Cangrats with the baby! How tall are you? I'm about 153 pounds and I'm about a size 13. I guess it's also because I'm only about 5'5".
My belly pics!

So cute! You barely look like you're pregnant up until 8 months then it's a little obvious.
 All the rest could just be a stomach though.
You're lucky!

Aww congrats! But I'm totally jealous. I'm 3 to 3 1/2 months along now and my stomach looks like yours did at 7 months
.
Did you plan on having a c-section (if you don't mind me asking)? That's my preferred method, but I don't even want to ask the OB if it's pointless. |

Aww congrats!
 I'm not even joking, after I've eating a big meal my tummy actually looks like yours in the 5 month photo

Very cute pics! And kudos to you for being ready for a baby at 21! I'm 22 and while I would *love* to have a baby, I know that I definitely could not
handle that job at this point in my life. I can barely handle myself
Also, I know that you girls are joking with your comments about weight gain during pregnancy, but....you should never feel bad about gaining weight when you're pregnant! Weight gain is absolutely necessary, within reason of course You have to remember that you're not only carrying the weight of the
baby, but you're also storing the nutrients and blood supply to help with that baby's development. So don't ever feel bad about it! Excuse me for
that, I just wanted to offer a friendly reminder to love thyself

Awww, Thanks girls! I wear a 6-8 in jeans, mostly 8's. I'm 5'10" so I guess thats how the 153 doesn't quite show up as bad..
 . I've really lucked up on not gaining a ton of weight - I've been on
strict bedrest since 9 weeks, due to complications early in my pregnancy, so I really though doing nothing and sitting on the couch all day every day for 7
months was going to be torture on the weight department!! I think the lack of extra weight gain has also played part in not swelling up as bad as some people
as well. I feel a little more "plush" than usual at times ,
but my hands and feet have stayed remarkably close to the same.
Jcschick, you're too sweet! Mafonia, I am having a csection, but not exactly by choice. I had major surgery for a shunt when I was younger, that put some complications in the matter, and my doctor doesn't want to take any risks of the shunt malfunctioning due to the stress and strain of labor/pushing. I'm not complaining though, because at least this thing won't be as much of a waiting game, and I know that a half hour from going in there or less, she'll be here!!! |

CUTE! And congrats! I have a 3 month old baby girl right now...and I didn't really start showing until like 4-5 months...and then I really
"popped" the last month.

Because I am also, since I was 3. I've never "known" anyone else who has! If you don't want to blab it here, you can PM me too. You look fantastic. And happy belated birthday! And we have the same name, and I love how you decorate so in general, just, yay you.

futuremrsfitz, I've had one since I was 7/8. The
fluid on my brain wasn't draining properly (it was puddling and building), and causing me to be really sick (throwing up constantly) and headaches to where
I could barely lift my head. This went on for almost a year, before they found the problem. They put in the shunt to drain the fluid (as most peoples bodies
would do naturally). It fixed the problem, and I've been great ever since! I did however break the shunt (cheerleading) when I was 12 years old, so
it's mended in my neck area - this is why the doctor isn't too keen on me putting the stress/strain of pushing on it, when it's already not in one
piece. I dont need the risks of major surgery, after just having a baby
edited to say - Behlah, thanks! Even with the little weight gain, I do have one stretch mark now (just showed up in the last couple of weeks..boo), so I'd hate to see it if I did gain a ton!!

I think I hate you for looking so darn cute! I am 35 weeks & if I hear one more person say how big I am, I might smack the crap out of them. This is with
baby #3, but I wasn't small like you with any of my pregnancies
Congrats! |
