Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I was probably more like 5 to 6 months before it was even slightly really noticeable, probably 7 months on, before it's definitely noticeable it's a pregnancy belly. From that time on I was stopped constantly and talked to about it. Then constantly stopped for people to speak to me about my baby, especially the last one, she must have been especially cute, because I couldn't take two steps in public without someone stopping me to ask the same questions, the person two steps earlier had had asked. It drove me mad a little. Worst thing about it was, my little one was terrified of strangers, and she would dig her little head into my shoulder to try and hide from them, and I had to explain to people she's scared of strangers, sorry we couldn't stop to talk.
You can't really tell through clothing, until further along. And the first few months make you lose weight faster than you're gaining it, because you're burning so much building a whole human.
From 4 months I had that hard protrusion oval shape, start poking out. If I were wearing a bikini, you could have told i was pregnant from looking at me from 4 months, possibly.
How far along are you?
TIL, you lose weight at first, didn't know. I often thought that we gain weight from the start due to the higher rates of estrogen and prog, but this makes more sense.
