Starting to Show?
Posted: 04-05-05 13:12pm

When did all you girls start to show? Im 17 weeks and I feel like weeks ago I should have shown? Am I going crazy? Im also concerned at my appt last week the dr said I gained -2 ounces that brings my lotal to -4 lbs. I should be gaining not losing? Anybody run into this im worried about my little sprout! I should have gained like 10lbs by now. Im a little heavier to begin so I understand I shouldn't gain as much as your average person. Any advise?

All people are different. You should probably start gaining weight soon, have you asked your doctor about this?

I'm 22 weeks and i've only gained about 5 pounds all together. It's really important that you take your vitamins everyday!! Try eating little bits at a time! I started to show around 19 weeks...I'm just now starting to "pop"

Im 29 weeks and I have only gained 2 pounds. Some people might say that that is bad for the baby but my daughter is huge! There is no way you could tell I was pregnant from behind but when I turn around it looks like I have a basketball in my shirt! I started showing at like 23 weeks and now she wont stop growing. One day you will wake up and have a tummy. Dont worrrie it wont be long.

:o sheww weeee ladies this is my fifth prgnancy..... The fourth ended in miscarriage back in feb....... But I am only 8 weeks pregnant and I am already starting to show. But I was really small before I got pregnant, so I am supposing either it is normal to show earlier when you are really small and when it is your fifth pregnancy or this is gonna be one monster of a big baby lol. Good luck to all :p
