Battle of the bloat part 2

The other day the unimaginable happened.

A woman offered me her seat on the tube.
Now, she was either psychic or delusional because there is no way my bloat/questionable bump is visible to anyone, especially not a complete stranger.
I was so, so embarrassed. I turned bright red, mumbled a 'no, thanks' and hid behind the guy in front of me.

OK, fine, I admit it's getting a little harder to hide it, and I have been walking about with my jeans button undone and praying nobody at work notices.

I CANNOT wait till we can tell people so I can stop with the paranoia and secrets!
Already all my friends are talking about it, some have asked me even, and I refuse to deny it so I usually shrug and say nothing.

5 and a half days until the scan. I can survive 5 days right?
Problem is, I won't get the blood test results back for another 2 weeks (if I'm lucky) after that, so technically we can't tell for another 2 weeks, 5 days!

How can I hide it for 3 more weeks?!?!

Battle of the bloat

How can this be? I'm not even 10 weeks yet and look at this:

This pic I took when I was stimming for IVF and thought I was bloated! Oh the irony!






I know it's too early for baby bumps, and my diet has been particularly bad (baby does not like vegetables or anything sweet hence not much fruit either, but LOVES carbs, pastas, cheeses etc) but sheesh, that's a LOT of bloat!

I can't wait till I have a proper baby bump and not a questionable bloat one!
