Questions & Answers

Hi I'm about the same as you and I haven't put weight on yet iv lost some also I have started to show a bit though dont worry you will be fine

Honestly i wouldn't worry too much about the weight. I'm at almost 30 weeks and and still 2lbs under prepregnancy weight. I started to show fairly early with this pregnancy for some reason though even though i haven't gained anything.

Bostonmomma, maybe that's what it is. I have had several losses and a d&c between this baby and the last, just like you. Maybe thats changed the position of my uterus too. And I am heavier to start with this time around too, unfortunately. I'm thinking also, that because my husband and I opened up our martial arts school between this baby and the last, that all the extra workout time I've been putting in is making a difference in how well my stomach muscles are holding everything in this time, even though I'm heavier. I've been teaching a lot more than I used to! And I'm sure packing around a 2 1/2 year old that weighs nearly 40 lbs has added some muscle too! Lol

I was the same weight until 16 weeks or so.

I'm in the same boat....and I'm almost 10 weeks. Last pregnancy in October I was getting a "gas bump" at 6 weeks....this time...flat as a board! Nada.

Here is my thought....for both of us....I'm thinking maybe it's due to our uterus's. Mine, after my D&C, was tilted backwards (after reading all the reports I requested copies of after surgery)....so maybe it's because our uterus's might be tipped back towards our spine? Maybe the baby will grow up first, then out.

Just a thought....or opinion....!!

With my 4 year old son I had gained 32 lbs when I had him at 36 weeks 1 day and he was only 3 lbs 1 oz, with my 10 month old I only gained 5 lbs the whole pregnancy and I had him at 39 weeks weighing 7 lbs 13 oz. So if the doctor says everything looks alright and that baby is growing fine , I wouldn't worry too much everyone is different as is every pregnancy. Congrats on your pregnancy :)

Every body is different. I find that only super tiny people are showing that early (at least to other people) of course this isn't always the case. I also find that there is less weight gain with the second pregnancy usually because we women tend to be a wee bit heavier after the first so there's already some "fluff" there to work with lol.

Luckymommy, i've definitely outgrown 90% of my bras already too! Sports bras have become by bff's. I'm not going to spend money for 9 months buying new bras to grow out of. I'm saving my money for nursing bras. I'll be wearing them alot longer!

I'm also 15 weeks, I've only put on about 3 lbs. and I'm very sure it's all in my boobs, three cup sizes in three weeks!! I hope they don't get any bigger

He says i'm fine. All my ultrasounds and genetic screening has been fine too. I just was expecting to see something from the outside by now, like last time, but so far, i'm not. I've always heard that you tend to show a little earlier with each baby, but that doesn't seem to be the case for me this time. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced that?
