  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

With my first i was around 18 weeks when i actually looked pregnent. This time round i looked pregnant at around 13 weeks depending on what i was wearing. It's only been the last 2 weeks or so that i haven't been able to wear my normal jeans though whereas with my first i was pretty much in maternity clothes (bottom half anyway) from 12 weeks.

To be honest, I'm not really sure when I started to "pop". I'm carrying mostly low, and have had previous miscarraiges and stillborn children, but this is my first successful pregnancy. I take photos every few weeks from the side, because from the front, I don't even look pregnant at all. I'd say that I started showing at around 19 weeks pregnant--and even then I was still small. At 23 Weeks pregnant, you could finally tell I had a baby bump--and at 29 weeks, I just feel fat (LOL) I'll post the photos--

I'm currently 31 Weeks and 4 days pregnant, and apparently I don't look pregnant? Everyone I talk to and tell that I'm 7 months pregnant looks at me and is like ya right--and drops their mouth open--and just stares--so apparently I look good for 7 months? I don't know--though I have been loosing weight in pregnancy--pre pregnancy weight was 217 lbs, first OB intake was 204lbs on 12/17/08, and then on 12/23 I was 201lbs, I was 206lbs on 1/29/09, 204lbs on 2/3/09, 206lbs on 2/18/09, and 210 on 3/6/09. At my last OB appointment, which was 4/29/09, I weighed 204lbs, so again, my weight has been fluctuating, and apparently I don't look 7 months preggers--

I'm showing WAY earlier the second time around! Of course that might have something to do with the fact that I was scared to exercise my abs a whole lot after my c section, so I started out this pregnancy about 20 lbs heavier and a whole lot less toned up than the first one.

I was in the "no waist" phase by 10 or 12 weeks, and now at 17 weeks it's obvious what's going on. Actually I'm already growing out of my maternity clothes from last time! My first baby was small, so I think it may be totally different this time (especially if it's a 7 or 8 pound baby, as opposed to a 5 pounder!).

And I thought I had stretch marks last time... eek...
