yeah well im pretty small
im 5'6 and 102 lbs
im 16 weeks 5 days and barely getting a little pooch
alot of girls say you hips stick out? which would be nice considering i have small hips and wouldnt mind for them to widen up a bit

and im really dissapointed with my butt
Sad it looks flatter and its NEVER looked like that before

yeah .. mine did the complete opposite..
your hips will probably move when you get closer to make it easier for the baby to come out.

dont worry you have lots of time left and your body will change so much even if you dont think it now.

I think it all depends on the person and the pregnancy, because they usually say for a girl u get weight all over and for a boy you get it just in the belly but when i had my son i gained so much weight in my thighs and butt... they are covered in stretchmarks and this time they say i am having a girk but i have just a lil belly... so i think it all depends on the person... Very Happy

i hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but maybe your butt looks smaller because you are getting bigger in other areas(?) yes your hips do widen during pregnancy because your joints loosen up in preparation for the delivery of the baby. you have hormones called relaxin and progesterone that cause this. your feet can also get bigger because of it. it's also why you might be more clumsy when you are pregnant. everyone carries their babies differently it just depends on your body shape, which baby it is, and the size of the baby and how it happens to lie in your womb.

I wish mine would shrink. I'm 27 weeks and I just keep getting bigger....as expected. I visited my mom last week, keep in mind I hadn't seen her in maybe 3 weeks, and when I walked through the door the first thing out of her mouth was my gosh you've gotten huge. Talk about a lovely greeting. Though my doctors are happy, due to me having lost so much wait during the begining of my pregnancy, it just came on so fast...now i'm growing out of my maternity pants. Talk about a bummer....it'll take a lot of work to lose all this weight after the baby.

I only wish that pregnancy would have blessed me with a smaller butt! It actually did the opposite for me. For my first pregnancy I didn't wear maternity clothes until I was 7 and a half months pregnant. With this pregnancy I started wearing them when I was 2 months. I guess you don't have much of a pooch because this is your first pregnancy, but don't you worry it will come, oh it will come lol

Yeah It Depends On Your Body
I'm 24 weeks and nothings as big and round as my butt, and I'm having a girl. I have noticed my breast get fuller but not really bigger. I think nothings bigger than my butt. But in the black culture that's not a bad look. My fiance loves it.........The only thing that isn't get big is my stomach.... But i have time right ladies. They say I'll get really big in the 6th month is that right?
