Forum : Pregnancy

i had a flat tum before i got preggers and within 6 weeks my jeans were tight too, now im 11 weeks and its noticable i have put on weight.as your boobs have started to hurt i do reccomend getting fitted for a maternaty bra (m&s can do this) i had mine done 2 weeks ago and now that i have room to grow and gentle support i only have slight twinges in my boobs now. i have not had a scan yet, but all the way through your pregnancy if anything worries you, even silly things, then talk to your midwife,do not worry about weight gain- im only 11 weeks but look like im further gone. good luck

Hi, I am just over 8 weeks... and really showing... I have put on just over half a stone and am concerned that I will be absolutly huge by the time I am due!! I think it's just different for everyone!! But it is quite frightning - not the time to be concerned about image!!

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and i have put weight on already too although i haven't had the courage to jump on the scales yet to find out exactly how much. To be honest, i'm more worried about stretch marks than weight gain. Any suggestions?

Hi I'm 18 and a small size 8 and onlt 4ft 11 inches tall and I'm 10 weeks gone and look alot further than that! I started showing about 8 weeks-ish and am having to go get new clothes this weekend cuz I can't fit in them anymore! Lol! Bio Oil is fab for stretch marks and scars by the way. I've had 2 scans already, one at 5 weeks and one at 7 and am due my next one next week and am so glad I had those as I'm a natural worrier! Hope you're all doing well Love Georgie xx

Hiya, i too have put on weight & lots of it! Im 23 weeks now and 2.5 stone heavier!!!
I couldnt fasten my trousers from about 9 weeks.
My pregnancy prior to this i didnt even begin to show until i was at least 7 months gone!
Every pregnancy is different, not just every mum-to-be.

hi,
i'm 11 weeks now and have gained 6lb so far. completely different from first pregnancy when 6 months bikini photo's only showed a slight widening around the waist. however still in normal jeans at the moment although tightening by the day & start the day slimish but look hugh by the evening!

i 2 am six weeks with my 3rd and look like im in my second trimester never happened to me when pregnant with my boys hope this is a sign im having a girl? i think weight gain is normal at any stage as every pregnancy is different.just curious though as some mums say early weight gain is a sign of twins n im scared now.

hi im 17 wks and have been showing for ages, two of my freinds are at the same stage as me and you can hardly notice!! i cant even fit into my legins anymore!! im only half way through and dont want to think about how big il be by the end!!!! xx

Im Steph, im 16 yrs old, and im 8 weeks and 1 day gone ... I have already put on enough weight that im showing and its obvious to everybody aka, all my friends and family (even though they alreadi knew). Ive had to get all new clothes because the majority of my old ones dont fit me anymore. I was quite worried as to why ive put on so much weight so quickly, but as ive heard that its happened to other people, im not so worried anymore. Ive got a scan on the 27th of this month so not too long to go now and they shud b able 2 tell me whats going on :)

hi i am 6 weeks preganant and have gone up a dress and jean size already i am also on my 3rd pregnancy and put weight on all over bit concerned as i have put on a stone already is this normal? please help
