Pregnancy Info HOME

Glad I found this site! I'm 9 weeks and look 4-5 months. This is my third child.

OH THANK GOD! This does my heart good to hear all of this. This is my first pregnancy. I'm only 7 weeks along and I can't wear any of my jeans comfortably. My legs are the same and my b___t seems normal, it's just my tummy sticks out! I'm just so glad that it's not unusual!! Hang in there all!!! :-)

Hello...I'm 4 1/2 weeks with my second baby (my son is 21 months) and my belly is bulging! I don't know what to wear...it's too soon for maternity clothes, and bigger clothes look sloppy!!! Any advice?

Linda...I am seven weeks (2nd preg) and what you are more than likely noticing is abdominal distention. If you are constipated, this is most likely why. I have noticed that when I am constipated, my abdomen distends, if not, it goes back to normal. It is still too early for your abdomen to really reflect uterine enlargement.

i am going to be about 6 weeks and this is my second pregnancy. i had a little pooch from the first baby and i use to suck in my stomach and look thin, but now when i try to do that it doesn't look the same. i don't know if it is too early to show or what. i just found out i was pregnant last week.

So relieved! This is my third pregnancy and I am only 9 weeks but I look about 5 months. I didnt show until 7 mos. with my first two so I was mortified! Guess I might have to take a trip to gapmaternity.com a little sooner than expected

Reading Gail's story sounds exactly like I wrote it myself. I am 11 wks and feel like I am much bigger than I should be, but havn't gained any weight yet!?!? What does this mean? Gail if you read this I would like to get in touch with you as we sound like we are in the same situation. 5'3" and everything. roberts_tasha@hotmail.com

I am six weeks myself and had 4 other children. I too feel like I am bloated . I also wonder if I could start showing this early .Is it possible

response to Kimberly: I am so happy that i read these boards. My friend thinks i am nuts that i am showiing already. she doesn't think its true. I am on my 3rd pregnancy and only 7 weeks but my belly looks to be more like 3-4 months preg. its just popping out there. can't wear any of my clothes but don't want to resort to maternity wear yet so i have been wearing sweatshirts and stretch pants. i feel so fat and bloated. my husband thinks its beautiful but its not his body with a watermelon growing inside. LOL. if only men knew.........

Oh my gosh! i truly thought I was losing my mind. My belly has been popping out for about a week and I am only 4 months along! I thought everyone would think I was crazy or just trying to get attention so I didnt mention it to anyone! I am so glad to hear I am not the only one going thru this. I already have 3 children so I guess this is to be expected. Now I just have to decide how I am going to fit comfortably into my clothes for work tomorrow! Bring on the rubber bands! :)

to correct my first posting: i am not 4 MONTHS along, i meant to say 4 WEEKS.....i just feel 4 months! haha!:)

i have a question could i be showing at 5 weeks? i mean this is my first pregnancy and i already feel like i am holding 100pounds more in front my back aches all the time and im starting to show i think or im bloated... im not sure i didnt think i could show at 5 weeks.. is that possiable?

I too am only 5weeks and am showing This is my 2nd pregnancy and i already cant fit into my jeans I thought it was just bloating but now i'm not sure?/ So I'm with you girls I think it is normal!!!!

Thanks...I am not alone. I am in maternity clothes since my 6 week...third child. The first one...at 4 months, the second one I was wearing maternity at 6 months....So they say every pregnancy is different. You are the best judge of when you need to wear maternity clothes...they are so much more comfortable. Good luck to you all.

Linda I am in my first trimester as well and I am beginning to show a little bit. I then think since I am not the only one it is probably normal.

I am 5 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. and yes i am like the rest of you, my clothes no longer fit me around the waist so i am wearing maternity clothes, but i dont know if i am bloated or showing, every pregnancy is different you would think being pregnant four times you would be an expert.
