I have a couple of questions.

One is: When do first time moms typically start showing in a way that people know they're pregnant? I know my pants are a little tight, but I've only gained 2-3 lbs and part of that is from stopping Weight Watchers I think. I'm at 9 weeks 1 day now.

My second question: When do we typically first feel the baby move?

Third: Has anybody besides me had problems with alternate constipation and diarrhea?

It varies with all FTMs, some show by 18-20 weeks with a small bump but there's also women who don't show until the 3rd trimester

You probably won't feel the baby until around 4 months (16-20 weeks)

I have that problem, I'll suddenly get constipated and then go back to normal, then things will go the other way for a while. Annoying isn't it?

Yep same as the above.

I didn't show till later with both L and C. (like 18+ weeks for sure)

I didn't feel L (my oldest) till 22 weeks. at all. I was at my 21 week u/s and could see her kicking the crud out of me, but I didn't feel a thing.

I haven't had any changes in that area, but I think it's normal, will depend on your body, hormones and what you eat.

The answer to your questions are both 14 weeks with my first. Showing, and feeling. As for the other question, yes, that is normal. It might ease up in the 2nd tri.

People were still questioning whether I was just gaining weight or pregnant with my first up until about 24-25 weeks, and i started that pregnancy fairly small at 125lbs. I first felt my son move at 18 weeks, it was intermittant at first then at about 22-23 weeks it was clearly defined, regular movement.

It really depends on the mom, but I usually start showing about 12 weeks. I can't remember with my first, though,

I started feeling my last baby move around 14 weeks.
