I am 6 weeks pregnant with my third. Is it normal to gain the tummy flesh so soon? My docs appointment isnt until the first of Feb so i was just wondering if anyone else looked pregnant before the baby was big enough to show it lol. Any stories or opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My first baby I was 105 pounds when i was preggy, I didn't show until 6 months. My second child (now 6 weeks old) I started showing almost right after i peed on the stick. I assume its from the bloating and water retension. I thought it was pretty exciting. It is perfectly normal and congradulations on the new little one.

I did the same thing. Don't worry. Your body is adjusting and preparing for the next 8 months. I wouldn't worry about it. Just try and eat as healthy as you can. Because I gained too much late in my pregnancy from too much fast food and pizza. I should have eat more healthy foods.
Although I did start eating squash (which I hated before getting pregnant!) though during my pregnancy. I craved Cheerios and milk too. Never craved that pickles and ice cream stuff...thank goodness.
Good luck with your baby. Your life is going to be filled with more love than you can ever imagine!!! Children are a blessing!!!
All the best to you and your little one.

You probably will show earlier but 6 weeks is far too early for baby to be the cause - I'm sure it's just intestinal bloating at this point.

This totally happened to me. With my third I was in my pregnancy clothes really early too.
One theory is that the body remembers being pregnant and the stomach muscles relax sooner and we gain weight differently, all in preparation for the baby.
Good luck with your pregnancy.

Normal! All those muscles and ligaments remember where they once were and stretch easier. Plus you are bloating and your hormones are helping with that. Take it from me, I have had 4 pregnancies (last one was twins) and showed earlier with each one. Imagine how I looked with the twins! Yikes!

I have heard that with your second or third one, woman start to show a lot sooner than with their first. It is completely normal! Good Luck!
