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?

My friends said that in your 2nd pregnacy you get "big" faster is that true?

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my third child i am feeling very bloated. i am finally getting married on the third of september. I am very upset because I don't think my wedding dress is going to fit.

Hi Kelly, I'm 7 1/2 weeks pregnant w/ my 2nd and I look like I'm at least 12 weeks. With my first I didn't start showing until I was 5 months, and thats also when I got married. I wore a very flowy pants suit and really cute sandals. I had a justice of the peace so my wedding was quite informal. If you already have a dress you could see if you could have it altered (sp?) to an empire waist where the cut waist would start right under your chest, and it would slightly flare out. I always thought that style looked really nice on pregnant woman. Congrats on baby and wedding!

Hi, I am 9 weeks and this is my 3rd. I feel huge too. Not sure what it is but I am wearing maternity clothes already b/c nothing fits. Congrats on your wedding, I myself got married 2 weeks ago. I agree with with Maggie, the Empire look is awesome.

Hi all, thank goodness I read this entry! I'm feeling like a whale. I lost a lot of weight after having my daughter 4 yrs ago - 63 lbs on Weight Watchers... and not pregnancy weight by the way... it was all mine before my first baby. Now here I am in my 9th week in maternity pants... my hubby joke I've developed quite a 'front b___t' just in the past week. I don't feel bloated, though. Below my belly b___ton is hard as a rock - huge! Anyone have any favorite places to shop? Chain stores, for example, because I'm sure we're from all over the place.

Well I am only 19 and this is my first. I am 6 weeks and I am already starting to feel my clothes fitting tight. It looks more like a pug but I could be bloated too. I am so excited!!!

All this early showing is really nice to hear. I am almost 5 weeks and though I don't know that I am "showing" It is really uncomfortable to wear my jeans. I am wearing sweat pants today and it is much more comfy. I really didn't expect this so early. I have been eating very healthy foods so I don't think I have gained much weight.

I am about 7 1/2 weeks into my second pregnancy. My pants are feeling a little snug in the waist. I feel funny to buy maternity clothes so soon since I started buying them in the 4th or 5th month with my first. I am glad to see that others are the same way. Congratulations to everyone!!

Whoa, I am so glad to have found you all!! I am 5 1/2 weeks along with my first and already "popping".......nobody would think I was pregnant, just chubby! I guess as long as we are all eating healthy and exercising, we can't control our bellies much more!! I say, as long as our babies are healthy we'll have to deal with being "chubby" for now, right? Healthy baby wishes to everyone!

It may seem like you are showing but it is actually bloating and the fact that your digestive system has slowed down substantially....i think you all know what I mean by that. ;)

is it ok for your partner to c_m inside of your when you are pregnant or will it harm the baby?

So pleased to hear I'm not the only one! This is my second pregnancy. I showed quite quickly with my first, but this is incredible...I'm not quite 7weeks pregnant yet and none of my clothes fit me! I am a naturally slim person with small bone-structure so that may be why. The only thing is, you're supposed to keep your pregnancy quiet for the first 12weeks, because it's the most risky time, but I'm showing so much, its obvious! Well, I'm in maternity clothes already! I also feel sick as a pig all day and all night...much worse than with my first pregnancy.

Hi I started showing when I was six weeks thats when I knew I was pregnant

I was reading on the internet that if you have already had a child, your muscles will remember what they are supposed to do. That is why you tend to start showing more quickly than your first pregnancy.
