NO YOU DON'T! lol.. but then you get strech marks and then you HAVE to get new clothes! ..Oh who am I kidding its fun! Well you are only in your first trimester.. you know how people say enjoy your children while they are young.. there is one thing no one says for some reason! and that is to start enjoying them while they are growing inside.. don't get too anxious.. it will happen and then you will see those little feet popping out and then soon after that you will be able to kiss those little feet!.. But here is a tip for strech marks that sounds totally crazy but it works.. olive oil.. use it like a lotion and dont forget to do your back! -Lacey

lol it is exciting but at the same time noo. before i got pregnant with number 3 i had a bit of a pug but i looked nice and thin kinda. . well now sincce my work shirts are dark and hide things people ask me if im pregnant or just puggy.

talk about making you cry. .

im showing when i wear my regular clouthes. but when i wear my work clouthes its kinda hard to tell. my co workers notice.but cutomers have a hard time telling.  makes me kinda sad. . . .

I lost a TON of weight just prior to this pregnancy. I am 13 weeks and I'm ready to start showing too because people think that I am just gaining my weight back...when I have actually lost more weight (not on purpose...got the pukies!). I have noticed the little flutters more though so I know it is real. To me, when you start showing it just becomes a bit more real.

I lost 28lbs the first 2 1/2 months of my pregnancy and now I am just gaining it back. I know it is baby weight that I am gaining but the fact that I am not showing yet really makes me sad. I am 21 weeks... I should look pregnant by now! My sister just had a baby last year and didnt show at all (she is plus size also). I did get a few maternity shirts which did help the people who know I am pregnant think I look pregnant when I wear them but people who dont know just think I am getting fatter. I am hoping by christmas I will look pregnant

I want to start continually showing....I have some days where I am so bloated I look like I am in my 6th month, other days my stomach goes right back to flat.  The people at work think I am using a pillow to stuff out my clothes on some days, lol.

 I was the same way...I really wanted to show...my friend is showing at 13 wks cuz she's smaller than me, but I didn't show until 22 weeks....I weigh 224 now and am 30 weeks and some people think I have longer to go than that cuz I really am just now starting to look pregnant and not heavy set...however, when you do show you will appreciate those stretch marks and such that much more (at least I do) because I realize that the little guy making me have that means the world to me soooo much and I haven't even met him yet so just be patient my dear...that little bump will come...

Oh me too. Im not big or anything. I weigh 128 but the 28 lbs. is left over from my 4 year old, so I do have a pudge that I was never used to having before. I didn't start showing with him until 6 months and I weighed 100 before I got prego with him and 152 at 9 months. So now I have a pudge and I if is harder to tell when I starting showing. Im only 7 weeks but im constantly looking at my stomach and looking at it in the mirror with it covered with a shirt and im just waiting and hoping its soon so I can actually look pregnant and not just pudgy. My friend did feel it tonight and was like oh my gosh its really firm, so my other friend felt it and said the same thing. So maybe thats a good sign. I have noticed it is thickening more but I just keep thinking its because I gota poop or something. I just can't wait though. It's so hard.
