I started showing the moment I conceived!  Haha, kidding but I started showing very very early on.  Everyone is different in those terms though.  As for labor and delivery, I went to 7 cm without getting an epidural.  The pain felt like I was having menstrual cramping (mine are severe).  I ended up getting and epidural and life was great after that.  I even fell alseep!

i didn't start showing until i was like 6-7 months i think, just depends on ther person. i worried about the labor and delivery as well but toward the end you will want that baby out so bad that your worries about the labor go away. the epidural is the best way to go!

Well since you are offering for ANY questions....I want to know about stretch marks. Not to sound super vain but I'm scared of stretch marks. I LIVE in a swimsuit in the summer. So how bad do they get and did any of you use anything to prevent them?

mrs.payne2010

i only got them on my boobs but very little. what i did was everytime i got out of the shower i put baby oil on while im still wet, then after i would dry off i used this lotion from motherhood on my stomach, thighs, boobs and butt.  that seemed to work just fine for me. they do fade after a while though. its been almost 8 months and the ones that i got are almost gone.

im the same way amber i was so scared i would never be able to go to the river again!!

now if i could just loose the tiny gut thats left and that damn line you get done the middle of your stomach then ill be good!

amberg321

Line down the middle?!?!?!?! Please explain!

I always start showing about my 5th month at 3 n 4 months im usually jsut a lil chunky :0)
I was terrified BUT I was 16 when I had my first son
Yes I LOVED the epidural also
I have horrible stretchmarks :0( I wont wear a 2 peice but I was really bad I would scratch like crazy (remember I was 16 and retarded)

mrs.payne2010

im not sure what it is but when you get to be almost to the end of your pregnancy some people get this brown line down the stomach mine went from my belly button down.  it has lightened up but its still there....anyone have this prob??

sv4338

Thats good that its fading though :0)

For all you mommys out there!
How was your pregnancy and Delivery?  I started showing like at 6 weeks because I was waaaay too skinny when I got pregnant...like in a 0 pants...I was sick for the 1st Trimester and the 3rd trimester.  I was on bed rest for 2 weeks during my pregnancy because my aminotic sac started leaking (gross I know) but luckily it sealed back up...I didnt really have a great pregnancy

- /> I am  looking forward to the pregnancy, its thinking about the Labbor & Delivery that scares the BeeJeeBees out of me!!!  How was yours? I went into the hospital to be induced at 6:00 pm on monday evening and didnt have him until 11 am on tuesday morning and it was by emergency C section cause he wasnt breathing.  I dont think everyone goes through all of these problems but, i did, I dont have it easy...I have stage 4 endometrosis and will never have a normal pregnancy or delivery if I am lucky enough to get pregnant again..so dont go by my experience :-)

Amber- as far as stretch marks go I used Vitamin E lotion and rubbed it on my belly and do not have one single stretch mark on my stomach.  Just make sure you get it on your sides and underneath your stomach because I know of people that forget to lotion that part ...

I never got that dark line so I have no idea...

Amber, they say stretchmarks are hereditary.  So if your mom has stretchmarks you are prone to get them as well.  It has to do with the elsticity of your skin.  I did get strectmarks but you can't see them.  I wear a  piece and you would never really even know I had them because they are practically invisible.  I have one on my boob that is still around and some in my inner thigh but my stomach is good.

I got the brown line.  It went away though.  The only issues I have are the pouch thing...I have lost all the weight (a few times) and gotten down to being extremely thin with hardly any fat on my body and an almost flat stomach except I still have the little pooch no mater what I do.  The pooch is my lower stomach under my belly button.  Also, I think I may have torn a muscle because I have like this indent on the bottom of my stomach where the pooch is, right in the middle.  It's a line, like a butt crack.  My mom has this as well.
