Should I be showing this much at 9 weeks 2 days pregnant?

Question

I have a big tummy already...I normally have a small frame, I am 5'3" and weighed 130lbs, pre-pregnancy. I now weigh 140lbs. I have a baby belly, but should I be showing this early? I am only pregnant with one. I am already in Maternity pants. Is this normal? Please help girls...

Answer 1

When you are petite you tend to pop out sooner than someone who is taller, for the most part. I am 20 weeks today and I have just started to show. I am 5'11" and have also gained 10lbs. My sis in law is 5'5 and she showed at 3 mos, having gained 12lbs.

We are all different, just relax and enjoy the pregnancy. A little pregnancy weight gain is nothing to worry about. if you are truly concerned ask your doctor if they are concerned at all, if they say not to worry then don't.

I was starting to show before I found out. Unfortunately I found out i had a fibroid in my uterus. The doctor said it wasn't harmful to the baby though but he explained that's why i was looking like I was 4 months but was only 2 months prego. I hope this is not your case because even thought the doc said it wouldn't hurt the baby...of course I'm still worried...GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 3

There is not such thing as normal during pregnancy..I was very small before I was preggers...5'3 123 LB and I have gained 45LB. I eat more than I used to but I eat pretty healthy. If I had only gained 25-35 LB I would have been hungry a lot and that's not good. Just keep in mind that you will want to loose the weight when the baby arrives so don't go crazy. Hope this helps good and luck and contrats!!!

Answer 4

This is normal, because of your very small frame.  The less petite frames usually have more room to accomodate the growing baby.

Answer 5

i am 8weeks and due 4/2/09. I was 140 when i got pregnant and now i am 143 after losing 5lbs in early pregnancy. Is this your first child? Everyone is different so do not compare yourself to anyone and enjoy your pregnancy.

Answer 6

thank goodness i am not alone!! i have just started to wear my maternity pants, but this is my 3rd child and I'm 10 weeks today. i havent gained any weight yet, but my tummy is def. sticking out. i think it just depends on our body structure. congrats on the pregnancy!

Answer 7

Every woman is different and unique in when her pregnancy starts showing.  I think it depends on your body frame, bone structure, size before you got pregnant, etc.  

Answer 8

everyones different you might be as big as your gonna get and only be 7 months into it.

Answer 11

Everyone is different. I'm 20 weeks and I'm wearing maternity pants just because they are comfy but I'm not showing much at all.. In fact I just look bloated (lol). I'm sure your fine not everyone shows at the same time.
