I thought I was short! I'm 5ft 4inches and I started showing with Ariani at 12 weeks! I had a friend who was 6ft and was a month ahead of me in her pg and I looked ahead of her right throughout!
Though I'm now a plump little chicken (not a skinny thing like when I was 20 and pg to Ariani) so I reckon if I feel pg now, I wouldn't show for ages!
I'm 5'2". Short and dumpy!! LOL Especially now. No wonder my body is packing it in with all the extra weight I'm lugging around!
And we didn't DTD very much 2 or 3 times the whole pg 0 more to do with m/s, tiredness, no opportunity etc etc... Sounds like excuses now though... :-s
I'm 5 ft 8 in. Everyone thought I'd be 6 ft when I was growing up because throughout childhood, I was a head and a half above everyone else. Used to get called "Big Bird" actually. I'd stopped growing by secondary school though and started expanding outwards instead.
Tam, lucky you to not be nervous and DTD as and when you want. I don't think you need to ask a doc, I think the only guideline is not to DTD if it is painful, or if you have any spotting/bleeding. So you're fine (and have a lucky DH who is getting some unlike the rest of ours )
Hehehe Tam I bet when you do start telling people you're pg they'll all respond 'oh, I already figured that'!!
Sal, I was nervous at first, but the book I have goes into a lot of info about DTD while pg, as in which positions are best to avoid any potention bleeding etc, and after I read that, I thought, may as well give it a go.
About the reponse when I do tell, I bet you are right!!

My XH and I DTD right through all of my pgs with my three kids, including the day before I had a show at 40 weeks! (trust me, it was more for his sake then mine!)
As long as it's not painful and you're comfortable, there's no reason why you shouldn't. Having said that, if I ever fell pg, DH wouldn't get near me (but that's just me being a nervous cow) With him living through 12 months of IVF, where he's been far more familiar with a plastic cup then me, I suspect he'll sail through anyway!

hmmm funny you should say that. One of my girlfriends has also broached the subject.......I'm not thinking of anything until the u/s LOL.
Atm I am still a little disbelieving that it was actually a positive and are still leaving the house with "protection" just-in-case! LOL!
