Tummy Growing Fast Posted: 08-04-05 14:41pm
Okay, according to the first day of my
last period, I am 5 weeks along. My last
period was irregular, but my test were
negative up until 2 days after my first
missed period.
I look pregnant. Everyone can tell. My
stomach is sticking out and hard. Even
my mom said to me today "omg are u sure
your only 5 weeks?" but even if I were 9
weeks, would I be this big? I have
gained about 3-4 lbs this month, only in
my stomach. My pants dont fit me
anymore.
The strange thing is, my breasts are
bigger, but not sore, and I have had very
very very little morning sickness. I go
to the doctor for the first time at the
beginning of september. Someone told me
that since this is my 2nd pregnancy, that
I may show sooner... But how normal is
this?? Should I be worried??

Im 18 weeks, almost 19 weeks and I dont
look big at all. I have a tiny belly,
really tiny. Some people didnt know I was
pregnant until someone had said something.
I tell my bf that maybe its just cuz we
are gonna have a tiny baby. Im not really
a big girl either, I am 5'8 and weighed
135lbs before I got pregnant and now im
fat! I weigh 150! And I dont really look
pregnant. I have a belly, but not really
that big. Yesterday I went swimming in my
bfs sisters pool and you know how pressure
from water kinda makes ur tummy feel like
ur suckin it in, well I felt my belly and
its little! Makes me worried..Ne one else
like that?
Some girls actually don't start showing
until 6 months!
And if your showing when your early, I
dont think its nothing to be worried
about, i'm 3 months and have a little
pooch, which is pretty normal.

With my 1st one I didn't show until I was
about 7 months along and that is no joke.
I wasn't over weight or anything. She was
a big baby too. With my 2nd I was
wearing maternity clothes by the time I
was 3 months. My stomach had already
started to really harden. He was a big
baby too. When I was 6 months people
thought I was due anyday. And I was all
belly and butt. Lol

The second one always pokes out faster
than the 1st one. And it is possible that
your a little farther along than you
think. Especially with that boob thing..
I grew a cup size in about 2 weeks.. And
if your not having morning sickness..
That just means your one of the lucky
ones..

Thanks guys!
I had a little morning sickness today, I
actually threw up lol. Another thing
that worries me is my weight. 3 days ago
I weighed myself at 154 lbs and now I
weigh 158 lbs today. I have been eating
more through-out the day in smaller meals,
but not enough to gain 4 lbs in 3 days..
I know I have alot of water weight and
bloating, but I feel my stomach is just
getting bigger!
I am going to give a local doctor a call
and see if they can work with me. My
insurance doesnt kick in until the
beginning of september but I feel like I
really need the advice and guidance of a
doctor right now... Yeesh!

ok ladies..I have you all beat ..You think
gaining only 35 lbs is large?..Huh?.....I
went from 115lbs to 180 lbs. How do you
like them apples?..It could be alot worse.
And that weight gain wasn't from
mcdonalds or wendy's either.
My baby was almost 10 lbs. I lost 25 by
the time I left the hospital 3 days
later..And I am currently 125. I think
i'll stay around this weight..Cause I
looked like a ethiopian before. I am
5'4. I feel really good, and I have
curves in all the right spots!!
When it comes to pregnancy..Don't worry
about the weight your putting on. It's
all for your baby, and do whatever it
takes to make sure its healthy. I
worried and whined the whole 9 months and
didn't enjoy it, becuase of it. Looking
back I kick myself because I have this
beautiful child, and didn't enjoy him in
my belly at all. I feel really
guilty...But..Like I said, hes beautiful
and super healthy so if I gained 100 lbs,
it wouldn't have mattered in the end.
Good luck mama's!!

i am 5 months pregnant and I wake up some
mornings and dont have a bump and some
mornings I look 7 months pregnant it all
depends where the placenta is and what
postion the baby is lying but if your only
5 weeks pregnant whick means that you are
3 weeks after conception id say it is
water retention and fluid. Your baby is
no bigger than your thumb at this point.
