Is something wrong???
Pregnancy symptoms come and go during the first trimester. You said you're still having nausea on and off - that's a good sign. My nausea didn't start until around 9 weeks along. My symptoms quit at 6 weeks, and then started back up at about 7. It's completely normal to just "not feel pregnant" in the first trimester. You may also get the feeling again when you hit the second trimester since you usually aren't nauseas anymore, but you can't feel baby move yet. Next month you should be able to hear baby's heartbeat, that should help a little :) I don't recommend the home monitors though, at least not the cheap Walmart ones, they really don't work well at all, they actually make you worry more than they help because the heartbeat hardly ever shows up on there. Bloating is normal, you'll be feeling that a lot, and the stretching feeling in your stomach is your ligaments stretching to make room for your growing uterus. You'll probably start having little sharp pains on each side of your lower tummy soon - just more stretching. Everything you've mentioned points to a healthy pregnancy at 8 weeks! Try not to worry too much, baby will feel it (though we all worry, and that's so easier said than done lol). You had 4 hpts that were positive - you're pregnant :) Congrats!
