Q&A: Is it normal to be showing at 9 weeks pregnant?

by Dr. Gerard M. DiLeo

I'm nine weeks pregnant and already showing. This is my third pregnancy. Is it normal to be showing so soon?

Since you've been "stretched out" before, your abdominal muscles may be more relaxed. With each pregnancy it is more likely that you'll show sooner than the time before. But keep in mind that every woman's body—and each pregnancy—is a little bit different, so what's "normal" for you may not be for someone else.
