I'm only 9 weeks and I'm HUGE compared to my usual self.Some people tell me that this is normal for a second pregnancy but what about a first?My doc says that I am tall and slender and that I shouldn't worry.I had an ultra sound at 7 weeks due to some bleeding but everything looked fine and the babies heart beat was strong,could there be 2 babies? Would they not have seen that in the ultra sound? Has anyone else ever shown this soon or am I all alone in this? >>>Reply-To: anonymous@obgyn.net
