a Few Questions Can You Please Help
Posted: 07-26-04 10:55am

Im 15weeks and 2days pregnant and my question is when do you start showing? When is it okay or normal to show? I also wanted to see if anyone knew some myths about finding out if its a boy or girl? Also is it okay to skip or forget to take you prenatal vitamins or is it okay to not take them at all? Im 15weeks close to 4months and I dont even feel pregnant the only difference is that im tired all the time I fall asleep at work. This is my first pregnancy cant you tell but is it normal not to feel pregnant.

I'm 18 weeks and I started showing around 11 weeks, but other people don't start showing until 25+ weeks. It all depends on you. The smaller you are, the earlier you show. Obviously, if you're like 400 pounds, you're never going to show because there's too much other flesh to even tell!

Its not ok not to take the vitamins at all... I'd say not to worry if you miss a day but try your best to take them everyday. If you look in the teen pregnancy forum there are alot more people. I know there are at least two posts in the past 4 months or so about myths about finding the baby's sex, but of course none of them work! I did all of them and it came out 50-50. But I have my ultrasound next week Smile

if you don't feel pregnant, consider yourself lucky! Feeling pregnant mostly consists of feeling bloated and getting morning sickness.

Erin is right everyone is different. I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow and i'm showing just a little not too much. I did not have bad sympthoms either. I only get tired a lot and just a little neasua's but that's it.

I do think it's important to take your vitamins it's for yourself and your baby.

You should consider yourself lucky because a lot of girls who experience morning sickness or other sympthoms are not too happy.

I think it really depends on your body, and how you're carrying the baby. Im 23 weeks and all my life I was a size 0, 95 lbs, and I didn't start showing until this last week. You can actually tell im pregnant now.
