Found Out Im 8 Weeks, Have Alot of Questions..
Posted: 08-25-05 21:13pm

Okay well I just found out im about 8 weeks pregnant.. And I have alot of questions...

1. Is when do u usually start to show?? Cuz once I start to show ill have to quit or go on leave from my job...


2. I have a friend who has a 4 month old right now and she has alll this "flab" like stretched skin or w/e u wanna call it I dunno how to explain it. How can I try to make sure I get back to a good weight around where I was after I deliver?? And how long will it take my body to get back to normal??


3. Please dont comment on this part or put him down, but my bf keeps pushing on my stomach and poking me and stuff like that cuz hes scared rite now nd doesnt want the baby...Hes not usuing much force or anything, I mean hes not trying to really hurt me bad.. He doesnt even push hard.. But it hurts still..Anyways.. Is there any way this could be hurting the baby???


I have more wuestions but I dont wanna make the post too long.. Thanks

Dont let him push on your stomach out of respect for you and the baby. I have this young friend who is like 4 months, her b/f tries to poke at the baby she hits the crap outta him--yelling dont ever do that!!!


Your b/f is not worth it, if he's pleased to stay with you let him, but dont let him abuse you or the baby--and definately dont let anyone talk you into an abortion or anything you dont really want to do. You have to think of you and the baby--thats all. So what if you get fat, the baby is all that matters. I am a frumpy girl and I finally got my pre-pregnant state back and skinnier after my 3rd child. So my kids did not make me fat.


Do not stress out and dont worry about what the boyfriend thinks. Just be thinking of baby and you. Why do you have to quit your job if preg.??

You will need to go on leave around the very end of pregnancy--unless job is very strenuous you dont have to quit do you? I mean you can if you want but you shouldnt have to!!


If it is first pregnancy the skin should be tight all the way through--i dont know what you mean flabby skin??

Okay I got ya on the job thing oh well, you get to take it easy then right?? Yes right after there is skin but if no c/s it will spring back pretty well for most girls. Unless they have one right after the other or get really bad stretch marks--but use vitamin e on stomach to keep it elastic be4 and after birth.

Good luck hon

Lol, gotta laugh at the breasts thing. If your a breasts girl your in good shape. You probably won't show till around 5 to 6 months. And if you want to keep the flab to a min get the pregnancy arobic tapes, you can get them from the library. Also babies r us sells a pregnancy support belt thing helps hold the tummy up so there is less strain on your back and tummy. Oh and cocoa butter!!! Streach marks are horrible, trust me, cocoa butter helps, lol. Congrats on the baby. And next time your bf pokes you or pushes on your tummy smack him one.

Yes he can do damage. Taking too many blows and hits to the stomach can definitely cause a miscarriage. The baby is pretty protected and safe in your uterus, but continues action towards your stomach and god forbid a pretty hard blow, can risk the life of the baby.

Your bf makes me sick I mean really he does...He must be an immature problem..I have tried to get pregnant for 8 years and it has finally happened...Send your bf my way so I can hit him in the stomach...I dont feel I am being to harsh about this...If your bf dident want a baby guess he should of thought about that before he laid down with you. If he does this again you need to leave! This is abuse and does he realize that if he hurts and kills the baby he could go to jail for homicide

Yes it would be homicide to cause you to loose the baby.

Good luck

Well that's good that you guys talked about it. Although I was going to recommend a little flick to the testicles for every "poke" you got :wink:

i think you'd have to get a really serious blow to the stomach to do any damage- the baby is tiny t the moment and very, very well protected by your stomach muscles and pubic bone etc. Although it is definately disrespectful to be pushing you around, and there is an increaeed chance of you getting injured if you fell down, or twisted the wrong way while there was pushing and shoving going on- this is because of the hormone called relaxin, which loosens up the ligaments and joints.

As for showing, it is always different for everyone, but you will probably not show as properly pregnant until about 5 or 6 months, although, your shape will change and you'll loose your waistline. You will maybe just look like you are gaining a little weight until the proper round ball tummy pops out around the 5 1/2 month mark.

To neeko177: hey look I am not here to argue with you I came here to read posts and when I came to yours it made me sick! I am sure alot of people who read this was just as sick as I was. You should appreciate the fact that I was sticking up for you. And yes I can agree with the lady who said about the flick to the testicals....He needs more than that....All I am saying is dont be stupid and let him do this to you or the baby...Even if you two dont want the baby there is plenty of people out there who would die to have a baby.......Enough said!

17 Yrs, Old???
Posted: 08-30-05 01:29am

I am going to be a little bit agressive here and speak my mind!!! But I do feel for you... I was 5 months pregnant with my daughter when my ex-husband left me,,, I was 28 though, not 17. At 17, I thought I knew it all and agreed to marry that man (no kids involved). Poking is a no-no!!! Touching, trying to hear the heartbeat with a stethoscope.... An awesome thing! Whatever you do, don't sell yourself short... If you want the baby.. Have the baby!!! Don't go by what he says!!!! They are precious little souls in need of guidance, love and alot of care... If you have to... Trust me... You can do it on your own!
