Showing Already?
Posted: 05-18-06 15:03pm

I am 11 weeks and 1 day and I am showing already! I have people asking me how far along I am as if I were already 5 or 6 months! Is it normal to be showing so early? I'm already in maternity pants and i've only gained 6 pounds. I thought I wouldn't show until like the 5th month or so. Have any of you ladies shown so much so early?

I showed really early too and was huuuuuuuuuuge by the end (not to scare you-lol) people kept asking if I was having twins. When I finally had my son we found out I had 2 amniotic sacs and he was big-ish (8lb6oz), don't worry though, just watch out (i gained 72 bloody pounds in all and luckily have it almost all off (well about 15-20lbs to go to my "ideal weight" but I do fit back into my clothes!!!

It is easy to show if you are petite or are having a big baby and some women just show faster then others. I am tall and big boned and I showed kind of early my 1st pregnancy with my son (10 lbs 2 ounces) and my 2nd pregnancy with my daughter showed much later (8 lbs. 8 ounces) every pregnancy is different.
Good luck to you and yours!

Everyone is different. I didn't show with my daughter until I was 5 1/2 months. But with my son, I could tell right away (bloat mostly).

With my first I didnt' show that quickly at about 201-23 weeks then I gained 30 lbs in 3 days and grew really quickly but it was allover my body. I just looked like a bloated body that had been in a river for 5 days. And now I look like one of those little babies in africa/india that have the bloated little tummys and scrawney little legs and arms. That is what I look like.

Made Me Feel Better
Posted: 06-27-06 20:33pm

Thank you for your submissions - you made me feel so much better!

I had three people ask me today if I am pregant. I am but on 6 weeks. I woke up one day last week and told my husband that I looked more like 5 months than 5 weeks. I had hoped that it was just my imagination; guess not.

Your blog has helped me feel a little normal again. This is my fourth child (others are 9, 11, 14) so what you all have stated really hits home with me.

I am due dec 2. I am 17w 4d. I went to my second ultrasound today and they tried to see the sex but my stubborn little baby wouldn't open it's legs! So.... I guess i'll have to go through pregnancy the old fashioned way!
