I'm about six weeks along, first child- I'm 21. I'm so sure I'm already starting to show. I'm pretty tiny. I'm only 5 ft and the last I checked I weighed 103lbs. My clothes are starting to get tight across my chest and waist area. Could I really be showing/changing so early?

It's different for everyone. At 6 weeks, you probably have more bloating than anything...after all the baby is about the size of a sesame seed. :)

For me, I didn't really start showing until around 15 weeks and I'm still wearing the same clothes I've always worn at 22 weeks, but they're definitely not fitting as loosely.

Whew. Well that's a relief. I hope I'm as lucky as you are. And congrats.

Thank you! Congratulations to you as well! Best of luck in the months ahead.

How are you feeling? Have you had any symptoms of nausea? I know for me the morning sickness was the worst part of the first trimester. Mine started as just nausea around week 6-7 and then by week 8 it was nausea and vomiting..no fun! ;(

A lot of nausea especially when I see, smell or even think about meat. Chicken in all its forms make me want to bury my head in the toilet. I also had awful cramps last week. I was considering going to the ER at one point but they subsided and I found out those were normal. Fatigue is another thing. I need a nap every day but I have a history of insomnia so I'm up til the wee hours of the night. Torture. And I pee like a horse on a beer diet. Lol. Every hour or so i need a bathroom break. That makes sleeping rough. I'm hoping to avoid throwing up altogether but you never know.

I know I'm not supposed to really be showing yet but now I know it's not just in my head. My cousin just asked if my boobs are getting bigger. I have noticed the changes and I've tried to hide it but it seems I didn't do a very good job. I'm not ready to tell anyone just yet but if I'm showing so soon can I really hide this til May?

If you're not ready to reveal, please don't feel pressured to do so until you feel comfortable. It's your body and your life, you can reveal it whenever you feel best, or not at all if you choose to.

I'd just tell your cousin you bought a new bra that does wonders and smile. :)

Lol. That's a good cover. I was planning on going home next month (I'm in university at the moment) but something tells me mum will figure it out the second she sees me.
