abortion, so yeah. I guess I would just want extra monitoring? I don't even know what I want tbh. The chances of me having the zika virus are very slim, and then the chances that the zika will cause microcephaly is something we don't even know. I guess all pregnancies are a leap of faith to some extent, I just wish I didn't have this extra worry.
I was on a resort where I was at first concerned with the crazy amount of mosquito spraying they did every night. No bites. I came back 2 weeks ago, so if the virus is only in my blood for a week, I may never know if I had it or not

Ah ya, if you have already been back that long and it would only show up for a week, I guess the decision has probably been made for you. Could you possibly request some additional scans later in your pregnancy to check for microcephaly? Would you even want to?
Just got a text from DH--he was apologizing because he doesn't know where my clothes go. As in he just did the laundry. Apparently he is also about to start on the towels. Sweet.
Sorry you have to go through this, sadpanda! Pregnancy is definitely stressful enough. I would also maybe just see if they could do extra monitoring, if that's something you would want.

The nature of being a mother. You will constantly being worrying about something. It's never ending. If it were me, I would find comfort in the fact that you didn't have any obvious bites so I think your chances are even slimmer.
sadpanda, is there anything you can do about it if you test positive? If not, I don't think it's worth the trouble.
sadpanda Wholeheartedly agree with my girl Boca. If you had it, it probably won't show up in tests now. If you didn't, it wouldn't show up because you never had it. I'd maybe ask for some additional/elective ultrasounds to monitor head growth, but that's probably all.
*hugs* I'm sorry you have this worry. I wish I could take it away.
Thanks for the support and advice ladies I really appreciate it. I'm going to try really hard to keep my anxiety in check. Hopefully all this worry is for nothing
