Answer 1

how far along were you when you started showing?
Around 7months.

how far along were you when you felt the baby move the first time?
Around 3 months was when I could REALLY feel it.

how long were you in labor?
Around 12 hours. Active labor,pushing and all, maybe 30 minutes.
Didn't really feel anything, until the last 30 minutes. I've had back labor with both of my boys, couldn't tell you what a contraction feels like, lol. Was told I was too tough for my own good by my OB.

how big was your baby?
7lbs.7oz., and he was 2 weeks early.

Answer 2

I was 6 months before I started showing.
I felt him move all the time at 3 months.
Labor?? I was 2 weeks late & when they broke my water there was nothing there. I was having contractions according to my monitor that should have been really painful but I did not feel them. They induced me at 11 am. My son's heart kept stopping and they took him by emergency c-section at 7:23 pm. The cord was in a knot and wrapped around his neck. He was fine but his fingernails were black. He was 7lb 2oz. The scare made up for the lack of pain. I also had very little pain afterwards. Except for the "gas pains" Best wishes with your delivery.

Answer 3

I didnt start REALLY showing until I was at the end of my 5th month! Thats when the tell-tale "baby bump" finally showed! Before that it just kinda looked like I was gaining weight and had a little belly, but not really a baby-bump belly! =)

I dont remember how far along I was when i felt my baby kick....I think I felt it a lot sooner than I realized, and just didnt really realize what it was!!

My labor was only 5 hours....I was REALLY lucky with that! My son was 8 lbs. 7 oz....he was 8 days late!!

Good Luck (if you are pregnant) and Congrats (if you just had a baby!!) =)
