Introduction/question. Posted: 02-02-07 21:33pm
Ok. So im new. 24 weeks pregnant
tomorrow and its a baby girl. Anyway
question is a little weird.. Im generally
a little bigger, and a little concerned
that im not gaining enough weight or
actually showing that im pregnant. I feel
big but not like its where it should be
compared to some other people that I have
seen. Heres the weird part.. If I suck
in the gut.. Lol.. Then it doesnt look
like im pregnant at all.. But shouldnt
the bump stick out and make it atleast
look like theres something there. Dont
know if I should worry or if im just
worried and over reacting because its my
first pregnancy, and that I dont know
whats going on. Any advice is good .

Congrats and welcome!
Everyone shows differently. I wasn't
noticeably pregnant until about 35 weeks,
then when I was nobody could believe I
only had a month to go. Even though I
wasn't showing I was always measuring
right on or even ahead at my appointments.
Does your doctor measure you? Do you
feel the baby moving? I'm sure everything
is fine!

I can feel her moving .. Kicks like
crazy. At the first ultrasound the baby
was measuring 21 weeks when I was only
19.. And there is no way I could have
been farther along when what I thought.
And then second ultrasound which was 2
days ago they said she was about the same
weight . .. So I was a little worried.
Not to mention I havent gained any weight
at all. But knowing other people didnt
start showing alot until later on makes it
a little better

I think if your doc were concerned that
she wasn't gaining enough weight, I would
think they would have mentioned something.
If they were concerned that you were
not gaining, they would question your
diet, maybe prescribe a high calorie drink
with vitamins and tell you things to eat.
If your concerned you should mention it
to your doc. Lots of people don't show
until the end.
Good luck to you and your baby!!!

needless to say. My dr is sort of the
type to rush everything. But I mean im
sure that everything is ok. I asked her
about the weight issue and she said its
probably better that im not gaining alot
because with my body type its hard for me
to lose the weight and maintain my
weight... And even harder with baby
weight. But im still concerned so I have
been eating like crazy

Im sure its fine, especially if your doc
thinkis its ok
im "larger" too (i perfer to say fat but
people seem to get mad at that) and I dont
show too much, its hard for me to suck it
in anymore, but I think thats just the way
im carrying, and I just gained about 5
pounds (but im pretty sure thats because
im very constipated (sorry, I know that
was an overshare lol) im 25 weeks on
tuesday
