SaraB1105:So I have a strange problem. I'm not as skinny as I once was and my body likes to gain weight in three areas, my butt, my thighs, and my gut. I had a small/medium size gut before I got pregnant, and now I can't tell if I'm showing yet or not! I am 13 weeks today. If it's normal to be showing at this time, I wouldn't mind one bit not hiding my stomach, but if not, I would rather stick to the clothes I have been wearing that flatter my figure a little better. What do you ladies think!?
I'm very thin and started to show around week 11 or so. Everybody is different. I know a lot of people like to say that baby's only a few inches big at this point and can't account for much in the way of belly, and while that is true, your uterus is much, much bigger than 3 inches. Actually, it's more than twice the size it was to start with. So if you're pregnant and you look pregnant, you're showing, in my book. Do whatever you feel comfortable with - you need to feel good in your clothes. (And besides, if somebody notices and asks you if you're pregnant, what are you going to say? "Yes, but this is just bloat and pudge"? Didn't think so.)
