showing already? HELP

[rnh3290]

I am 6 weeks pregnant, and my waistline is already starting to expand, and my belly is just a lil 2 round for my taste. why am i starting to show so fast? also does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to get a lil energy? all i do is sleep.

[rnh3290]

thanks. i guess ima just have 2 find something natural that gives me energy. but i cant think of anything

i just found out my anemia was acting up as well. my ob just put me on an iron supplement yesterday. i'm SOOOO hoping it gives me an extra burst of energy and i'm not so lethargic all day everyday. and that i can start working out again.

caffeine is REALLY bad for the baby as well. my doc made me swear that i wouldn't touch the stuff (i'm a coffaholic....i love lates and fraps..i was an avid starbuckser prepregnancy) the caffeine withdrawl sucks buuttttt it's worth it knowing the babies (or baby) are ok

weight was the last thing I gained. At 33w3d, I have only gained 4 lbs. I didn't have to start wearing maternity until I was 5mos.

I was extremely tired all the time in the first trimester. Just when I thought the 2nd tri would bring new found energy, IT DIDNT.........Turned out I was anemic when they did blood work toward the 3rd trimester. Once I started taking my iron supplement I got my boost of energy. Eat good healthy foods. Don't over induldge in sweets. They can slow you down.

i'm in the same boat as brown eyed....i'm having twins and my "baby bump" started to appear at 6 weeks. by 8 weeks i had to start getting maternity clothes. i've pretty much evened out right now (18 weeks) and haven't grown THAT much in the past few weeks. some women just pop a lot earlier then others.

ok bleeding was only breakthrough. they said it was really nothing for me 2 worry about, and to rest for awhile and not go outside so much. ( i dont like 2 sit still lol im always walkin around.) and bcuz of my  back ( had surgery last yr) and pain meds i was taking and a few other problems, its gonna b a high risk pregnancy, but everything should go ok if i be careful. but they suggested i take a CVS bcuz of previous miscarriages. isnt that only for older women?

You should go or call your Doctor as soon as possible, when you bleed is no joking matter. If you need to go to the ER

Bloating can come on fast and furious...I was having a real hard time buttoning my pants at 6 weeks and the felt so tight I actually googled tight pants and pregnancy because I was afraid that I was going to hurt the baby =) lol...By 8 weeks I had to pick and choose what I could wear and by 11 weeks I had to buy a couple pairs of pants that were a size up just for comforts sake!  I had a mc my 11th week.  As far as the morning sickness goes you could try a little bit of coke a cola...although it has caffeine, a couple sips staggered throughout the day did if for me...they used to use it in the old'n days for nausea.  Good luck!

You count from day one of your period. So if your period started around february 25th you would be 8 weeks.

[chitten]

No, count from last period.

If you concieved 4 weeks ago, you are 6 weeks pregnant

[rnh3290]

so basically count from conception on, not the last period

[chitten]

Bloating comes early.

You should count 2 weeks prior to concetion - ie i fell pregnant 20 weeks ago (supposedly) but i am classed as being 22 weeks pregnant

I started showing at 6 weeks and was quite large at 12 weeks but I'm having twins.......but alot of women have alot of bloating the first trimester

[rnh3290]

im confused, i thought i was 6 weeks, but the pregnancy tracker says im 8........ im counting from conception day, and the thing is counting from the 1st day of my last pd, which one is correct?

[joshuawatkin]

[rnh3290]
