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.

i started getting uncomfortable in my clothes a t about nine weeks. I am now 15 weeks and have a nice little pooch. I Love maternity pants but i cant seem to find many tops that done make me look like i'm wearing a parachute.

I am 8 weeks and feel like I look the same, just in a little different shape. I have gone up and down on the scale from regular to 3 to 6 pounds more and back down again day by day.

With my daughter (who is now close to 5 years old) I did not start showing until I was 5 months along. I started getting uncomfortable with my clothes about 1-2 weeks before that.

I am carrying my second baby now and I am 5 weeks along. Its like I am constantly bloated and I can't button my jeans anymore. I can squeeze them shut but then it starts to hurt. I have been having pelvic pressure and the tight jeans makes the pelvic pressure worse for me.

I thought I was just imagining things and just getting fat but I havnt been eating junk food. Just healthy food. Then I read this forum and seen that alot of people are showing early.

Yes the baby is the size of a grain of rice right now but you also have the fluid around it as well that starts making you puff out.

Oh my gosh. I feel the same way, my belly feels so bloated all the time and then my bbs are so full and sore, I don't feel like myself. I'm only 4-5 weeks also. This is my 4th though. It's going to be a long preg. Hope you're feeling less full! I'm trying to walk more to help relieve the fullness. We'll see if it works.

For my first pregnancy, when people started to really notice I was showing, I was about 16 weeks, but I myself started to notice about 10 weeks.


kelly1987 - July 7th, 2007 12:15 AM

xx_nat4rob_xx - October 22nd, 2007 9:27 AM

people keep saying that it depends on your build..if you are bigger do you show sooner than if you are slim or the other way round? i am 5 1/2 weeks gone..so early days. good luck to you all with your little ones xx


courtney24 - November 4th, 2007 2:29 PM

just_lil_ole_me - November 26th, 2007 4:26 PM

I'm concerned as well....I'll be 26 weeks tomorrow, with my THIRD baby...I've gained a total of two pounds, and I can still wear my jeans with a hairtie around the button...I didn't show at all with my first, but I was young, and thinner. I got a little bigger with my 2nd..but not until way late. Everyone tells me how good I look for how far along I am...I don't FEEL GOOD...I feel like a freak of nature! I see all these baby bellies, I'm SO jelouse. I just look like I had too many friggin' doughnuts! I did start out this pregnancy overweight. I'm 5 ft 10, and pre-pregnancy I weighed in at a whopping 237. At my first appt. at ten weeks, I was down to 222...and my midwife wants me to gain a total of 12 pounds. I'm stuffing my face constantly, but not gaining any weight...there's only ONE little girl in there, so what the heck is going on????
