Pregnancy 18 weeks : I was wondering all you moms of 2 or more. When did you start showing with your second pregnancy and was it a boy or girl? With my first (a girl) I started showing at 10 weeks and it was OBVIOUS that I was pregnant by 18 weeks. NOW I am almost 18 weeks and you cant tell I am pregnant unless you know. I always thought you showed sooner with your 2nd. A family friend thinks I am having another girl because I am not showing as much as her yet. Could this be true, or could I be having a boy? I wou

Pregnancy 18 weeks : I ask because I was really small to start with, about 98 pounds at 5 ft 2 inches.

I had a low bmi of 17 something and I needed to weigh at least 110 to be normal weight range. My doctor said the weight gain is fine but to me it still doesn't seem or feel like enough? And to me I look really little still for 6.5 mon

The first three girls he got pregnant, he forced them to get an abortion but he wasn't even there--he dropped them at the clinic and made them take the bus home afterwards! We didn't know about these until the 4th pregnancy started (when he was 18)
