I'm on my 3rd child. My first two I didn't show till I was 5/6 months nor did I gain weight. This time around I popped out at 9 weeks. I'm now almost 12 weeks and I look huge yet I've only gained 3 pounds. My boobs have grown one full cup size. Also with this child before I got pregnant I would work out and do heavy lifting and eat super clean now that I'm pregnant I still lift heavy weight( not as much as before but still heavy) I do stair master too but i don't really care what I eat as far as being able to cheat here and there, yet I still try to eat good. But with that being said I look big! And with my other 2 I never worked out and did not care what I ate at all. So it just goes to show every pregnancy is completely different! Just enjoy it and go with it. And don't let people try to make you feel bad!!

I worked out a lot before getting pregnant and now I've eased right off and am eating a lot of carbs, crisps and biscuits because I can't face much else. Ive lost a lot of muscle so my weight has gone down a little but my waist and boobs are so much bigger. I don't have a nice rounded baby bump, I just have a wobbly belly from all the eating. Feel bad about it just can't face much fruit at the moment :( Our bodies are bound to change in different ways and I just think what will be will be.

By your second month your uterus has nearly doubled in size dont let anyone make you feel bad that your pants are fitting a little tighter

Also you will weigh more if constipated and bloated so it may be just that your bodily functions have slowed down. Eating lots of fruit and veg helps me and having bran flakes cereal and trying not to eat so many carbs.

I'm so much hungrier but am also very constipated and my bowel movements have slowed down so much since becoming pregnant so if you're bloated and bunged up you can feel a lot more uncomfortable and bigger and your clothes will feel tighter like more do. Also my boobs feel heavier and larger. Don't worry hopefully things will sort themselves out for us in the second trimester. X

Everyones body reacts ro the HCG hormones differently. Some will show in the first trimester even with their first babys others will not show till t mid to late 2nd trimester. It is normal. I am on my 3rd pregnancy and this time I got twins at 12 weeks I look like I am well into my 2nd trimester in the baby bump but I actually lost 10 lb due to morning sickness. Relax your doctor or midwife will

I completely understand I did not show with my other two pregnancies until I was around four months but now I'm on my third child and I'm only eight and a half weeks already showing and can't fit my pants . Everyone is different but most show sooner with multiple pregnancies .

I have gained 4 kgs or 8lbs so don't worry at all. And good on u for sticking up for yourself. Fyi I was 24 on the bmi before pregnancy but my family has a history of gestational diabetes so I know I'm likely to gain 30 kg no matter what.

I'm 11 weeks and I'm already uncomfortable in all of my normal clothes. I've seen and heard that's normal for people :) I have had zero morning sickness and lots of bloating. And yes, weight gain because I shamelessly upped my food intake thanks to hormones. They effect everybody differently ;)

It happened to me the first weeks too but i think it was that my belly was swollen, my whole body was blown but after a few weeks and even worst with the vomiting and nause it all went away. I'm 11 weeks now and only my waist feels a bit tight

Your belly shouldn't be changing that much.  In your first trimester you shouldn't  be increasing calorie intake at all by the end pic your first trimester you should only gain between 2 and 6 lbs (for someone not overweight).  Plus baby doesn't  even way like anything.
