I've only gained like 4pnds and am not really showing yet, so why are my legs and lower back aching sometimes? I thought that only started once you get a big belly and it's further along? 1st pregnancy!!!

It's common not to gain weight or start showing until late in your first pregnancy. Get used to the leg and lower back pains...your body is adjusting to the pregnancy.

With my first I didn't really show until my 7th month i think because I am so tall, but my back and legs ached from really early on. You have pressure where you never have had before. If you think back I bet you had a back ache during your periods. Your legs may be aching from water retention, are they swelling? Try to take a few mins several times a day to put your feet up, I know this seems like a simple thing but it will really help. Take care of yourself soon enough you will have a little one who is taking up all of your time and you need to be ready. Good Luck and congratulations on your upcoming precious arrival.

The pounds usually start adding up around 5 - 5 1/2 months. So don't worry about that. As far as the backpain it's normal

Yes, that is normal, I did not start showing till I was six months pregnant. It is usually like that with your first pregnancy.

It really doesn't matter how much weight you gain.Well it does....anyways the baby is growing inside of you regardless.
