I’m 5 weeks pregnant and already feel like I have a baby bump. I used to have a flat stomach, but not anymore. Is this just bloating or fat😅, or could it be the baby growing already?

No but really Bytedance, how many times do you need to be directed to the We’re Pregnant bowl for posts about your pregnancy? This is at least the third post you’ve made here that is completely tone deaf to the purpose of this bowl. And I see you’ve made the exact same post in the We’re Pregnant bowl, so you definitely know better.

Bloating and fat probably (baby doesn’t grow that quickly)

Hi Everyone, I completed all interview rounds at pwc Bangalore. HR said they will roll out the offer same day, already it's been 4 workings days since, still no sign of offer letter, although final HR round with compensation was completed and agreed. I called again yesterday, same reply that will get offer today, still no offer letter yet. I am also wondering, will I even get the letter or the HR just wants to delay intentionally.

Potential new job is flying me across the country….for a one hour interview. Red flag? Or just a formality since they want me to relocate so I can see what it’s about?

I had IVF process to get pregnant. During pre- embryo transfer we were told that girl embryo is being transferred. Currently I am 18 week pregnant.

Anyone had similar experience?

This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
