Almost 13 weeks pregnant...
Posted: 04-21-08 09:39am

I've had somewhat of a baby bump since 10 weeks... Even my midwife and my grandma notices... Am I showing too soon?

And my midwife wants to wait until I'm about 19 weeks [Thats somewhere around my 4th prenatal visit] to do the ultrasound to see if its a boy or girl...should i have already had one to see if the baby implanted in the right spot, or to see how many I'm having??

every doctor does things differently, not all do early ultrasounds, the "bump" could be due to bloating, it is very normal

I've had a slight bump since like the end of my 8th week, beginning of my 9th week

It might be just bloating, but if you think it's twins, ( if you seem to be growing a little faster or meaursing too big), it's best to get it done early. Being a little bigger doesn't necessarily mean twins, it could mean extra water in the sack, a big baby, a growth spurt for a single fetus, etc.

Sometimes having twins brings on a whole set of complications on it's own and you would want to know if you were having twins and everything was ok as early as possible.
