OT Pregnancy and showing | Arthritis Information

Hey ladies,

Just a question for those of you with children, do you remember when you started to show? I can't remember with my other two but I will be 9 weeks on Tuesday and I have already popped out. I was just wondering if any of you remembered.

Gosh...I know it was earlier with each baby. I was in my 5th month with my first, in the thrid with my last. But the last was 16 years ago, so I might be off a bit. Congratulations!Thanks Linncn, I know I showed earlier with my second than my first but I just don't recall how early (or that it was this early).Yeah, I'm really only sure about my first. I was so excited to wear maternity clothes (yeah, really!) it seemed like it took forever.

So this is number 3? How old are the others? Are they excited?

yes.. each one showed earlier as the others have said......

How are you feeling??Babs - I have awful nausea this time which I never had before, ra pain has eased slightly but not as much as I'd like. I really can't wait until the second trimester, I am having a little trouble keeping up with my other kids. reegie2009-01-18 18:22:59Linncn-my other two are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2, I really have no reason for not remembering my last pregnancy. I am just blaming it on all my ra stuff happened after him and that sucked my brain dry. The are kind of excited, not as much as I thought they would be. My oldest said he does not want another brother so it will be ok only if it is a girl. Thanks wanttobe, that is a great story. I was a little surprised myself!!Reegie....my two sons weren't super excited when we told them a new baby was on the way. It was sort of a let down. I was expecting shouts of joy and instead all I got was more like.....really? huh. LOL! The rest of the tale is he was the product of a one time non use of birth control. I was taking a break from the pill and it was Father's Day. We opted not to use back up- I swear to you this one time! I told my husband he really didn't need to make such a statement about what day it was!

Tinkmy first baby I started showing around the 3 or 4 months, my second seemed earlier than that. My theory is....your skin and body are stretched out from having babies and so your 2nd, 3, or whatever number may show earlier. Have you felt the baby move yet? (That was so awesome to feel the baby inside).

congrats and best wishes

No I haven't felt the baby move yet, it is such a wonderful feeling isn't it. oh about 14 minutes after the act..

Our first child was much hoped for, but after several rounds of clomid, we decided instead to wait, move to a new , more expensive house, and for me to go to work and school full time. I got pregnant the second week we were there. the next 2 kids we simply decided to try and I was pregnant immediately.. Our son HATE the story because we actually sat down and said "lets make a baby right now".. and due to some things happening that was the only act of intercourse we had for 3 months and it took.
