I'm not sure if I'm further along than what I think yet, I havent gone to the doctors till next week.Just wondering when everyone else showed. This is my first baby. I missed one period, last few have been just spotting, no telling exactly which one I concieved around. I'm already gaining some weight and my stomach is getting harder.

I am exccited to start wearing maternity clothes, but dont want to start too early. When is a good time for that?
2007-01-08 16:20:24 · update #2
Oh no. Im being careful with what I eat. I dont want to gain too much weight. Before I got pregnant I weighed 145. I'm over 150 now!

ahem, i started wearing maternity clothes at 12 weeks with my 2nd baby. i'm not overweight and all my clothes were well-tailored so as soon as i gained more than 5 lbs., i had to wear bigger clothes. gap and old navy sell these roll panel pants that are actually comfortable before you have a big bump. i'm 15.5 weeks now and i still can't wear the full belly pants, but these roll panel pants are awesome!!! they just have a lot of stretch for the growing body.

I weighed about the same as you - 147. This is my first baby and I didn't start really looking pregnant until after 20 weeks (my uterus was tilted backwards, but when baby got big enough it shifted forward normally). I didn't wear maternity clothes until 20 weeks either, but start wearing them as soon as you feel uncomfortable - it's worth it! I was a little swollen in the early part too. Make sure when you do buy clothes that they will fit you when you get larger and not just when you first start showing. If you can stretch the wardrobe you have now until you really start showing that would be best - I can't fit into some of the maternity clothes I bought at 20 weeks (shirts are too short and the wide belly bands are cutting into me below my belly)
Don't wish it to come too soon - I am now 32 weeks and huge! All my weight is in my belly thank goodness, but I am so tired of people asking if it's only one baby! I weigh 186 now and growing! Good luck to you and baby!

With my first pregnany when I was naked in the mirror I could tell I was pregnant at 20 weeks, no one else could tell till about 28 weeks.
I have never known anyone to wear maternity clothes prior to the 2nd trimester! Also the adveradge weight gain during the 1st 12 weeks is under 5 lbs many woman lose weight (morning sickness etc) the 1st trimester. Good Luck

Every women is different, I started showing at 3 months with the first one, and 4 months with the last one. It also depends on if u have given in to the " I can eat whatever I want I'm pregnant" phase. Just kidding, but I did it.

Most women start to show at the beginning of the 2nd trimester/after 3 months or so. I remember my stomach feeling hard - that is because your uterus has expanded. A sonogram could help determine how far along you are.

you should probably go to the doctor right away. especially if your stomach is already getting hard. i hope you're being responsible and taking your folic acid pills and stuff. i didnt start showing or having a harder stomach til 6 months.

every pregnancy is different. i am about 6mo along with my 3rd baby, and i don't even look like i am pregnant.
i would take it as a blessing to start showing so early :)
just make sure you keep up with your doctors appts, and you will be fine
take care and good luck!
