But I feel like I should be showing a girl at my work is due the same time as me and she is showing. Is this normal.

Yeah, and I started showing at 9 weeks! Everybody is different! Some people don't show the whole time, and nobody can even tell they're pregnant!

You girls who aren't showing should be happy, not longing for a belly!! No belly means no stretch marks and no fat to lose after giving birth!

Due Date
My due date is 9-10 I also feel like I have more fat on my belly than a preg belly. My mom said you don't want a big belly but I would at least feel more pregnant and I still wear my same clothes. April 12 I will find out the sex im guessing a boy.

Boy Or Girl I Wish I New
I went today they could not tell what the sex was he or she was curled up and they could not tell but I go back may 10 for another one just so they can see everything again b/c my baby would not turn around it was sitting like a indian and moving its arms. Maybe next time. I will be like 22 wks next visit so maybe he or she will move more they said I was carrying the baby low but that was okay. Anyone ever been told they were carrying low in there 2nd trimester.
