I know this does not answer your questions, but at least you know you are not the only one it is happening to. I get all the "are you sure it's not twins" and "gee, you look like you're about to pop any minute" and at 16 weeks "not long to go now then?!" and it is not much fun, but I did lose it all with the last one (it took me two years) and I must admit that it IS all worth it in the end. And you will have a great excuse if you need time out to go to the gym and let daddy take the reigns for a while, while you vent some frustration in a Body Combat class!
