    Preggy/Pot belly

    Hi All, I am 11 weeks pregnant today and have this pot belly. I am not sure if this is normal or whether I have just been eating too much junk food?

    It's pretty normal hun. You should have seen mine by 11 weeks, I was clearly pg. And second time around I was showing by 4 weeks! But it is also important to eat well, so you might like to cut back on the junk food anyway.

    Congratulations and wishing you a H&H pg.

    It wont be the baby yet as your uterus wont be above your pelvis but your body starts to thicken up around the middle section a little to help protect your growing baby.

    I had that too, from about 9wks my work pants were getting tight (quite a slim fit).

    Don't stress about it

    Hi there,
    A BIG congradulations to you, i noticed after the seventh week none of my skirts or pants fitted me anymore & thought it was a bit quick but apparently its normal. i hadnt put on any weight but my hips had moved out a little. it was kinda hard but being on bed rest i just lived in my pj's for a couple of weeks. im usually a size 8 but now in my 11th week im a size 12 but look no differant size wise than before just a minnie beach ball belly Lol. i just last week went thru all my clothes and put aside a whole two suitcases of clothes it was very saddening sounds weird but im very attached to my clothes Lol

    Obstetrician

    Thanks for all your advice ladies. Has anyone heard of the obstetrician Dr Jay Rao - delivers at the Freemason's hospital. I have booked in with him and just wanted to make sure he was okay?
