Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 ~ Stop freaking out. 5 pounds is OK in 12 weeks. I am going on 15 weeks and last Dr. visit I had gained 5 pounds total. I told him I was a bit concerned about it, and he looked at me like I was an alien, and said the same thing that K. pointed out........we are now carrying a placenta, baby (even though very small), amniotic fluid, have increased blood volume, and are probably retaining some fluid on our own. Also, I have not had a tummy tuck yet, maybe sometime in the next few years....but I started to grow out of my jeans at about 8 weeks. I was " puffy " all over. Now that I am going on 15 weeks, I am flat out in maternity gear, unless I wear cotton shorts, etc. I'm sure after a tummy tuck, you would show pretty quick having a nice flat stomach. (GRR....I am so jealous, LOL.) Hope all this helps, you are not alone. C.

I am really nervous that this in not a good sign and I am freaking out. Also I really started to show this week! I am worried that it is to early for me to show but maybe I am wrong. I had a tummy tuck at the same time as my bypass and I think that since my stomach was so flat is why I have started to show. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
