Im 18 years old and 6 weeks pregnant with my first child. My stomach is already getting bigger and it is very firm.I haven't had mt first prenatal appointment yet but that's besides the point. My main purpose for this post is to ask any of you girls out here that are pregnant if you guys can send me belly pics and tell me how far along you are so I know what to expect and know when im going to get however big. I know every woman is different but I just want an idea so if you guys will please send me any and all belly pics you got I would appreciate it very much. you can post them on here if you know how. One more question, when is the earliest you can tell the sex of you baby? I mean through an ultrasound? Thanks.Angel

I guess it is up to your doctor, but I went to the hospital and told them something was going on and I didnt know how far along I was ans they did a blood test urine test and an ultrosound all in one

I had my first u/s last week I was about 6 weeks- we saw the heartbeat and head shape and everything. I had it early because I have had 2 miscarriages and they wanted to make sure evrything was a-ok (which it is) ususally the first u/s is between 8-12 weeks. Ask the doc. He'll let u know. Good luck!!!!!

Thanx a lot for all your guys’ advice….Every little bit helps. I will ask my doctor as soon as I get one. I haven’t been able to find one in my area yet except for men and I refuse to have a man because I am just to uncomfortable with any man unless hes my man….Lol…

normally unless the doc sees reason for doing it earlier you have it at or around 20 wks
but this time when I went to my first appt they did it then, and I was surprised, they wanted to make sure that the due date was accurate, and you can't do that after so many wks because the babies start growing at different rates

Everyone is different as far as when they start to show. And rough sex is fine as long as you're comfortable.
