Hi there! I am in my 8th week, first pregnancy at age 37 (I feel OLD). Just wondering when I might start needing different clothes. I am average as far as weight...not underweight or overweight. Still wearing normal clothes. Any ideas?

I am 15w 1d with my first and I was also "average" size before pregnancy. I started showing a very little around 9 weeks but I just looked a little chunky for a few weeks. When I hit the 14w mark though, I really was able to notice my "baby bump."

Traci,
I just turned 38 and this is my first pregnancy too, so I feel for you. I'm not sure how you count weeks (from conception or last period), but I'm 5 or 7 weeks depending on which method you use. I'm curious about showing as well. I've been very bloated and have a samll bump already. Isn't it way too soon to show???

Hi guys.....I am 33, first pregnancy/ 6 wks 5 days..from the first day of my LMP so...I already have a big bump, and cannot button any of my pants. I had a super flat flat stomach before, which is long gone, but was really suprised it would happen so fast! I think we are all just different??? Congrats to you both!

Good news and bad news. Before I was pregnant my stomach was flat. At 8 weeks the buldge was huge and I outgrew my clothes. I was not empting my bowels and this was causing the buldge. My doctor put me on Citracal (sp) 1/2 the dose once a day to get me regular and at 10 weeks I am barely showing. But everything growing and doing well. The buldge was mostly having full bowels because they relax when you are pregnant because of the hormones and even though you go to the bathroom everyday it might not be the same as before.
