Hey guys
Just wondered what people's bellies are looking like in the 1st trimester.
This is my first pregnancy...I'm 7w1d...but already I have this little (or not so little) belly developing!
Admittedly, I have never have a flat tummy (at all!)...but this certainly seems more than additional "Christmas cheer"
I'm having to wear all my knickers a little lower...as well as my pants.
My "belly" seems to start from quite high up...and is starting to get a little harder...
What about you guys?
Wow - you must have read my mind today - LOL...
I woke up this morning and thought the same thing - is this normal. I am 6wks2days and have also noticed a litle more christmas cheer than normal. I really wasn't expecting anything so soon - but there is a definate little bump similar to what you describe - "starts up high and is getting harder". Whilst I wouldn't call my normal tummy a six pack it has always been fairly flat and toned - but this is quite noticable to me.
I guess that it is probably very different for each person and depends on a number of things.
All I know is that it gives me a little laugh whenever I catch it in the mirror!!
Enjoy it........:D
Well I am not too sure what my belly is doing!!
Before getting pg I was going to the gym 5 days a week and doing about 1500 sit ups (OMG - not in one day, over the 5 days but that is still alot!!) I stopped that as soon as I knew I was pg. So now my tummy is sticking out but not too sure if it is baby or just cause i stopped doing situps!! But I am pretending it is baby!!
Well I have some pics on bub's website of what my belly has been doing, in my photo gallery I have more pics from when I was in the early days of pgncy until just the other day.
But I can say I cant wait to have a belly!! I am planning on being a beach babe this summer and proudly displaying my baby belly.
If you click on my name & then view my site you can see my tummy & it's rapidly increasing, I wrear it with pride & everyone at works has been asking when I am due when I say in 30wks they say there are 2, but it was the same when I was preg with Indah,m with maddy I was a beach bum & my skinniest & fittest ever & was weraing hipsters & bikini's etc in Bali til about 25ish wks with a little rounf bump!! Now it just is a big round bulge! I wear mine with pride I love it & Dh rubs it lovingly at night... I'll add another pic soon, maybe I'll get Maddy to take it & dopwnload it for me!! hee hee
wow is all I can say especially to tracey.
I havent noticed a bulge, just my current one feels a little firmer. I think It may take a little while for me because I lost a total of 17 kg all up before i got preggo, so I guess I have some loose sking to fill and my uterus is starting to stretch from scratch.
I can't wait for it to bulge like a proper preggo belly. But give me time to tell people first lol
My belly is looking and feeling flabby and saggy today ;) Maybe that's because I already have 4 babies and have no baby in my tummy to fill out the over stretched skin ;)
Seriously though girls. Your tummy's are something to be proud of. Very cute indeed. Atleast now you don't have to hold your stomach in after a feed, or anytime for that matter.
Enjoy being able to let it all hang out :)
Fletch, not a bad belly you've got happening there. Funny how we will gladly show it off when there's a bub in there but at any other time, GO AWAY !!! LOL.
No one is seeing my elephant skin. I would love a tummy tuck now ;)
My belly looks the same... fat and wobbly. I'm a pretty big girl so I don't look preggo until well into the second trimester. Might even be further this time. I don't bother taking belly photos early on as a result ;)
I envy you ladies that can tell a difference early on. Oh for a little belly (like yours Fletchy)!
ahhhhhhh am I glad to find this thread pheeewwie LOL my belly had grown ALOT over the past few weeks and I felt a little embarresed to say I was only 11 weeks etc... as people looked at me like hmmm 'really', even just in the past day my bump has become harder and rounder, I do feel proud of my belly now that I have read this I felt like a bit of a freak b4 so thanks girls, ahhh and no belly shots for me yet eaither I am with Debbie Lee on that one LOL I will wait till it looks a little more like pg than flabby hehehehe.
Excellent threat, I too am in the plus sizes, so to everyone else at 10 weeks I probably look like I've had to much Christmas cheer, but I've lost a kilo in the last two weeks so I know it's baby :lol: My tummy is starting to get rounder and sticking out more, doesn't surprise me that I've started showing early, this is my 4th baby and I already have no toning on my tummy :lol:
Rose :biggrin:
I'm 6 weeks now and I've found that my pants are a little bit tighter - but not due to xmas kilos - I've lost those already. So I'm wondering how fast I'll grow too. This is my first child and I'm a larger woman too. So I guess people will be just thinking I pigged out over xmas ... well I did a bit lol.
Hi gals, Im only 8wks and already have a little tum, I think its mainly due to bloating but I tried to "suck it in" in front of the mirror, but nope it didnt move! It feels a lot firmer, so Im scared i wont be able to hide it for much longer, as none of my pants fit around the belly! My mum told me id start to show a little at 8wks as it was the same for her with me and my brother. Like Amy said, Im getting embarresed as 'normal' people dont have a belly til after 12wks. Because I carry a little extra weight I thought Id just look normal til 12wks.
Hi Everyone!
I'm new to the site and hope to get to know you gals. I had a flat tum until I was 20wks with my first. This time I am 8 weeks and already have a bloated hard tum. I can't believe it! I to try to suck in in but can't, so I know its baby. I have to undo the button to my jeans, have maternity clothes but wanted to be at least 16wks before I started wearing them again.
I have already got a determintation this time to make sure my stomach gets a work out once I have had this one in August, although after C-Sec it is alot harder to work out.
