Ok now, does everybody got a ruler or measuring tape? Lol... Take a peice of string and put it around your belly and measure how many inches it is (sorry for those not in the u.S.A. I dont know what you use for measuring, but im sure that we can convert it so we all can know)... The toilet paper is just too big for us to be able to compare... Sorry im just so bored and I want to compare bellys.... Lol... I just want to know how big everybody is... And then we can do this weekly and see how much we grow in a week. Then the not-showing people can do this too and see how much progress they are making. I know, it seems like forever til you get a belly...Lol just tell me if im gettin annoying.

Another way is fondel hight, from the top of your pubic bone to the top of your uterus........ And we do centre meters, there are 2.5 cm to the inch if that helps for any one else that does cm.... Oh and there are 2.2 pounds to the kilogram. Just a little late night conversion.....

I'm only ten weeks so in the morning, you can't even really tell i'm pregnant! I bet I look really funny wearing maternity clothes to work and not showing in the morning! But by the end of the day, you'd think I was four or five months!

I am not pregnant, but my tummy has always been like that. When I get up in the morning it is really nice and flat, but by the time that I eat or drink anything it is sticking out. It even did it when I only weighed 100 pounds. Of course, now I have gained a heck of a lot of weight so it is not ever flat! Goodness I need to diet and work out! Anyone have any motivation tips?
