I am also feeling so bloated and full lately, even though my period is only due next week. Could this really be a sign? Let's hope we both get our positive tests soon!

As an IVF mom, I had to track hormones very closely. Estrogen actually increases to maintain the uterine lining and support early development. If you feel any concern or have had previous losses, gently discuss your hormone levels with your doctor.

Testing after a missed period is the best. I waited for 4 days to get a strong positive, so please be patient and don't stress your body.

We did ours at 27 weeks, and honestly, the baby looked like a cute little alien yawning! It is definitely best around 26-30 weeks before they get too cramped in there.

Yes, these are very common early pregnancy signs. Take a home test if your period is delayed to be sure.
