I have two boys and with the first one I didn't show until the last months of being pregnant, with the second I showed earlier. I gradually put on weight and had one month where I gained huge weight. My first son was 9 pounds and the second was 8. If your really concerned about not gaining weight or showing you can always address this to your doctor and see if they think it's normal for you. They could look into your diet if they think it is a concern but if they haven't mentioned anything you are prob. okay. Your still very early and you could start putting on weight and showing anytime. Every woman is different, no woman's body is alike to another. Good luck to you and your baby boy!

I am 24 weeks pregnant and am showing and have been since 16 weeks. However, I have been told that some women show later or earlier than others. My best friend showed at 12 weeks. We all carry different, and u cant really judge how you should be at this point according to other women. As far as gaining weight, I believe you should have gained about 8-10 pounds by now. However, i did have a friend who lost 20 pounds because she got so sick for so long. Then towards the end, she gained that 20 back. But her hubby gained about 45 lbs. for her!!! lol I would check with your Ob and see if it may be a concern. If they havent said anything about it yet, apparently they arent worried too much about it......that is assuming you are under an OB's care. If you arent.....GO!!!!!!! gl to you and congrats!!!!!

I am a first time mom carrying a boy too.
Right now I am 30 weeks. I just looked a little chubby in the stomach until last week, then my stomach just kinda popped out overnight and seems to get a little bigger everyday. Even though the Dr said my belly was normal, I was really scared my baby wasn't growing at first because my stomach was so tiny and every other pregnant woman with the same due date was bigger than me; but every woman is different and every baby grows differently.
As long as you are eating enough and eating healthy, everything should be fine.

Ok I think that it depends on your body type. My example I found out around 6 months that I was preg, I hadnt even realized that I missed my period and I wasnt showing, had headaches but doctors took every test they could think of except a pregnancy test. So I found out and then by the time I had my first son I had gained almost 40lbs. Same with the second so it really just depends, I am small too I am 5'6 110 lbs.
Good luck with your pregnancy and dont worry because everyone is different!

It really is all about the individual & your body type. For you, this is probably very normal. With my first child (a boy) I gained weight pretty quickly and looked like I swallowed a pumpkin by the time I was 7 months along. First time moms typically don't show as quick as subsequent-time moms. If your body hasn't started the baby bump yet - consider yourself lucky! Less $ to spend on maternity clothes :P

I'm at 20 weeks so far and have only gained about 5 pounds. We don't know the sex of the baby yet. We are finding out next week, though! I've heard if you don't gain around this time it hits you all at once and you gain lots of weight in a matter of weeks. We shall see! Good luck!

I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was already 5 months. I had a normal period, no weight gain, no morning sickness. Nothing!!
I was hit by a car, and in the ER they did a MRI and found "something in my uterus". I thought I had cancer or something. I saw my doctor and she confirmed my pregnancy. I didn't show at all until I was 7 months. I delivered a healthy 8lb baby boy on my due date. I gained 28lb my whole pregnancy, and lost 25 of it before I even left the hospital.

lol-that really is an old wives tale.
all pregnancies and babies are different--babies develop and grow differently inside.
weight gain during pregnancy depends on a lot of different things--not whether or not you are carrying a boy (or girl)

By the time your 7 months you'll have a belly trust me. I've had 2 boys.
