12 weeks and showing...

[dlondon]

I am not sure if this is possible or my imagination but I am only 12 weeks pregnant and I feel like I am going to have to tell my boss already and I am really dreading telling him.

I have only gained 3 lbs, but I have this very round "pouch". This is my first and I keep reading people with their first are not showing for 5 months? Any one else experiencing this? I have been working out regularly although I have toned it down to keep my heart rate down.

Who told you people are not showing for 5 months? That is BS. If you are overweight you may not show for months but if you are fit, you will show quickly even with #1. Great job with the weight gain. I gained only 3 pounds the first trimester with #1 but people could tell I was pregnant since my stomache was normally small. Even with minimal weight gain, your whole body changes the first trimester including enlargement of the uterus. I was so relieved when I told my boss each time. It is weight lifted off you plus you can tell people at work you are pregnant, not just gaining weight. Come join us on te moms to be check in.
Due 6/1/06 with #2.

With my first pregnancy I started to show around the forth/fifth month. I was at my absolute fittest at that point too. I started to wear looser clothing and larger pins, etc. Anything not to have people notice the little pooch that was going on.
My second pregnacy, well....I started to show right away.

With my first pregnancy I started to show at 4 months. Now I am pregnant with my second, and I workout 6 days a week and before I was pregnant my stomach was flat. Now I am 7 weeks prego and when I wake up in the morning and see my stomach, I have a little pouch growing already I guess all pregnancies are different. When my friend was 8 weeks pregnant with her second, she had a big stomach and we thought she was having twins, but she is only having one.
