Hmmm! I'm a big???

I'm gonna post a pic of my be lly in a few minutes.  I'm 14+ weeks but people think I'm further along.  Is too big or is it just right?? I mean I've only gained 3 pounds since my lmp and up to my second ob visit which was on 10/23.  But you can be honest.

Second (or third etc) pregnancies tend to show up sooner since your abdominal muscles have already had a good stretching out once before.  The next time you are pregnant, they don't hold up as well and let the uterus fall forward more easily so you 'pop'.  Everyone is different even if it is a second pregnancy.  As long as you are healthy, it doesn't matter what the size of your belly is =)  And that goes for women who don't show too!

I sometimes tell those mean people "I'm pregnant what's your excuse" LOL, works everytime. I'm 5'4, but I'm in love with my belly.  I don't care what people say

Latrice: I didn't have a big belly before getting pregnant.  I don't maybe it is because this is my third (second ended in m/c)

Don't worry hon, I started showing at 3 months.  I was clearly pregnant.  I had a flat belly that once I found out I was pregnant began to pop.

It depends on your belly size b4 you got preggo. For example, all my weight is in my belly, im 5' size 12-14 and weigh 160 lbs. If you look on my profile you would not think i weigh that much, but if i raise my shirt up, you would be like ok, heck, some people would ask me how many months are you.  I jus have a big belly.

There is chart that shows where most of women fat go, you either get the apple shape(which is weight in the belly)  or the pear shape, and im sure we no what the pear shape looks like, small at the top and big at the bottom looking like a pear.

When i got prego in april, and when june came, i new i was preggo and only 10 weeks but the few pounds i gained sorta went to my belly and boobs.

I commented on your picture!  You don't look that big.  How tall are you?  Shorter women obviously from frame size will "look" bigger when they really aren't.  It's just the baby and uterus having no where but out to go!  And you've only gained 3 lbs!!  That's freaking awesome!  

I guess, if their being a bit rude about it, you could snap back with something clever and blame it on hormones lol...But otherwise, you can say exactly what I told you!  You look perfectly fine!!!
