Question About 1st Pregnancies
Posted: 08-10-06 16:16pm

Everyone is telling me that with their first pregnancy it took forever to show. Some ppl said 6 months and some ppl said they showed right away. Ok my thing is im 28 wks (7mths) and I still dont look all that pregnant. I have a belly but its not big. If u didnt know I was preg, u would never guess. So when did everyone show!!??

I am now 38 weeks. I am 18 and 5'4" I didn't really show till I was about 7 month to 71/2 months for a while I thought I would never show. I am also a little overweight as well.

I started showing about six months as well...It was weird because for a long time I just felt fat and then all of a sudden it was just a little belly and then of course at the end I was huge...I am 5'3" and I was about 125 when I got pregnant and at the end I was about 170 so I really blew up...But it was definately worth every minute:) hang in there it will be there before you know it!

I started showing about a month or so ago and i'm 6 months preggy :) it started with just a little pooch under my belly button, but now i'm getting so big that ladies in the grocery store ask me when i'm due :) it seems like my belly got huge in just 3 weeks or so :) once it starts to show, it doesn't take long to really look preggy :)

You know what?Someone told me that most womens first pregnancies end up in a mc for some reson and a lot of the time it is because they are dehydrated.It doesn't seem to be the case with you guys!

I remember with my first that I went to a birthday party and this gir sitting across from me was one month ahead in her pregnancy---i was dismayed to see she was totally showing, and i, at 5ish months, was still wearing my 'large' size (about a size or two bigger, but no mat clothes yet). It really bummed me out!
But then by christmas (about 6 weeks later) my aunt was telling me she'd be surprised if i'd make it another 3 months! I totally popped out, gained about 12 pounds in two weeks.
Everyone is different and I think first babies generally take more time to show because your muscles are still strong and (relatively) taut. One of my friends hardly wore mat clothes at all, right through to the end! Just the way your body is built, and sometimes that has to do with height and weight, but sometimes not. It's a bit of a mystery...

Wow, i'm super jealous! I swear my belly just came out of nowhere in the last week and i'm 19 weeks (4.5 months). I think its natural to want to show off your growing belly, but everyone's body is different. You will probably not have to deal with stretch marks, so consider yourself lucky! I'm a first time mom, and I take lots of pictures of my belly because I know from my sister's experience that it will never look the way it did before again. Its a good thing i'm going to be an lpn for plastic surgery because i'm pretty sure i'll get a nice discount on a tummy tuck =)

as long as your baby is healthy I wouldn't worry about not showing too much...The baby is what counts!
