Every pregnancy is different. I had a baby belly around four months. The eating will come and go. However, be sure to watch what you are eating and walk walk walk. This will make the delivery easier on you. As for telling your father hmmm that's a tough one. Being a parent to an eleven and eight years old I expect I would be less than pleased if my daughter told me she was pregnant at a young age. But I would not stay mad. You will have to be honest and expect him to be upset but know he will not be upset forever.

Good luck and best wishes

You do need to tell your dad, he is going to find out sooner or later... wouldnt you rather just get it out of the way? Anyway, as far as getting a belly, I did not show until I was 7-8 months pregnant, and gaining just 2lbs in 10 weeks is not that bad. Just remember to make every bite count, try to keep away from junk or "empty calories". Congrats and Good luck to you.

Make sure to start taking your prenatal vitamins. They are very important during pregnancy. I am rather thin so I started showing around 4 months with my first. I am pregnant with my second and I started to show around 3 months with this one. It just depends on your body type and how much you are eating. Definitely tell you dad as soon as possible. Have your mom there for moral support. Its better he hears it from you than form someone else.

Oh yeah... No you cannot make your baby go blind by having sex while pregnant.

If talking to your dad is too stressful, how about writing him an e-mail or a letter. Yes, it would be good if you could talk to him in person, but I know that can sometimes be difficult. It can go a long way, however, if you have a plan to share with him, such as finishing school and how you will support the baby, etc.. Letting him know your boyfriend is standing by you, or better yet, the two of you could talk to him together. This can show him that you are taking a mature approach to handling something as major as having a baby. Let him know very soon so you don't have it hanging over your head... best to just get it over with and deal with it so you can focus on your pregnancy.
In most cases having sex while pregnant is fine. Some women will be told to hold off in the beginning if they have a history of miscarriages, or at the end if there is a history of preterm labor. As margarita_momma mentioned, the baby won't go blind from it. In fact, the baby is pretty well protected.
Learn all that you can about pregnancy and birth so that you can be fully prepared to make decisions that can effect you and your baby. Encourage your boyfriend to become educated on ways he can be helpful and supportive as well.

Its more stressful not to tell your dad and just keep it from him so just come out and tell him. I got pregnant with my daughter at 17 and was still in school. I was scared to tell him but I knew that he needed to know. I came out and told him, we had a long talk. What can he do to you? If you are that scared then have someone with you.

I didn't show until I was almost 8 months pregnant, but I was really sick with my daughter. And no I'm not a big person either. Im 5'10" and 135lbs so I don't know where my daughter hid but she didn't want anyone to know I was pregnant I guess.
