nah, you don't. could be cuz of the weight gain, perhaps, and that you're relaxing your stomach... remember jo's picture where she relaxed her stomach muscles and looked 6 months preggo? the baby, at this time, is only way below your belly button, so any other part of your stomach that sticks out would be due to just pushing out of muscles/stomach, etc... :D

well here's my control (day i found out) picture: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c200/harrisonsdream/4weeks.jpg

Everybody's body is different :shrug. Honestly, I am pretty surprised you have already gained 10 pounds in 9 weeks. What does your doctor say about it?

you're also standing up straighter in that picture ;) and its not as close up :D

i've not seen my dr. yet i just had my initial "fill out all the paperwork" appt. i've not had a u/s or anything yet either, that's on the 18th and i'm getting anxious.

I gained about that with Emily ;). I was just talking about a 10 pound weight gain in 9 weeks. That's all. I know they generally don't want a rapid weight gain so early, but again everyone is different. I was just curious.

I've never been pg before... but I don't think you look too big!

Im about 17 weeks right now and Ive gained about 1.5 pounds. But people gain their weights at different times. I have a feeling Ill gain all of mine at once.

I showed fast with Ethan, was big with Ethan and gained too much weight with Ethan. I gained just shy of 60lbs. I ate right but I just kept gaining. My Dr told me alot of times with first pregnancys that happens. Plus you still have first trimester bloating going on etc. The 10lbs in 9 weeks is a little much. But you could be retaining water. And everyone gains differently. Just make sure you eat right, small frequent meals, and drink tons of water and watch your sodium intake.. However, Like I said, EVERYONE gains differently. And I did gain alot with Ethan. And Gained 30 with Ashley

I think it's because your relaxing your stomach and your weight gain. I can't believe you've already gained 10 lbs.

When I first got pregnant with #4, I got really bloated and gained water weight. Around 13 weeks it went away and then the baby bump started coming up under my belly button.

Everyone is different with weight gain though. With #2, I didn't gain any weight until I was 7 months along, and then BAM, 15 pounds in 2 weeks :shock

I wouldn't worry about it :)

A lot of the early "weight gain" actually turns out to be water retention/bloating.

I showed almost immediately with Grayce. I was HUGE by 10 weeks. LOL
But I have only gained 10 lbs TOTAL this pregnancy so far. Im sure that will change at my next appt. LOL As of 20 weeks, it was 10lbs. Be careful, not everyone can be like Bex and loose all the weight they gain after baby :)

I had TONS of water retention and bloating in the begining, and I actually was loosing weight. So that is not always the case ;)

I am still loosing the weight from Emily and Noah :eek :lol

Which is why I said "a lot" and not "all" :P

PSHHH

I still had about 10 to go when I got preggo with Ellie ;)
and my body will NEVER EVER be the same


but anyway, you shouldn't obsess over weight while preggo, Jilly... I mean, if you're not eating anything ridiculous and your body is just gaining weight, so be it. don't stress.

i think by 2-3 months i had gained 15 or so lbs...

this time i'm 23 weeks and 12 lbs gained

PSHHH

:lol That is still rather lucky!! Especially for the 80lbs you gained! I gained almost 100lbs with ds and didnt loose a pound. :D

And yeah you shouldnt worry to much about weight. Your doc will let you know if your at risk for some side effects of to much weight :)

no pic :confused

Not everyone is the same size, don't forget that
