i am 9 weeks and already showing. I am quite surprise because i am in pretty good shape

sahightower · August 2011

Same here!!! I can't believe how big I look even though I haven't gained any weight yet.

rightjet · August 2011

I keep reading that my boobs are supposed to be bigger, but they're not. My belly sure is though! I'm kind of surprised that I'm showing so early, although I'm very petite, so I guess there's no where else for it to go but out. My jeans have been very uncomfortable sitting at my desk all day, so I went out and got a belly band. Hope it works, not quite ready to invest in maternity clothes yet.

katieluke1983 · August 2011

I've gained a couple of lbs...could be my obsession with potato chips!

9 weeks tomorrow and Im starving all the time...my boobs are definitely getting bigger and are really sore....

MegSowers · August 2011

I'm 9 weeks, 3 days! I, too, feel like I'm showing, is it bloating maybe? I feel like my hips and lower abdomen are widening. The first symptom I had besides the missed period was sore boobs that grew in week 5 and 6. They are less sore now and haven't grown since. I was small before, so maybe that's why they hurt so much.We had our first U/S at 8 weeks and saw the heart beat. Trying not to get too excited, as I know much can happen in the next couple weeks.

MommyToBeO4O612 · September 2011

today i turn 9 weeks :] & omg , the past 8 weeks were qreat , no symptoms , nothing but now my belly is stretching & i feel sick . ughh i wishh i can just hurry up & give birth !

meekers1980 · September 2011

i've been rushing this whole pregnancy, but not b/c of illness. i just want to get to week 13 so i can announce to a few more people. i know you can announce whenever, but i want to wait as long as possible. long as my sore boobs don't give me away.

kjcrosswhite · September 2011

I am 9 weeks, 2 days. I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one beginning to show so early! I went in for my 8 week U/S and doctor said I'm actually 9 weeks and bumped up my due date. One week closer to the second trimester! I'm also more bloated and nauseated than I have been...

kvasnakcutie · September 2011

I can't figure out to make my own post, so I am commenting off of kjcrosswhite, sorry. I am 9 weeks 3 days today and don't feel pregnant. Yeah I still have sore boobs and stuff but I just blatantly forget that I am pregnant. Like lifting or eating certain things, I get the "oh, yeah I'm pregnant" thought. Does anyone else feel like this or am I just crazy?

NDIAYE214 · September 2011

i've been sick and tired since day one cant wait til 1st trimester is over im tired of waking up three times a night for no reason and having to stop half way to work to pee. plus side to all of this IM HAVING A BABY!!!!!!

caseywase · September 2011

kvasnakcutie: I do too!! I feel like it's fake, I am not sick, my boobs have stopped hurting, and I just feel like it hasn't really sunk in! I keep thinking I'm gonna go to the doc and they'll tell me "Haha!! Just kidding!!" I have my first doc appt next week, I think it will really feel "real" once I have the ultra sound...

tanyasaur · September 2011

I don't really feel pregnant either. My boobs hurt for a little while as they got swollen and grew (a whole cup size, I might add), but they are only sore off and on. I do not have any morning sickness or nausea. I am, however, very bloated, tired, and off and on hungry. I feel like I'm showing already, but I've always been kind of curvy, so I think it's just the bloating doing me in.

meatballbennett · September 2011

I am 9 weeks and 1 day, for the last couple of days my stomach and back have been itching me constantly, anyone else having this symptom?

MegDO80 · September 2011

Hi Ladies,

I am constantly tired, breast are HUGE and sore, and occasionally nauseous/ headachs-although this is super fun I am looking forward to its subsiding in the next trimester!

We have told our immediate family BUT I am dying keeping such a HUGE secret. I am such an upfront person and a crappy liar...anyone else struggling with feeling like a bit of a sneek? I do want to wait to tell everyone until after the first trimester and second u/s-its my first and I am nervous but I feel sneeky which I am really feeling torn about...

kaylamarieee · September 2011

I am still not sure if I am pregnant, but if i am im about 9 weeks. i just wish i knew what was going on. I am 39 days late for my period but all test say negative. im waiting for my dr to call back and tell me whether or not they will give me an ultrasound.

erica arrington · September 2011

You need lotion. The itching will add stretch marks. I'm a quake sight from my first baby.

stepnee1 · September 2011

Kvasnakcutie:

I have the same feelings sometimes. I've seen the heartbeat, as I have already had 2 ultrasounds, but I don't think it has sunk in. I still think I'm going to wake up one day and this will all be a dream! My belly just feels bloated, like before my period, and my boobs aren't nearly as sore as they were. I forget all the time, and I'm hoping it sinks in soon. Don't worry, you aren't crazy!!

Dilarmstrong · September 2011

My thoughts on keeping the exciting secret, the people that you want to tell but arnt telling are those who would be there to support you and comfort along with your imediate family if you do have complications..... When we got the positive preg. test my husband called everyone on his phone contact list it freaked me out because I thought OH NO now everyone knows and what if it is ectopic or not a viable pregnancy!! But really thinking about it made me realize that they would find out about my possible miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy if it happend and would rather them be there for me the entire time instead of just when the hard part happend.

Hope this helps...... I told everyone I care about and their excitment and support for us is wonderful...

Dilarmstrong · September 2011

My husband and I have wanted babies for 6 years, finally we are preg. It is such a wonderful blessing!! I just wanted to share what the past 8 - 9 weeks have been like... Tender breast! My bust size has grown 3 inches somedays they are less tender than others. Around week 7 I became very fatigued and will sleep nearly 11 hr each night and still feel as if I could lay down and sleep anytime, anywhere. My husband and I went in for my first appointment at 7 weeks 4 days and saw and listened to the heartbeat, THE MOST amazing sound I have ever heard. I never expected that moment to be so significant I mean I knew that it would be really neat to hear but I felt the bond at that moment! I only get nauseous when I am hungry or if I eat too much. Thankfully no morning sickness .... yet so lets hope I continue to only have tender breast, fatigue and only nauseous if im hungry!! Hope you all are as excited as I am to start showing.... I feel like I am "kind of" showing but guess it is probably more bloating than showing and I started with extra belly fat sooo......... bring on the baby bump!!

HouseWifey · September 2011

Could it be twins? I am on my second pregnancy. the first was with twins and I started showing really early... just a thought

Good luck and God Bless.

Dilarmstrong · September 2011

Twins didnt cross my mind..... It would be interesting. I am just so thankful we are finally pregnant. I feel so blessed! Seemed as if everyone and anyone but me could get pregnant. Thank you and same to you!

gmt1006 · September 2011

Wow, this is all so weird to me...does anyone else feel like you aren't YOU anymore?! Feel like I am viewing my life from outside of myself now

Kind of odd, but finally getting used to the thought of being a mom. The tiredness is starting to subside somewhat and I know what to do to feel better. My only complaint is the GAS! LOL. Please tell me that you are experiencing indigestion and other unpleasant gasiness?? Also, I don't know why, but I'm showing? Feels like I have a belly already, which is weird considering my baby is the size of an olive!

irisheyednut · October 2011

Gmt1006, YES!!! I'm 9 weeks, 6 days preggers with #1, and I'm so impossibly gassy/bloated right now, all I can say is thank God both my husband and I have an excellent sense of humor!! lol Interesting how symptoms differ...I started getting queasy and developed motion sickness the DAY AFTER probable conception. And I've been wretchedly queasy feeling til about a couple of days ago, and *POOF!* it vanished. That's about the time my boobs started hurting like no other, though...seriously, they feel as heavy as bricks and so bruised feeling, like someone just walloped each boob with a baseball bat, though they haven't gotten any bigger yet. And the fatigue set in about that time, too...I can't hardly make it through a day anymore without a couple of naps, and they're long naps, too, on top of my usual 8 hrs of sleep at night. Crazy...another weird thing I've noticed is one day, something will smell/look/taste utterly delicious, and then the next, I absolutely hate it and it makes me nauseous, and then the next day, I might think it's okay but not really care about it one way or another. Anyone else do that?? This is one heck of an experience, and while LO a-brewin' wasn't exactly planned this early, we are absolutely thrilled--seriously, I just think about the blessing that's turning my body into a total hormonal train wreck, and I smile. I smile REAL big! =D

katieqq · October 2011

im so glad im not the only one ( although im not petite but not huge lol) im already going to have to go get a new bra and i cant button my pants at all. Im not ready to wear maternity clothes at all either but the belly band sounds pretty good!

Jay-Ro · October 2011

I'm 9 weeks 1 day today and I've noticed a little bulge and snuggness in the waistline also. Just got a bella band so that I can leave my pants unbuttoned and slightly unzipped without everyone noticing. It's AWESOME. :c) Also, not only have I had to get a larger cup size, but a larger band size in my bra as well! Just read in a pregnancy yoga book that our ribcage and lungs expand so we can take in more oxygen for baby. Makes sense to me, I suppose. FYI if you see an informercial for the Ahh Bra or if you happen to be in Walgreens (they sell it there too) GET IT!! It is soooo comfey and supportive without being too tight or constrictive for sore breasts and it only costs 20 bux. :c)

MAUIMAMA0608 · October 2011

Hi! I can completely relate. It took my husband and I 8 years and 2 miscarriages until we finally became pg with my oldest son. He was born in 2006. We had another son in 2008. This past year I have had 2 additional miscarriages but happy to say that we are pregnant again. I am starting my 9th week tomorrow and everything seems to be going really well. They put put me on preogesterone and baby aspirin treatment. So far so good. I go in for my first appointmet in a couple days. Hope to see and/or hear the heartbeat. My nauseousness is slowly going away now. And my boobs hurt off and on. But still so exhausted all the time. Can't wait to get through this first trimester and then I can breath a little easier. But I am thankful for the symptoms because I know everything is Ok. I am already using a belly band with my pants and am showing a little. Can't wait to show more though. Love being pregnant. It is such a miracle. Blessing to you!!!!

sapatter · October 2011

I am 9 weeks and am already starting to show! The MD even said it would be 4 months until it was visible. I am a 00P so I guess it doesn't have anywhere else to go, haha. It is such a blessing to see that little baby bump, though. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that was surprised by showing so early. What a miracle to hear it's little heartbeat this week, I couldn't be any more grateful. I love every tired, nauseous moment of being pregnant. We couldn't be any more blessed! Enjoy it!

hotdiva27 · October 2011

Like most of you im showing already have sore boobs and still having sickness I have 3 kids already but this pregancy is way different from the others. Im ready for this trimester to be over. Im 9 weeks 2 days.

prestonsmomma · October 2011

Finally 9 weeks and starting to feel human again. This is baby number 3 for me, and Im already poking out a bit! Hope the next month goes by fast. Good luck and God Bless!

lauraandjohn'sfirst · October 2011

I am 9 weeks and 3 days and I cannot believe how tired I am all the time! I have a prenatal yoga class tonight and I am a little nervous because I am so stiff from all the napping I have been doing!

Kray21 · November 2011

I don't feel pregnant at all, I might have gained a couple pounds but im already a chunky monkey

but I haven't had morning sickness or anything. Which is good and according to the ultra sound I pregnant. I just still can't believe it! Anyone feel the same?

bellc1980 · November 2011

Same here! I am 9 weeks and 3 days also and haven't had any morning sickness or anything. I totally forget and sometimes think it would be nice to have some symptoms just to know everything was progressing as it should. I do have sore boobs though.

cdthurgood · November 2011

I'm on week 9 and I think I have been starting to feel less nauseated which is really nice! I have been pretty miserable for the first while!! I am hoping I will be able to work now! Probably what is bugging me the most about the way I look is that I was already a little overweight before I was pregnant and I have no idea if I'm showing or not since I already had a little pudge!! It's driving me crazy haha but I did lose weight for the first month or so of being pregnant so maybe I am showing!

I am praying this month goes by quickly, and that I am not in danger of the "M" word (miscarriage!!!). I have been so emotional I am hoping that calms down during the second trimester, that would be super nice! I hope everything works out well for all of you too! This is my first and I am so so excited and nervous!

Britnseth2006 · November 2011

Hello Everyone!! I too am 9 weeks along. This is my second and is going SOOOO much better than my last. I had all day sickness til i was 6 months along, this one im just constant queasy n NOTHING helps. I try eating little meals but as soon as the food is gone im already queasy again. The last couple of days have been better tho. I FEEL like im showing already as well ( i hear you show sooner with your second).....well just wanted to say hi and really nervous bout having TWO LOL Very excited tho!!!!

BrookeKrasniqi · November 2011

I am at the start of week 9 and 1 day. This is our first baby. Heard the heartbeat last week and it was just amazing. Made this entire process feel more real. This past week its been very difficult to eat because I have had acid reflux since I was 18. I can't take my normal meds and tums only helps for a little bit. I am showing a bit as well. Which is very weird for me because I am 5ft and have always been as size 0. My husband is 6'1 so that could be the reason... my baby might be huge lol. I wanted to wish everyone the BEST of luck in this amazing process and hope you all have a great pregnancy

babyopper · November 2011

I am too which is really exciting! All I have been eating for breakfast is peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I don't crave for anything else the rest of the day but I do force myself to eat. No more fitting into my Hudson jean's and just purchased maternity ones on ebay. Good deal cuz they are not cheap!

libeya · November 2011

Just turned 9 weeks and my symtoms have nearly disappeared. I know I should be grateful, but I am SO scared that I am miscarrying. We heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks, and I have another appointment on Tuesday, but the wait is killing me. I had a previous miscarriage (before the heartbeat), but now these lack of symptoms is making me a nervous wreck. Are the rented dopplers worth it? I am a bigger girl, so will they work?

WoodardGangwere · November 2011

I'm not a doctor, but I did read that the likelihood of a miscarriage greatly decreases after the heartbeat is located. I wouldn't worry because stress can be harmful to the baby and yourself. Just take a deep breath and focus on eating right, getting exercise, and enjoying the moment

libeya · November 2011

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully that will make me relax. Smile

katiebiscay · November 2011

I am 9 weeks 2 days. Around week 4 I started becoming exhausted, which hasn't subsided yet. Around week 5 the nausea kicked in, and has gotten worse over the past month- i'm on Zofran which seems to help me keep some things down (cheerios, crackers and apple products). I've lost about 20 pounds in the last 4 weeks (I was a healthy weight at the start) from vomiting and dehydration, but through regular IV treatments I feel that i'm starting to get over it. My boobs did go up one size between weeks 5-7, but that has stopped for the time being and they've even gone down a bit from the weight loss (which is actually a blessing because I started out at a D). Overall, I am very excited for the baby and to be 2/3 of the way through my first trimester! Because i've been so sick, I have had the opportunity to have 2 ultrasounds already- which were both perfect. I was able to see the heartbeat at 7 weeks, and hear it at 8.5-- baby is all good! So exciting

. Not showing yet, but I think I will here shortly because of how much belly fat i've lost.
