How Far Along Were You..
Posted: 01-30-06 22:21pm

Hey guys. I found out about a month ago that I was expecting. As of right now, i'm 10 weeks and 2 days. I wanted to know, about how far along were you until you actually felt and looked as though you were pregnant? Because as of right now, i'm gaining weight but I feel like I just look like that.. Like i'm gaining weight and not appearing pregnant. So how long until the 'dominant' features like the actual shape of the pregnant belly begin to show?

All of your replies would be greatly appreciated!

I found out at 3.5 weeks. I started gaining weight immediately but didn't really show until I was about 3-4 months. A lot of the showing part depends on your physical appearance... If you're bigger then you usually don't show as early. If you're thin, you normally show earlier.
As far as feeling pregnant, I felt pregnant right away. Lol, that's how I found out so early. I have pregnancy symptoms really early. I have to start wearing an underwire bra with a sports bra over it almost from the beginning because my breasts are so sore, fatigue, dizziness, etc. Congratulations!

I knew right away I was pregnant with elisa I guess instinct and same with the second as for test wise with elisa I didnt know till first missed period officially and 21/2 months this time cause all the test kept coming back negative. With elisa I start showing at the end of 7 months and this one 7/8 it depends on your structure I have big bones and can carry my weight differently..

I felt pregnant immediately. I mean immediately. My subsconscious was like you're pregnant chick but my brain was like not possible. As far suckers around four months and it's my first baby. Being skinny is so not an advantage in that department cuz I wanted to hide it for awhile (job reasons)

Thank you all so much for the responses. It was nice to wake up this morning and see that so many of you had actually replied!

I guess i'm just going to have to wait a little longer until I actually start to show. I'm 5'2 and usually my weight is 130 - so I guess that is a factor I have to consider.

I'm really happy I decided to join this site. I feel as though you all can offer a lot of support and advice - which is exactly what I need at this point to calm all of my emotions and worries. It's hard being a 17 year old that's still in school and pregnant, but with everyones support.. It's going to be an awesome experience.

Thanks girls! Keep the replies coming! <3
