Pregnancy Week 14 Calendar Girl (1 of 37)

Frkina: About time to grow up. About to be a mom and yet very rude. Don't pass that onto your child. You can tell Tressa is expecting Aja. Just take a look.

Wow, those last couple comments were surprisingly insensitive. Like a prenant woman isn't hormonal and feeling vulnerable enough with all of the inherent changes that her body will go through...I hope this pretty mother-to-be, Tressa, doesn't read those things and have hurt feelings because some people just cannot help making obnoxious comments. Their character flaw, not yours, hon. People come in all shapes and sizes and if we did not, the world would be terribly boring to look at. Very boring. You keep rocking the lovely pregnant belly (that, yes, I can tell is there by the way)and baking that baby really well in your oven. The end result will, of course, be a beautiful blessing that you will no doubt fall immediately in love with. And who won't judge you. He/she will just show you the most unconditional love you've ever experienced in life...Then you can treat yourself well and get into whatever shape you are healthiest at. Good luck, beautiful fellow pregger. Fun times ahead!!

how can everyone tell the difference from over weight and "showing?" its kinda annoying when people are like ohh wow your really showing.. or is she just chunky? the only way to see how far along you look is when your semi-lean. agree or not its the truth.

thats not a baby,thats just fat and lazyness

I agree. I usually am a size 7-9 before pregnancy this time and with my first son and everytime I get pregnant I tend to gain anywhere from 40-60lbs! I don't know if it's just because of my eating habits or if it's just that my body loves gaining lots of weight during pregnancy but honestly I could care less, as long as my baby is healthy then everything is great! Be proud of yourself if you are small or big.

i think that preggo women are beautiful! not all women get to experience what we are goin thro right now. this is why God put us on earth. i started out wearing 16 jeans. i've been really careful with what i eat, and so far so good. but if i do end up blowing up, as long as my baby is healthy i don't care. people have called me fat all my life, why is now gonna be any different....at least now i have an excuse :D and sometimes it doesn't matter how much u exercise and diet...u just get big. but don't think about it like that. u have a life growing inside of u...and no body can touch that or take that away from u. enjoy this time in ur life!

Hi,
I am so glad to see that their are some other women who are showing as much as I am. I am 12 weeks, and have been in maternity clothes for about a month. I cry just about every other day, because people talk about how big I am. (Are you sure it's not twins?) My husband and my mom reassures me that I am fine. This is my second pregnancy, but I showed quick with my last. It makes me feel better to see that I am not the only one.

hello everyone. its reasurring to see the varios belly sizes. i am 14 weeks and have been feeling like a cow. i have a belly now but my midwife says at 14 weeks the uterus is still pretty low and just begining to grow so i feel like its all just fat. this is my second child but still its scary for a former anorexic bulimic to grow like this. just the same i think pregnancy is beautiful and a miracle. all these photos are so beautiful. good luck to everyone!

Wow, Tressa, you really look pregnant! I'm also 14 weeks, but due to already having 3 kids, I just look fat! And Ana, I am wondering why you think you are fat at a size 5??? I'm a size 16-18, and that's a whole lot bigger than a 5!!! Be thankful that you are showing and it's obvious that you're preggo. In my dreams! :P

i already have one baby and i am married and my husband knows what a baby does to your body so i am not worried about being big getting stretch marks and having baby fat left after my son is born. pregnancy is beautiful and i believe the body afterwards i a joyious reminder.

I don't care how big my belly gets as long as the baby is healthy and right after he pops out, my belly pops back in!

I am also 14 weeks, and I am already showing. I wish I was skinny so I wouldnt be showing so early. Sometimes I feel bad because you know how some women show until like 5 mths or so..some dont even show at all until they are about to deliver. Right now I am wearing size 5 and I am afraid and a little depressed, because I know I'm gonna blow up like a balloon. Sorry to make this comment but that's the way I really feel. And dont take me wrong, I think you look so cute, its just that alot of american women look so slim and sexy and dont start showing so early, I really wish I was like that. But you look very pretty though.
