I'm almost 7 weeks pregnant, and I want to know if I can be showing or not?
I don't think I can be, but I have never had a rounded stomach. The muscles are also very sore, is that normal?

Your body will adjust to accommodate the baby growing inside you. Some women don't show at all and have a wonderfully huge baby. Don't ask me how that works !

You stomach muscles are sore because the adjustment is already taking place. Of course, if your stomach muscles are in good shape, then the less you will show and the baby will just move to the 'back of the bus'.

Good luck and don't worry. Nature takes care of itself.

Whew!
Thanks Tickle. As you can tell I'm new to this. I'm not getting big, yet, it's just that there seems to be a gap forming between my stomach and the muscles (if that makes any sense)
I just thought it was strange to start noticing so soon!

I'm 7 mouths two and I'm showing on this one but my 7year old I did not show at all and he was 9lbs when he was born.

Okay, so it really does depend on the person. I was just concerned because I thought that it would be related to my physical shape, and I've always been in excellent shape, until the pregnancy (and the over protective daddy won't let me go to gym)
Thanks!! :)

All I can say is walk a lot before and after the baby is born and do it now to.

Yeah, I have started walking. I'm trying to stay as in shape as I can because I've heard that it helps with recovery and also it makes it easier to get back into shape after the birth.

Thanks for all the advice, it's really appreciated! I have virtually no clue about what I'm doing, first time and all.
Have you suffered with fatigue at all? I'm battling, and was wondering if you had any advice?

Fatigue is very normal. Rest when you feel this way, drink plenty of fluids. Eat healthy, which it sounds like you do anyhow, and continue what you are doing. Sounds like you are doing great.

Sorry for being so scare, than for all the wonderful advice!
I'm doing well thnax to all the support, and even though the symptoms are kicking in big time I'm starting to enjoy watching the progress of my little one.
The eating healthy is something I always do, but I must confess to my weakness for chocolates!
