I'm so glad I found this site. I'm 9 wks. along in my FIRST pregnancy and while I'm not really "showing", I'm definately having trouble fitting into my jeans. At my first doc appt. he remarked that my uterus is slightly larger than normal for being 9 wks. I'm freaked out that I may be having twins now. Has anyone else had a large uterus and had it NOT be twins?

I am 9 weeks pregant with my first child. I usually have a really flat stomach because I do situps everyday but I found that even as early as my 4th week my stomach was bloated and noticably bigger. I read that its because the uterus starts stretching and swelling from the very early weeks of pregnancy. So i guess its going to be awhile until I get to see my toned flat stomach again.....That is if it ever comes back!

Reading all of these postings has made me feel much better. This is my second and it is way different then #1. I can't be anymore then 4weeks and my abdomen all the way to my stomach has swollen up fast. granted some of my stomach is fat but it hurts to hold it in even slightly. I am also short 5' 2", so i believe that has alott to do with me showing so fast. Take Care!!

This is my 3rd pregnancy, I am 5 weeks and showing. I feel bloated most of the time, but as excited as if this was my 1st pregnancy.

I am on my 2nd child, I am 7 weeks and I look like I am 4 months. I feel huge and I am only going to be 2months at the end of this week. I didn' t start showing with my first one until I was 3months pregnant. :) I am already in maternity clothes.

well, i believe you can, i just found out that i am pregnant with my 3rd, and i feel bloated, my jeans are not fitting and i am only 5 1/2wks pregnant, with my 2nd child i showed at 5 months and with my 1st at 7months, so it is possible

I thought I was going nuts! At 16 I got pregnant with my first child and didn't show until I was 6 months. Now at 21, I am 5 weeks pregnant with my second child and swear I look 4 months pregnant. My pants don't fit and I feel huge! I am so glad this is normal. Thanks for your responses!

I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant with my third child and I already went from a size 4 to size 6! I have only gained 2 pounds so its not all fat. With my first I wore pregnancy clothes at 5 months and my second was 4 months (I also gained 70 pounds with each!!) It is completely normal to show early. I would rather show earlier than later - that way I don't just look 'fat'!

Iguess you can I've heard of women showing at only 7-8 weeks and wearing maternity clothing. I my self am 7 weeks and having a hard time fitting into my clothing even with my weight loss of 5 pounds.

Hello, Don't feel too left out I am 9 weeks and already in maternity clothes. I was worried about this also, but the doctor said that if you were an average weight when you concieved it is possible and normal to show this quickley. Hope I gave some comfort I know you did for me.

Hello everyone, I am going through the confused stage. My period was due on August 10th. For the past 2 weeks I have felt like I have my period and very bloated. I have done a HPT and it showed neg. My b___bs are not tender but they have gotten bigger. According to my calculations, I would be 5 weeks pregnant on August 14th. Can anyone tell me if this is normanl, Is this all in my head and I am not pregnant. I have gained 2 pounds without overeating. I feel like my uterus is being stretched to its max but I also have a slight pain more on my left than right. Can anyone help!
