Hi, im about nine weeks pregnant with my 3rd child and im not showing yet.With your first babyyou may not show until your 4 or 5 months along. At around 21/2 months your uterouse will lift from your pelviouse and you may find that your tummy sticks out then. Also common in first trimester is bowl retention coused by your growing uterouse wich may couse your jeans to be very tight. Give it time, before you know it you will be waddling around with a belly like a buda. E-mail me if you have any more questions.

Hi jessicalynn

i am 13.5 weeks now and startet showing. I thing if you are slim your stomak will show bigger than when you getting a lot of weight then the body fat will hide the stomak.

Don't Be Too Anxious!

I couldn't wait to look pregnant either, and now I am 30 weeks along and you wouldn't believe how much this belly is going to slow you down! You will have trouble doing the most simple things, such as shaving your legs, standing up, getting in and out of a car...

It is a wonderful feeling to know that there is a little life inside that huge belly, but it sure can be inconvenient as well! Wink

9 Weeks And Showing Already

I'm 9 weeks and have already gained 5 1/2 lbs. I'm starting to show a tiny bit as I did with my first pregnancy. I got just big enough to be uncomfortable in my clothes and did not get any bigger till about 4-5 months. My doctor said this has to do with how you are carrying and how fast your uterus develops.
