Self care is so important during times of extreme stress. Baby steps, indeed.
To answer your question, though I do think so many women carry differently, my first I carried so low and it took what felt like forever to show-even at 6 months with a sweater on it could go either way as far as looking pregnant or plump. 4 months was more like it for me for all three pregnancies, perhaps sooner with my third as that pregnancy was soon after.
You have every reason to leave but if you do choose to stay--a paternity test no doubt is necessary. Did he find himself in over his head?
