Although I am still able to wear most of my pre-pregnancy wardrobe, there are times when I know this is going to have to change a lot sooner than it did with my first pregnancy. I can't believe how much earlier I started to show this time! Strange how the body can retain such information.
When I more or less popped:
At about the 8 week point, I started to show a little bit. This is a LOT earlier than I showed with my first pregnancy. While I was happy to be starting to show earlier, I was also kind of sad to have to pull out maternity clothing so early.
If and when my belly button popped:
I know that many women have this happen... but it has yet to happen to me. It never did so my first pregnancy, so I don't anticipate it happening on this one.
I'm starting to feel like:
A fertility goddess. This answer makes me giggle... mostly because the other option is Budda, and I'm far from that stage. But it is something pretty special to know you're pregnant when you're just starting to show.
More thoughts on getting big:
I am glad I'm showing earlier this time. Last time, I wondered if I'd ever get to use my maternity clothes. This time, it looks like I will get to use them a lot earlier, which is great. Those clothes are really spendy!
My exercise regime:
I try to get on the treadmill and/or walk outside at least 30 minutes 3-4 times each week. There are weeks when it's near impossible to make this happen, but I'm able to get it in for the most part.
