Getting the Bump Going... Posted: 01-15-07 23:21pm
Before I get this going I want to say
apologize for posting a couple of
questions today , I just don't have
anybody to talk to with answers and who
better to ask then girls that have
actually experienced it all, or most of
it!
I'm 16 weeks and a bit pregnant and am
showing, I was always relatively skinny
and dont notice extra weight anywhere but
my bum and my boobs (thank god for that ,
I finally have a chest!) but the bump in
my belly is very noticeable , i've already
taken out the belly-button ring and people
often ask how far along I am. It's my
first pregnancy and I was under the
impression you don't show this much this
early your first time around, but I do
guess everyone is different. Does the
size of my belly now , and as I get
farther along help determine the size of
the baby at birth?
Maybe this is a silly question but i'm
sort of going into this whole thing blind
as a bat!

Not at all. Your baby is still very small
right now. Most of what is poking out is
fluid and flesh. Especially since you
have a smaller build, you're going to show
a bit more dramatically than someone of a
larger build might. Your baby will begin
to really pack the weight on in the last
trimester - the longer s/he stays in, the
more weight s/he will gain. But right
now? Tiny tiny tiny.
If you're small and your partner is small,
your child will probably be small. If
your partner isn't small, it's a toss-up.
My husband and I are both slender, and our
daughter was less than 7 pounds at birth.
She's one of the smallest 5 month olds out
there! But at the end of my pregnancy, my
tummy was huge!

i didn't start showing noticeably until I
was about 35 weeks, at the end I wasn't
huge but people could tell I was pregnant
and my baby weighed almost 8 1/2 pounds.

I have a little bump and I am 14 weeks
pregnant everyone is just different. But
it depends I suppose on your size and the
size of the babys father.
This is my first pregnancy and I am quite
small as well.
