Hey, when I was about 20 and got pregnant I did not show until about 24 weeks... I was 5'3" and weighed 120 lbs. I had a little bump but nothing exciting... I did not show a nice belly until I was about 6 months pregnant. Good luck! Smile

Haha it will start off as you feel like you ate a big lunch. I literally woke up one day and there was a bump... haha. I was very excited to start showing but then again when I did, I was ready to return to normal (and I did not go back to my slim 120 lbs, as you see in my picture I still have a slight bump on my belly that will never go away) Congrats!

Walking is GREAT! Make sure you stay hydrated while you are walking. I also recommend Denise Austin's Pregnancy Workout Video. Don't overdo it. Avoid eating junk. Most people think they can eat whatever because they are pregnant then they are disappointed when they cannot go back to their size before.

There's a great light weight workout in "The 30- Minute PRegnancy Workout Book" by Anna Aberg. It has specialized workouts by the trimester, nutritional notes and personal expierence notes that come in really handy.
