Pregnancy Info HOME

Linda. Im just in my second trimester now... with my second pregnancy...hitting the 13 week mark! And I have been showing since about 7 weeks. I was really bloated at first and noticed that after I would eat a meal that I would look like a 6 month pregnant woman! Now I am surely in maternity clothes and have been able to show the world that I am pregnant. Its very wierd because my son was 10lbs and yes I remember showing early...but not this early! My doctor thought I was a lot further and we did an ultrasound at 6 weeks because I looked quite pregnant then! So Linda....your not alone. Seems to be that you just stretch so much easier!Yeah we get to look pregnant for even longer! Hope this helped you out! :)

I beleive it is a little of both. With my 2nd baby, I am now 7 months prego with my 2nd, I started showing earlier, but only me and my husband could tell. It was hard to tell with clothes, but I was definetly bloated the first few weeks! I think my uterus popped out early too!

Absolutely. I started showing right away. Its normal!

I'm only 4-6 weeks and bought pants the next size up last week. I feel alot better about myself now that my clothes fit. Don't want everyone at work thinking I am getting fat since I haven't spread the word yet.

I'm sooo shocked all you gals are making me nervous I never wore maternity clothes with my first child butI'm 6ft tall and all torso I didnt really show until 61/2 months last time. I'm already 8 weeks along and now very paranoid I'll show sooner

I am going 5 weeks into my 1st pregnancy and i am showing slightly or bloated. I am not going to be one of those skinny (in the belly) pregnant women. I am definately going to show. I look pregnant when i have PMS.

Linda- I am 13 weeks(first pregnancy) and started bloating at about 5 weeks. I am now definitely showing. I hear all sorts of stories from people as to why i am showing so much. I think it just boils down to how our body reacts to all the changes it is going through. Size might have something to do with it, but i have had friends who are as small as i am, and they did not start to show like me. I know i am not over-eating so I am really enjoying it:)

I am so happy to hear that i am not the only one out there who's clothes are tight I am 7 weeks and 1/2 with my second and my clothes are already tight...... Thank goodness I know that I am not th eonly one out there and I have had morning sickness so I know that I amnot gaining to fast

This is my first pregnancy and im only 10 weeks and my belly looks like im 4 months...so don't feel too bad!!!!

okay ladies. i am asking a serious question. i am only 2 weeks ond 1 day late on my period. i already have a 14 month old son. i am not slim and not chunky but in between. do you think i am pregnate or do you think it is all in my head? i haven't taken a pregnacy test yet. my husband told me to wate. when should i take a test? with my son i went when i was 2 months late but i heard that you don't have to wate that long. e-mail me back on your sugestions at archangel11@comcast.net

Im 8 weeks pregnant and my stomach is showing, this is also my 2nd pregnancy.

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and nothing was fitting me either. I do feel bloated all the time and I look like I am 6 months pregnant. I just said the heck wiht it and started wearing maternity clothes. I do feel embarrased when people ask me how far I am.

I am 8 weeks and clothes are definatley tightening! This too is my second. Gonna have to try the rubber band here soon.

I too am 10 wks w/my first pregnancy & look way bigger then I thought I would! I think a lot of it has to deal w/your size! I am very pet_te & the doc advised that I would show pretty early... he was right!

This is my sixth pregnancy, and I cannot wear my jeans or shorts anymore. I am only in my 8th week. I haven't gained any weight yet ( and I am small), so I cannot figure out why I am already outgrowing my clothes. I have never shown this early before. My last pregnancy (the 1 before this 1), I think I was about 12 weeks when I started showing. I have read somewhere that the smaller you are and the more babies you have, can make you show sooner. I don't know how true that really is, but it would explain why I am already unable to wear my regular clothes. Or, maybe I am just bloated, who knows?

I have a question, I am 14 weeks, and I am afraid I am showing too much. Where exactly does your stomach get big? Mine is right in the middle of my belly b___ton, and I always thought it would get big below my belly b___ton, so I am scared I am not showing just gaining weight?
