There are a few things I hope are never genetic, ever. One of those is the deciding of whether or not I will have a baby bump. I have a feeling I will not show unless I go full-term, meaning 8-9 months in the pregnancy. There are a few factors that are making me feel this way:
- My mother didn't show with me but she had me at 7 months, premature and smoked.
- I have child-bearing hips, meaning there's plenty of room for that baby already!
- I already have a slight pudge down there. Unless the fat gets in the way, I am not sure the baby is going to show for a long time.
But, from what I've read so far, each pregnancy is different. And, there are reasons I believe that the baby might show quite well starting at 13 weeks and beyond.
- Most of those 'calculators' are indicating my baby is about 1 inch right now. Well, the 7 week ultrasound put my baby at 6.5cm! that is 2.6 inches roughly, a lot bigger than what was indicated through all these calculators. Now, granted, those calculators are meant to be the average. Here I am at 9 weeks, I am wondering how much he/she has grown since then!
- Because I am thick I have a feeling my body will stretch easier therefore show a baby bump.
- How many people actually NEVER show a baby bump? I am sure there is always something there.
Symptoms so far: I have been having some scary and some wonderful dreams. I have slight nausea but that's because I am stubborn about eating breakfast. And, I have had the urge to have major mood swings, or little things bother me and I am just quiet to avoid confrontation.
