Hey Sian why are you wanting to hide your pregnancy?? are you thinking of giving your baby up for adoption? Being pregneat is a wonderful thing and not sharing it with anyone must be really hard. Do you not have understanding parents? If you need to talk im here.. When are you due? and your baby needs nutrition so don't not eat just becuse you think it iwll make your baby smaller. You need ot eat when your body tells you to eat. You can eat healthy to not gain as much weight. but please do eat.

Well I am now 7 1/2 weeks along I don't really see any difference in my weight, or protrusion from my tummy yet. I can't wait to be nice and round!! I just experience cramping sorta like my period is coming on. This will be my 1st child. I can't wait!!!

Ok I'm 20 weeks and I'm just now starting to look pregnant. My doctor said when you start off skinny before preg then you usually show earlier. If you are on the bigger side like I was it takes a little longer usually around 18-20 weeks. But everyone is different and is going to show differently.

Tiffy- If you are currently on your period then it is not likely you are pregnant. But once you get off try taking a pregnancy test or even going to the dr. to get tested because it might not show up this early.

I am 7 months pregnant with 4th preg 3rd baby (had miscarriage last August only month along) and I just started really showin few weeks ago...WIth my first 2 pregs I started showing at 7 and 8 months.Depends on your body on how fast u will show.I have found if u are tall and thin alot of times takes longer but again everyone is different

I'm just coming into my 12th week now, and I've had off and on bloating!! I think I can notice a difference in my shape, but my husband says I dont really look any different...I can't wait to have a bump :-)

I am 20 weeks and look & feel FAT. I have gained 20 lbs so far. People who do not know me cannot tell I'm PG. very frustrating!

I am in my 3rd pregnancy and only 5 weeks but I swear I am already showing! Am I crazy?

This is my 2nd child and I am 16 weeks and look 6 months pregnant. Everybody I know says the same thing.."you must have your dates wroing?" (which I don't) and "are you sure you aren't having twins?". With my first I had to wear my fat clothes around 3 months, nevermind maternity clothes which I am in right now. Everybody is different and every pregnancy is different. But I do wonder if I will be able to move by 7 months..LOL!


lil_cutie - August 16th, 2006 9:37 AM

i'm 6wks 1 day preg with twins and ive already started showin


KSosa4021 - August 16th, 2006 8:56 PM

at 6 weeks the baby is the size of rice? how could u show? I mean, i believe u all, but its crazy. This is my second pregnancy... I am due 10/7, and I started to look a little bloated about 10 weeks but I didnt look preg. My first I showed later like 4 months. everyone is different...


meghanlee - September 6th, 2006 11:58 AM

I am 11 weeks with my first pregnancy and I just look and feel fat. The only thing that has grown is my bra size! I have not gained any weight but I look and feel bloated all the time. I am looking forward to not feeling fat and instead looking pregnant.


veroki - October 31st, 2006 8:09 PM

i am gojng to be 10 weeks and i am overweight so id love for people to think im pregnant instead ot just fat. i do have a pouch and it was smaller before i got pregnant, i havent gain any weight either. i i hear that the skinnier you are the sooner youll show. for those of us who started out fat its going to take us awhile to show. im alrady in maternity clothes though and if im wearing a fitted shirt i think i look pregnant. but other peoiplke may think that girls so fat she looks pregnant. who knows. all i know is im uncomfortable right now with my weight and i stick that belly out as much as possible so i at least can have an excuse for having a belly now! lol!

Veroki, I have actually heard the opposite, that thin women show later. I guess it doesnt make too much sense so maybe you are right. ha.
