Hi there

I still don't know if I'm pregnant or not - I have to wait for another week or so - but for the past week or two, I've noticed my stomach is bigger than normal. I usually have an almost flat tummy (I have no idea how, the rest of me is thick!!!) but lately it's been "puffy" ....

Also, a couple of times I"ve noticed a metallic taste in my mouth ....

Any idea if these are signs??

Thanks!!! Very Happy

I know your stomach wouldn't be swelling this early in pregnancy if you WERE pregnant. The fetus would only be the size of a pin.
Could be water.
The metallic taste in your mouth can be a pregnancy symptom, however, it is also associated with other ailments.
When I was waiting to find out if I was pregnant, it took about a week also. I had that gut feeling that I was, and it turned out to be right.
I would just wait to worry until you know for sure in about a week.
