What are some major milestones when you are pregnant?

I know some of the basics, but when do you start 'craving' foods and have to wear maternity pants? I am only 7 weeks along, 5'2", and short-waisted. My doctor said it is possible for me to start 'bloating out' anytime and have to wear larger pants. I just want to make sure I am not 'mentally creating' these feelings!

Is there a website where you can find out these 'mommy milestones?' I have had already checked out several.

    Everyone's milestones are different. You can find a great weekly calendar on ivillage.com that gives general "what you should be experiencing" information that could be very helpful. I needed maternity pants at about 12 weeks because I started poking out so low I couldn't get my regular jeans to fit. I didn't need maternity shirts, however, until about week 16 or 17. The cravings come and go, at least for me. I had really strong cravings/dislikes when I was early in my pregnancy and now (I'm almost 27 weeks) I don't crave much of anything. I think my cravings had a lot to do with morning sickness, though.

    Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy!

    I showed a little tummy at 4 weeks along. When your smaller you tend to show right away.
