You just found out the exciting news: You are pregnant! First of all, congratulations! If you are like many expecting moms-to-be, you may be wondering: when will I start to show?
According to our experts at PregnancyAndBaby, when you start to show depends on your overall physical shape and how many times you have been pregnant.
If this is your first pregnancy and you are in good overall shape, you may not start to show until 20 weeks. If you are in good shape, but this is not your first pregnancy then you will probably start to show somewhere between 12 and 18 weeks. If you are plus-size, you may not start to show until you are much further along.
At around eight weeks, your uterus, which is normally the size of a lemon, will be the size of a tennis ball. If you start showing early, you could be pregnant with twins and your doctor may perform an ultrasound to verify. Some women who are very thin may not start to show until much later in their pregnancy and can wear their normal pre-pregnancy clothes throughout their second and sometimes even third trimesters.

Got something to say?
I’m 5’8″ and size 2 (pre-preg) and started showing in the 19-20 week range. I found it incredibly annoying when people said to me before then, “Oh my goodness, you’re 16 (etc.) weeks and not even showing!” It made me worry that something was wrong! In reality, everything in my pregnancy is right on target…
I’M ONLY 8 WEEKS AND I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT I AM GONNA BE A MOMMY I AM VERY NERVOUS ALL TOGETHER BUT I BELIEVE IT WILL BE GREAT …I JUST HOPE NO ONE RUBBS MY BELLY!!~!~!

I’m only 8 weeks pregnant and it looks like I have a belly already. Is that normal? I’m not obese, I’m 5’8′ and average about 155. It’s either that I’m really really bloated are I’m already starting to show. I can’t believe this! Any else started showing early like me?
JP
i’m very young and in pretty average shape. i’m about 11 weeks along, and i started showing about 3 weeks ago
I am 30 and in good shape 4’11″ and 98 lb pre-pregnancy and already started showing a bit at 8 weeks. I have a belly popping out a bit and gained 7 lbs so far. My doc said it is normal and I am just gaining some weight early, but will probably gain the same overall as an average person, She said that because I was so thin to begin with I probably needed to gain a bit extra now. I do need to wear baggy shirts now to hide the belly!
I’m thirteen weeks, and I’m looking forward to saying goodbye to the first trimester. I’m 5’3″, I weighed 120, and wore size 3/4 (pre-pregnancy). Thanks to wonderful ‘morning’ sickness that’s lasted all day for two months. I now weigh a 108, but my jeans are starting to feel a bit tighter, probably my butt getting bigger. LOL I’m eighteen, and this is my first pregnancy. I don’t have a belly at all yet, but I can’t wait to get one, to actually get to experience my baby growing.
i am at 31 weeks, and i didn’t even start showing until about 28 weeks. i’m 5’4 and pre pregnant weight was at 120 lbs. i wouldn’t say i am fit, but i am definitely not chunky. now at 142 lbs, i gained most of it over time but i got the pooch finally and i can finally wear maternity clothes and not look ridiculous. no time is “normal” and i have to remind myself of that when i talk to someone who is not as far along and they are way bigger than me, ha.
Hi this is my fourth pregnancy I’m 30 I’m only about 5 wks and I feel like I’ve put on weight already some days I have crazy cravings, but I hope I don’t gain that much weight I’m 5.51/2 feet tall I was 166 lbs pre preg now I’m 171 hopefully I’m just bloated and it will even itself out at the end
Hey i’m 18 and i’m 7 weeks and 5 days. i’m already a small frame weighing 96 pounds being 5″3. My belly sometimes makes me look like i’m about 4 months. But its basically bloating. Its really degrading to me because i get so exited thinkin its the baby.lol
I am only 10 weeks and have started to show. i am a big girl i am 5’3 215. when i found out i was pregnant. i have dropped 5 pounds since then from being sick. but i can’t fit my regular pants any more and look like im further along. maybe it’s more then one!!!! i hope so!
am 7 weeks but my belly still flat,
whats weird is that for my first pregnancy i didnt show til 20 weeks, and my second i started showing at 8 weeks, but this pregnancy i am already 13 weeks and still not showing.
With my first pregnancy, I really didnt start showing until about 16 weeks. Even at 20 weeks, I only had a little bump. this is my second pregnancy, and I am about 6 weeks along, but I am finding some of my tighter shirts dont fit and it hurts to try to suck in! When I do suck mybelly in, there is still a little pooch. I am 5’4″, about 120-125 lbs. not fat at all, but not in shape. My belly has flab and the skin is looser bcause of my first pregnancy (not bad looking really or like a flap or roll, just not a FLAT belly.) I definitely feel like I’m showing because my lower abdomen is hard already. I still have some shirts I want to wear before it gets bad, so I hope I don’t get huge overnight!
Im 17 5″5 105lbs and 4 weeks pregnant. I cant wait to start showing. This is my first pregnancy. Bc im so small will i show sooner?
Pre-pregnancy, I am 5’4 105 lbs. I am very athletic before and throughout my pregnancies, with kickboxing/karate/running until the day I gave birth. With my first pregnancy, even with severe nausea, I gained 20 lbs between weeks 8 and 12 and the baby bump started to really show already at week 9. Granted it could have been just fat from such dramatic weight gain! In my second pregnancy I started to really show again by week 9, and gained 12 lbs in the first trimester. Still had my flat six pack until week 7. Just goes to show that everyone will experience something different!
I am 22 years old medium build and started showing with my first son by 12 weeks. I am currently pregnant with my 2nd child and I am 10 1/2 weeks pregnant and started showing. You start showing earlier with your 2nd child then you would with your first. Everyone thought I was pregnant with twins my first pregnancy because I showed so early, but that was not the case at all. The doctor said every pregancy is different and depending on how fast your baby grows will depend how big you get. (or how fast your uterus starts to expand.)
I’m 5’5 and weigh 114 lbs. First check-up was around 6 weeks and I was the same weight as I am now at 11 weeks. No morning sickness. Still not showing though i feel like there’s a little bump or feeling of growth. lol 18 with my first.
Hi Ladies! Just want to chime in my experience to show anyone reading how every woman and, every pregnancy is different. I am 5’8 normal weight is 177lbs and I eat healthy and exercise. (size 12) I’ve always had a large body frame (size 10 shoes). When I was 18 yrs old with my first pregnancy I was still a healthy girl . . . . the doctors thought I was carrying twins because of the size of my belly . . . well turns out a had a healthy beautiful singleton boy weighing in at 9lbs, 8 oz !! At age 18 yrs, he was 6’4″ tall!! I remember I did not show UNTIL I was about 4 months – - – - – Fast forward: NOW HERE I AM ON MY THIRD PREGNANCY AT 6 WEEKS, AND LO AND BEHOLD I’M HUGE!! And I mean huge. I look as if I am 6 months – not kidding. But keep in mind: I’ve been preggo before, AND I have FIBROIDS which makes my uterus already larger than normal . . . and I haven’t had U/S scan yet to check on number of little darlings I’m carrying (natural conception). Still take my vitamins & eat my greens . . but I’m older now – - – more OUT OF BREATH – - but happy & excited! Love to Ya . . . .
Hi all! Found out last Tuesday that I’m 4 weeks along! This is my first pregnancy, (YAY!!!!!) I’m 26, 5″7 and weigh about 110. I have my first appointment with my OBNurse this Friday and this is my question… Is it unusual that I’m already getting the tummy bump? I know I’m not “showing” bc the baby is the size of an apple seed… but I already can’t fit into my pants! Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me..
I am 26 and this is my first pregnancy. I just had my 16 week check up on 4/1/09 and I weighed in at 162 which is 10 pounds lighter than when I first found out I was expecting. I am average height at 5’6. I am one of those who when people see me around they say that I don’t even look like I’m pregnant at all. I wouldn’t dare say that I am in shape but I will say that I am a bit concerned though b/c I was extremely sick the beginning of my pregnancy and although I’ve calmed down a bit, I am still getting really bad spells here and there; Most people advised me that morning sickness usually slows around the 4th month and although I don’t get sick often now, it’s very bad when I do. I am supposed to find out the sex of my baby on 4/29/09, should I be concerned?
I am 7 weeks pregnant for the first time. I havn’t really been sick, but very light headed! I am 5’9″ and overweight, I way 284 lbs. My concern is will I show at all? I am a large big boned lady, I have a size 12 foot! I am very porportioned, but every women want sto show, I am just wondering, will I? Good luck to all,
11 weeks 3 days: 118 lbs, 5’7″, wearing pre-preg size 0-2. Starting to show, but I just look bloaty. Already packing away my pants with higher waists.
Anybody try the Bella Band? Is it as great as they say?
Im 8 weeks pregnant, and this is my first child
im only 17 nearly 18. And so excited, i am only a small framed girl but im also quite talk 5’6. I cant wait to start showin, hope i am as lucky as all you girls

Hi i’m seventeen and this is my first pregnancy. I’m ten weeks and gained 3 pounds already. I scared cause i don’t have any morning sickness sore breast or any thing. People are saying i’m starting to pulge out a little but i don’t know. Its it normal to not have any morning sickness
this is my second child, im 5’3 111lbs
im now 7 weeks and i have a little pooch, my jeans and clothes fit me tight, my family can see the little pooch, i do not think it is bloating, i think it is showing,… and at night it gets even bigger and really tight feeling,but in the morning i still have the small pooch, which i read your stomach will get bigger at night and will look a slight bigger, but i dont understand how you can start to show so soon, … with my first child i looked like i was 8 months when i was only 6, i got really big, and showed alot very early on, i think alot of women are different, with my first i remember having a big belly at 3 months it might have been 4 months along, cant quite remember 3 years ago. allthough strangers cant tell yet my family and friends can, been very lucky so far with this pregancy, no sickness or anything, really bad heart burn though, anyone know what i can take for that?? go back to the doc june 1st cant wait i hope all is well, good luck to all of you, and congrats.
Hey first off congrats on all the new babys and im 18 almost 19 first child im seven weeks prego and im not showing at all well i have a little bump thas all. I have no moring sickness, cravings nothing is that normal?

Hi I’m 5’4′ and 139 lbs pre preg. I have had a lot of morning sickness but not showing yet. I can’t wait til I do though it’s my first pregnancy and I want to experience it all. Congratulations to everyone.
With my first son, I was 19/20 years old. 110 pounds, 5’8″…didn’t start to show until I was 6+ months along. With my second son, I was 21, 115 pounds…started to show around 4.5-5 months. With my third son, I was 23, 115 pounds…started to show around 2.5-3 months. Now, I am pregnant with BABY NUMBER 4, I am 24.5, 115 pounds, about 9 weeks along and already starting to show.
A lot of my pre-pregnancy pants are not fitting…people are starting to ask…but we are not ready for them to know, so we just tell them I am trying to gain weight, so I will be healthier for my children…..
Is this wrong, to FIB about something so big??
Hi i´m 16 young, and i´ve been reading some of these comments, and i enjoyed the site. i just found out about my pregnancy, im about 10 weeks. i´m trying to get as much info as i can, and learn as much as possible, i´m a little scared i don´t want my baby to have a hard time growing or anything, so im trying to stay fit and healthy. Although i am 5´8 and about 125lb, i just hope everything goes as smooth as possible. I´d really love it if anyone has some good advice for me lol.
My cousin was throwing up to almost every smell. It took couple of weeks before she was OK. Congratulations to all.
Everything I’ve heard basically implies the shorter or thinner you are, and the more children you’ve had previously, the sooner you will start showing. The first two because there is less space to expand because the torso is smaller, the latter because the uterus expands sooner each time.
Every woman is different though. I started showing at about 10 weeks for my first pregnancy with triplets. My second pregnancy, just one baby, I started showing around 10 weeks again.
This is in contrast to what is expected. I am 5’8″ and a pre-pregnancy size 18. Obviously triplets show sooner than a singleton, but not significantly sooner because at 10 weeks a baby is smaller than a peach. There is plenty of room in my belly, and most other women’s as well, for three peaches
I started to show at 12 weeks, its so amazing!
hello girls,

This was back in June:
With my first son, I was 19/20 years old. 110 pounds, 5′8″…didn’t start to show until I was 6+ months along. With my second son, I was 21, 115 pounds…started to show around 4.5-5 months. With my third son, I was 23, 115 pounds…started to show around 2.5-3 months. Now, I am pregnant with BABY NUMBER 4, I am 24.5, 115 pounds, about 9 weeks along and already starting to show.
A lot of my pre-pregnancy pants are not fitting…people are starting to ask…but we are not ready for them to know, so we just tell them I am trying to gain weight, so I will be healthier for my children…..
Is this wrong, to FIB about something so big??
Now, in December:
With my first son, I gained a total of 22 pounds and he was born 7 pounds 8 ounces. With my second son, I gained a total of 22 pounds and he was born 8 pounds 3 ounces. With my third son, I gained a total of 15 pounds and he was born 7 pounds 9 ounces.Now, pregnant with BABY NUMBER 4, I have already gained 42 pounds, and still have 7 weeks until my duedate. (Baby will be born by c-section, 10 days before DD.)
Is this weird to gain so much more weight? Or normal, because this is #4?
i am pregnant and 8months and fewdays i think if i have worked out from the right days and i am showing already my mum says i look 6 months and and other people are commenting saying im showing already and this is my first child im a size 16 i lost 3 stone and now it looks like ive gained a stone back on i am very excited about it though and july 18th 2010 seems so long away congrats and good luck to you all xx

So at the most I am 8 weeks, if it happened the very first time..(has anyone had the mirena removed and get pregnant so fast?)…but i already have a baby bump for sure.

Jessica, I had my first pregnancy almost two years ago. My daughter is now 15 months old. My husband and I decided that we would try contraceptavies until our daughter was older so we could prevent pregnancy until we were ready to have another baby. Well, the lord decided that He didn’t want us to wait, lol. I was on the Mirena and it failed. I am now 10 weeks into my second pregnancy, and the doctor seems to think I’m having twins!!! So, yes I firmly belive that you can get pregnant as soon as you stop the mirena….. or even before the mirena is removed. HAPPY PREGNANCY AND GOOD LUCK!

IM 26 WEEKS PREGNANT AND MY BELLY DOESN’Y SHOW IS THAT NORMAL?
Hi all, CONRATS on your blessings… it is wonderful to be a mother. I am 38 and 8 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. I had my first child at age 19 and I did not show until I was 7 months pregnant. I was 98lbs then and I am 5″1′ tall. With my second son, I showed by the time I was 4 months but my first son was a 9 pounder. My 3rd child, my first daughter I had 2 years ago and I did not show until I was about 3 months. I am now 129lbs post 2 months, I have gained 5 lbs in these two months and I started showing as if I was gaining weight around my waistline around 1 month! I am not actively exercising as I am completing my MBA and I resigned my job in Jan of 2010 to complete my MBA. I am hoping to start an exercise program to ensure that I do not gain much weight. It is always consistent that I gained around 36-38lbs and got back in shape very fast after. Showing is not ideal as I feel fat as I have no symptoms of pregnancy lol…
I’m 12 wks pregnant. I’m 5/9 & I weighed 162 at my last doctors appt. Considering I’m not exactly skinny, I’m wondering when I will start showing. I don’t have a huge belly, I have a gut but its not what you would expect a with my weight because I’m very tall.. Can anyone give me a estimate??
Congrats to all mothers, new and renewing!!
I am nearly 26 and now a little more than 15 weeks into my 4th LASTING pregnancy. this is my 9th all together. Just goes to show us life is always unexpected, but makes you stronger in the end. I have read every post here, and some have been insightful, some touching. You’d think that with the experience of so many pregnancy’s you’d have it some what figured out, but there are always questions and new things developing. I am 5’7-5’8 and have fluxed between 140-200lbs over the last 3 years. I had gallbladder surgery Feb 2010 and found out I was expecting a few weeks later. One of the things I’ve read here is that with each complete pregnancy, you have the ability of showing sooner. My first OB appointment is June 2nd which should put me about 4months, and My concern is, when I am in a sitting position, I look huge. Around 6 moths or so, but at night, when I lay on my back, there isn’t much there but “Baby flab” from my last birth (2 years ago). I’m not thin, but I have always been able to hide my old baby fat in the right jeans, now it just seems to be screaming at me. Sucking in is out of the question, because it hurts. Another thing, I have been feeling light “jabs” over the last few days. At first I thought it was just mussel twitches, but now I’m not so sure. I did some research and found out that women of multiple births tend to feel movement a bit sooner due to the sensitiveness of the uterus. If that’s the case, wonderful. My husband will still have to wait another month or 2 to partake in my joy. RECAP, the size thing could all be in my head because my husband and I are the only ones who know. I was thinking of telling my family on the way to the delivery LOL. 25 and 4 kids isn’t what most see when they dream about their life. I’m not depressed, i’m very happy, but I’m scared my family won’t share in that joy, so I have decided to keep it to myself for as long as possible.
NEW MOMS:
Congratulations! Enjoy every second you can with your new pregnancy! Because even though you will love and enjoy your new baby, there is nothing quite like being pregnant, and oddly enough, you’ll find yourself missing everything about it. As far as not showing much in the first 4-5 months, I wouldn’t worry. With my first, I was in high school, and was able to keep my bundle of joy secret until nearly my 6th month (5’5 94lbs prepreg) with the right pullover. And she was a healthy 6lbs 14oz when she was born. With my second child, it was pretty much the same. Little belly, big hormones. He was 7lbs 12oz. And my third, well… There wasn’t much hiding that, because I was caught coming out of the OBGYN/maternity ward during a glucose test. lol. But I don’t remember showing early on but I was huge for the last 2 months.
I’ll be checking back often and posting updates and lending my opinions and thoughts as often as possible. I wish you all the best of luck, and the birth of a beautiful baby to come!
Thanks goodness I am not the only one! I am 13 weeks and I have a very visible pregnant belly. I started to feel bad when I heard all the stories about people not showing until 5 months. Prior to pregnancy, I was 120lbs at 5’6″. Since then I have gained almost 20 lbs…all in my belly, it seems! I started to feel really bad about my transformation, but now I see that there are others out there with similar experiences. Thanks for sharing!!!
I’m 5’7 pre-pregnancy weight 138, this is my fourth, I’m 10 wks and 1 day and I’m of course very bloated, after I eat my belly is pretty poochie but 1st thing in the morning it is just a litl, pants are uncomfortable if tight on my belly as always when prego, I can “hide” my pregnant belly which I usually do bc right now I just look like I’ve got a poochie “beer” belly! Lol but its round at least! Good luck to all!
hi I’m Daija I’m 19 years old. I’m about 5’8 and I am just about 7 weeks. It always seems that I am bigger during the day, than I am when I wake up in the morning. I mean 1 minute I have a tummy and the next it’s gone. I guess it’s just the food I eat and not the baby. But I really can’t wait until I start showing for real, I’m so excited
congrats to all the mothers and the mothers to be!
I am almost 5 months pregnant and still haven’t felt my baby kick. Is this normal? my belly hasn’t grown much either I’m starting to get worried!
This is my first Pregnancy. I’m 34 @ 13weeks weighting at 200, 5″4″. When will I start showing. Very excited about pregnacy.
I’m 19 yrs old and I’m pregnant with my secong. My first was a miscarriage but GOd blessed me with another! I’m 8 wks & I’m keeping faith that this will be a healthy pregnancy & I can’t wait to start showing!! Congrats everyone
Im 7 weeks and this is my 4th child, I cant really remember when i starting showing with the others because they were all suprises so I wouldnt know til I was showing which was usually about 2-3 months but this time we planned it and I think Im starting to get a hard little pudge but with my clothes on its not noticable yet
Hey gals! I’m 33 years old and I am preg with my 2nd child. It was unplanned, but we are excited. I am 5″6 and average size 12/14 but my clothes are getting tighter around the waist already and I don’t know what to do. I know its not time for maternity clothes yet. (my pants are unbuttoned today) HA HA… Guess I will shop for a bigger size clothes for now. With my first pregnancy, I did not show till like 5 months…. Good luck to all
Hello everyone.Reading this has been helpful.I’m 21 yrs 5’3 I’m 10 weeks prenant with my second. I showed at about 18 weeks with my first baby. Pre pregnancy I weighed110 And now at 10 weeks I weigh 115pds I feel like I’ve got a belly sometimes.Then sometimes I’m like no I just had too much to eat today;).SO I don’t know yet.I sure do want my belly to hurry up though so I can know its the baby not the extra lunch:)
hello im really young im 14 and pregnant i just found out that i was pregnant about 3 weeks ago and i was decided to have an abortion because my babys dad did not want to take care of the baby and left us alone i got kicked out of my house when my parents knew i was pregnant so im living with my friend and her mom that are taking care of me and the babies thanks to them im having my babies and i found out they were twins im so excited:) and im showing alot like if i was 7 months is that normal??? and im really emotional ive been crying all day long even during school and work i feel really dizzy and throw up alot and not hungry at all is that normal
hi i am mimi. i am 16 weeks(4 months) and not even showing at all. some people say i will start around 5 to 6 months but my belly is a little out just doesnt look like a pregnant one. i am dying to find out what the gender is and cant wait to start showing but i dont know exactly when i will start. i am scared of anything going wrong so if anyone has advice on how exactly to stay very healthy and stay away from anything bad at all, that would be really great!!! thankss…..
Hi everyone, i am 21, 5’7”, and 115; I found out I was expecting last week at 3 weeks 5 days, now i am 4 weeks and 5 days. I have a few question: Is bloating normal so early on, I don’t fit in my pants? I cry all the time for the dumbest things, is that normal? I do have a lot of cravings like mid night runs to 7/11 for a chilli cheese hotdog or a grilled cheese sanwich with garlic powder lol and a lot of heart burn but nothing tums wont fix. =) Congrats to all this a a wonderful journey.
hugs and kisses,
vianka
Well I just found out that im pregnant. and Im 18 years old. Im 5 weeks and 2 days. and around 117 ibs. and 5’4 inches tall. and my belly is already starting to pudge out a little. I have had a miscarriage before so with this one im super scared. Any one know if you think it would be normal for me to start sowing? Im totally lost on this.
hi im 22 and have 2 little girls, i started to show round 3-4 months with my first, with my 2nd i was bout the same. i am now 7 weeks with my 3rd child and already started to show, or am i just bloated, i felt really sick and suffered with diarreah with both pregnancies and now this 1 but the last few days i havent felt hardly anything, i cant stop thinking that something bad is going to happen. is this normal, i wasnt like this with the other 2. what is the matter with me????
I’m 5’3 in a half, 98 pounds and two montserrat pregnant. Very sore boobs but not really showing much. ? When will I start to show?
Hi;)! I’m pregnant with my second child.my normal weight at 5’2″ is 150-155. I am 11 weeks today and just found out 3 days ago. I have noticed that my tummy has got big for about a month now and my pants that fit can barely button. Could I be further than I was told or just showing already or just bloated. I haven’t had an official appt.yet. I just was wondering if I told the wrong date of my lmp cause I already forget things!lol. Thanks!
ok i dont get this?! im 18 and just found out im pregnant 2 weeks ago and that would make my last period 7 weeks ago. idk how far i am for a few more days. but im 5 ft 1 in and last month i weighed 92 and 2 weeks ago i weighed 98.. and im showing for sure. i have a pouch under my belly. i alreay haveto wear big shirts! this is my 1st pregnancy and i just dont get why im so big already?
Hi, I’m only about 7 weeks pregnant with my first & I feel like I’m already starting to show. But, then I didn’t have much of a torso to begin with either. All of my regular clothes are starting to feel way too tight.
I am about 8 weeks pregnant, and am uncomfortable in my pants already. I know I am not showing, because it is so early. I think it is normal for your body to just naturally change, and to become a little bloated. Your body has to go through a lot of changes to get ready for the baby.
Just recently found out I was pregnant. I am currently 5 weeks pregnant and already feeling tight in my clothes. It could be just bloating. During my first pregancy at 23 pre preg 115lbs I did not have a bump till about 4mths. I am now 30 and pre preg 150lbs and not in shape. I pray I will not get as huge as my first he was 8lbs 14oz. I had to have a C-section because the doctors said he could be 10lbs and my pelvic bone was not big enough for him to pass through. so I kinda don’t won’t to go through that again. I pray healthy preganancies and of course beautiful and healthy babies for all of you mommies to be.
I am 24 years old, 5’5″ and 155 lbs (size 14 us) I’m currently 8 weeks with my second pregnancy and already starting to show! I know its not just bloating because it starys just under my rib cage and is rounding out, plus I haven’t gained a single pound (morning sickness) I didn’t start showing until around 5 months with my last pregnancy, even though I was about 15 lbs lighter then… I think its normal to show earlier with your 2nd (or more!) even before you’re out of the first trimester. Good luck ladies, wishing happy, healthy babies for all of you
I’m 29 and this is my first pregnancy. I’m about 5’2″ and my starting weight was about 135. I guess I am one of the “lucky” few that did not get morning sickness, however, it’s almost as if my body has stored everything I’ve eaten! I’m only 15 weeks so far, but already at almost 155 lbs and feel like a gigantic blueberry!! I’m concerned that I am gaining to much to fast. I haven’t gone overboard with indulgences and have eaten rather healthy so I don’t know what my body is doing. At my last OB appointment, they acted as though everything was normal as they took my weight, but my next one is coming up on November 3rd, so I may have to address my concern as I keep reading that the norm is to start showing around 18-20 weeks. I am scared of what I’m going to turn into in a few months! Anyone else experience this?
Seeing all these posts, I thought to share as well…..I am short-4’11, and with my 1st at 20yrs old, I started out at 105, and started showing around 4-5 months, it was like all of a sudden….boom!, big belly!, then with my 2nd, I was 24, not the lucky type to quickly drop the baby weight, so I was roughly 150, and started showing around 3-4 months, now I’m 7 weeks into my 3rd, 28 yrs, still a little on the heavier side- although I still have a nice curvy shape, so I’m not too overweight, and my jeans are starting to fitt a bit tight, not sure if its from the bloating or the pregnancy?(I’m eating healthy & not over induldging) this time a round has been totally different from the last two so far! So I’m a little anxious for my first U/S with this one, can’t wait to see the real baby bump!! congrats to all!
I am around 12 weeks I am 5’2 and 128 I’ve noticed many pregnancies show early as for me I throw up a lot and the smells are an extreme bother to me does that have to do with me being unable to eat at days, plus I find it hard to take the prenatal vitamins and the iron pills is that bad?
I am 29 and 16 weeks pregnant. I didn’t find out until I was 12 weeks pregnant. I started showing less than a week later. I started out at 127 and now am at 143. I’m afraid I’m going to gain too much weight. My butt and thighs have gotten huge but I don’t have too big of a belly…..yet.
Hi, I liked your article. This is a good, educational site for pregnant women. Good work!
I’m 7 weeks pregnant n I’m already showing , this is my second baby and I’m stoked.
I am 7 weeks and 5 days. So almost 8 weeks. I am 20, 5’10 and weigh 135 so I’d say I am pretty slim..but being 2 months I am eating allllll the time..and constantly drinking water, so I am hoping that my little bump is just me being bloated..or full lol. But my mom says she started showing at about 3 months so I might just be one of those girls that shows pretty early. Regardless I wouldnt care when I started to show as long as my baby is healthy.
Dispite being overweight, I started to show very early. Of course I was carrying twins so yeah that made a difference.
Hi, Im 27 and pregnant for the first time. Before I was pregnant, my weight was 128 and I’m 5’7″. Currently I’m 17 weeks, weigh 134 and my pants are just starting to feel uncomfortable. I was extrememly active before my pregnancy and I continue to attend my weekly arobic classes. I usually wear size 4/6. My size 6 pants are heaven, the 4′s not so much. I would say I’m officially starting to show. I have a little bump. Most people say they can’t tell I’m pregnant. When I’m in front of the mirror naked it is obvous that my abdomen has started to protrude.
So looks like I’m starting to show during the 5 month range. Hope this helps!
I started showing earlier with each child.
Congrats on your baby bump, Rita! I started showing at around 6 months and I thought it took forever! Good luck!
Wow, Tita…that’s really early to be showing. Congrats on your little one!
i am 7 weeks pregnant with my second child. i am 5’8 and with my 1st child (who is 4) i was 260 pounds. i didnt start noticable showing untill i was 7-8months, . after her birth i lost 85 pounds.( i was at 285 after she was born)but about a week before i found out i was pregnant this time i realized my 1st prego stretch marks seemed darker and i felt my tummy getting bigger, i know ima show really early but im so excited t finnaly have a baby belly and not just feel fat
im 14 and about 5 weeks pregnant . im 5’6 & 150 lbs. I feel like im already showing. I have a small bump & its kinda hard. might just be bloating ? is it normal to show this early ? congrats to all the prego ladies out there hope you guys have healthy pregnancy (: & thank you GOD for my wonderful gift .
With my first pregnancy, I didn’t really show at all until month 6. This time around, I’m only 6 weeks and starting to show a little!!!
Hi i’m on my third pregnancy, i’m 25 y.o 5’6 and weigh 200 lbs. I’m 10 weeks and 3 days and am already showing.
When I was pregnant with my son at 17 I didn’t show until I was about 28 weeks pregnant, when I was pregnant with my daughter I was 20 I started showing at about 20 weeks now with this one I’m showing a lot sooner.
I’m very excited yet very confused as to why i’m showing so soon…
I guess it does depend on the number of pregnancies one has since the muscles aren’t as tight as they were when being pregnant with the first child.
Congrats on the new and renew moms_to_be

Just found out I am preg (7-8 weeks they said), 5’3 185 (size 16) yikes, I hope that I don’t gain too much more weight. Thank you for all writing, it is good to know that there are others like me who are wondering about when they will show…I can’t tell if I am showing at all because my belly is big anyway. I guess I will know when someone at works ask me…LOL

hello all,
check out the belly bands on http://www.hippsy.co.uk, they are very comfy and flexible, had 3 of them in different colours, saved me a fortune on preg clothes…
I am 22 years old, 5’7″ and 156.5 (Size 6-8) pre-pregnancy. My husband and I decided to start trying to conceive , and were successful on our first try (literally).
I will be 5 weeks tomorrow, and have been dizzy/tired for the last week or so, and have had some nausea, but only thrown up once. I now weigh 154 (loss of 2.5), but my husband says my belly is already showing! I think it’s just bloating (logically), but my pants are definetely tight. I have a pretty curvy build to begin with, but my belly has been pretty flat up until now.
I am large chested to begin with (36 DD since age 15), and my bra is very uncomfortable by the end of the day (underwire mostly). I am very worried that my boobs will continue to grow and that I’ll have trouble finding a good bra.
All in all, i’m doing great and we’re SO excited. It was fun to read all of your posts, ladies. God’s blessings are infinite!
I’m 17 and found out on christmas eve I’m pregnant. Trying to get an appointment with my obgyn in the next week or so. I would only be exactly 5 weeks. I’m 5’2 and 120 pounds prepreg. I’m not sure how much I weigh right now. This is my first child and I’m so happy! I’m anxious to start showing and readying all this 20 weeeks thing where people don’t show its really making me sad. But people in my school that have had babies have started showing in the third month or so.

Hi, I am 26 years old and I start to show with my first child at 3 months..everyone thought i was having twins. he came out at inch long and only weight 5 lbs. and I am now on my second baby and about a month pregnant and my belly starting to and I feel the growing pains lol. I have heartburn, thirsty all the time, hungry alot, and have heat flashes this time around, but with my first I didn’t have no symptoms. Just grow a big belly.

hey,
im 18 weeks pregnant and i find it hard to eat ANYTHING i barley eat during the day does anyone no what i can do to help this ?
6 weeks w my third and my belly looks how it did at 16 weeks w my first two. No idea how to hide it until week 13.
My first child i was very underweight and gained over 50lbs. I started showing a lot around 4 to 5 months. The second one iam 106lbs and 9 weeks. I am really bloated. Not reallu gaining very much weight at all. Cant wait to start showing cant wait for my next ultra sound very excited!
O my goodness
7 weeks along on my third child and I look like I was 7 months pregnant with my other two children.
I am pregnant with my first child. I am 6 weeks along and I can’t wait to show.
With my first daughter i was so little people couldnt tell i was pregnate till 7 months and when i delivered i was only as big as other women were at 5 months with my second daughter i showed earlier but still only got as big as a 5 month pregnate lady looks according to my daughter because i my uterus only mesaured 25 weeks because i carrided low but i have a 7.6 19 and half inch daughter and 6.11 19 and a half inch daughter and was back to my normal wieght after so you can be small and have healthy babies as long as you eat healthy
I am 5′ 10″ and weighed only 140 when I got pregnant. I had just gotten married two months before conceiving and was in great shape. I had no morning sickness just an increased appetite. I gained about a pound a week from the beginning and at 21 weeks finally started to show. I was so sick of hearing “you don’t even look pregnant.” In my head I was thinking how can I not look pregnant where has the 20 pounds gone. But I eat pretty healthy and still work out so I guess your body will just done what it wants when you are pregnant.
im only just gone 1month pregnant and im starting to get a little podge already and im sick of feeling hungry all the time and haveing morning sickness but cant wait for my first scan
With my first pregnancy, I never did show….grrr! I even lost 40 pounds with the pregnancy, since I had morning sickness all nine months. Though, in the end we had a beautiful healthy 7 1/2 lbs baby girl. I am hoping that with number two, I will actually LOOK pregnant!
Hi…. ummm i might be prego im not for sure! I might be a month and a couple of days but im spotting is that normal. I don’t want anything to be wrong with my baby can omeone help me!
im maryann and im 21 years old..im 6 weeks pregnant and already showing a small baby bump…i have a soon to be 3 year old son who was 10 lbs…i showed early then also..i hope i dont have a gigantic baby!
I am 21 and this is my first pregnancy. Im 5’9 and weigh 140 pre pregnancy(gained 30 pounds so far). 32 weeks in and I am just starting to show.I am very slender and its very embaressing because every one thinks that Ive let myself go and put on a bunch of weight when really Im pregnant! I just want my belly to pop so people stop looking at me funny when I tell them Im pregnant. Both my mom and grandma didnt show till they were as far along as I am so if you ladies are curious when you will show they might be good people to base it upon.
I am 20 years old, pre pregnancy I weight about 100lbs and I’m 5’1. I started showing at about 11 weeks believe it or not. I believe it is because I am a smaller build. I had my first ultrasound at 12 weeks 5 days, I was told that baby was a bit bigger than how far along I was. But there was only one baby (that we could see).
Hi, i’m 17 weeks pregnant of my first baby
. I’m 36yrs 5’5 125lbs pre pregnancy and I started showing around week 15. Can’t wait to start feeling the little guy 
im 7 weeks 1 day, && iv already gained weight the shorts that i usually fit in perfect is now too tight. I have a feeling ill start showing in about 5 weeks. This is my first pregancy and im 5’4 140 (pre preg) .
im 211 weeks nd 6 days prego nd im barley even showing only little bump thats it
5’5″ 120 prepregnancy weight- am 19 weeks now. I started getting a little belly 8 weeks in. It could be that i’ve always been thin that my uterus had nowhere to hide! I definitely got a belly now. Its a good size for being nearly 5 months.
I am 5″6 and currently pregnant with my first child. I noticed my mid section growing but i think it is only within the last week that it is at the point where people will do a double take and are unsure whether or not to ask about it. I am 29 weeks as well so i think i have been very lucky!
I am 5ft2 and a uk size 8, 16 weeks and have a VERY noticable bump! I started showing pretty early, had a little bump at about 12 weeks but people started to notice a few weeks before. I have been told it is because of my small frame. Loving having a bump!!
im 12 weeks, & im so little i feel like my tummy is just jiggly ;( i wish i could get round already!
Ok, here’s my story. I am a 19 year old girl weighing at about 205 lbs pre-pregnancy. I am about 5’4″ which means I’m a bit over-weight (Says my doctor). I am 20 weeks pregnant today which means I am half way there! I started noticing my little bundle of joy kicking at around 16 weeks. I started noticing I was REALLY pregnant at around the same time at 16 weeks. I have gone to ONE dr’s appointment because me being so young and a single mom, I need to save my money because I know I’m going to be on leave for awhile. I just haven’t had enough time to go to another sppointment. But needless to say, I check my self out all the time. I keep track of everything and if anything abnormal happens, I just catch a rest and I’m back up after a day of just relaxing. I gained a total of 15 pounds, and i feel like Im carrying high. Does this mean Im with girl? Kelscy Ryan? or Kelvyn James? hmmm… I cant wait until my little bundle comes to play, but s/he can stay in as long as s/he needs to get all well and formed correctly.
) Pray for me!
I am not trying ot be rude here…but I started reading this article because I am newly pregnant. The difference is I am married and 29 with my first baby. I am reading a lot of posts on here about girls 16, 17 years old (one even 14!!) that are saying they are pregnant and so excited…and ready to start showing! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Why are you having sex in High School? Babies are blessings no matter what, but posting on message boards and comment columns that you are so exicted and ready to show…??? You have no idea what you are in for little girls…I just hope your mother will watch your babies so you can still go to prom!!! You should be ashamed of yourselves… where are your parents??
i am in the average weight range and fairly healthy, i thought i started showing at about 8 weeks but actually it was just me being bloated due to so many body changes, as i got further along the bloating went down and i started showing at about 12-13 weeks. since then he hasn’t stopped growing, now my bump is huge, people keep asking if i’m having twins, or if i’m due soon,i am 30 weeks now and this is my first baby. He is a very big baby, hoping he doesn’t get too much bigger!!
Also Ashley Wright every mother has the right to be excited about bringing a life in to the world no matter what there age, it is not fair to judge them
I was 107 when I found I was pregnant with my first child at 4 weeks. I started showing by the 12th week but barely now I am 20 weeks and anyone can tell I am pregnant! I am now 130 pounds
Heyy. I’m 17 and I’m 4 almost 5 weeks pregnant. I’ve been extremely tired and I eat like non-stop, I’m hungry ALL the time!! I can’t wait to start showing
and I would like to say to the lady that was complaining about teenagers getting pregnant, it’s our life NOT yours so don’t judge and don’t sit there and act like you didn’t have sex in high school. Congrats to all the expecting mommies

Im around 15 wks. I still fit into my regular jeans and shirts. Im 5’3. Weight was around 130 pre pregnancy, im not fit but i am deff. active. i only gained 8 lbs in my first trimester. Ive had morning sickness since week 6. Still hasnt gone away so that could be a cause. If you dont know im preganant you would only think ive gained a little weight. Not so much a bump just a pudge. Ive been watching what i eat and trying to stay away from the “typical” craving food. This is my first baby.

I am 4 and a half weeks pregnant and I allready have a visible bump is this normal?
First pregnancy, 5′ 8″, 120 pounds. Bought maternity clothes and then waited……and waited……..and waited………finally I was seven weeks from delivering and decided to wear the clothes! When I went to the hospital to deliver the staff didn’t know which of us was the patient; my mother, my sister or me!!
