Q: Showing???
asked by: mama2bn05 on December 7th, 2004

I know everybody is different but i'd like to know when everyone started showing. I'm not real sure how far along I am because they keep pushing my due date back but hopefully on friday when I go in for my 2nd Dr. Appt. I can talk to my actual Dr. To find out how far along exactly he thinks I am. For now theyre saying i'm due june 24th. Anyways...Was just wondering when everyone started showing. I have a lot of people telling me they dont think i'll show very much because i'm to tall and skinny. (5' 7'' and 135 avg.).

I was 5"5 and 98lbs before pregnancy.

I'm 30 lbs as of last week, so who knows how much i've gained ever since then.

I started showing at 4 and a half months with a little pooch. Really really little, and it made me look more "fat" than pregnant.

I started getting a preggy belly around 21 weeks.

I started showing at 11 weeks. Its really different for everybody. The bigger you are to start with, the longer it will take you to show.

That's not true...It also depends on how you carry...I carried more to the back, reason I didn't start shwoing till later...I'm not a big person, i'm not fat...I'm average for my height....So you can't always say that...But that is ture in some cases.

Yeah well nothing's always true! Smile in more cases than not though, smaller people have less mass to hide a baby.

Were your Dr. Able to tell you exactly how far along you were? At first they told me I would be due june 5th based off my last period and then I went in for an ultrasound because I had been having cramps and bleeding and when they seen the pics they said I wasnt as far along as they thought. Then when I went in for my first actual Dr. Appt. They said I was due on the 25th of june. They said the placenta had been bleeding and thats what the blood was from but that everythang healed up fine.

If you're talking to me, yes. I went in for my first appointment at 6 weeks. They gave me my due date and they never changed it.

My last period was in aug. And I tested after I missed my period in sept. And I got a neg. And I kept getting a neg. Until almost the end of oct. So they based my first due date of june 5th off my last period, then when I had an ultrasound they didnt think I was as far along as they thought I was so they set it to june 24th. They just havent told me how far along they think I am though. The only information theyve given me is my due date.

Hey! I was just like you, I am 5'7 and weighed about 125, so I was pretty skinny. I didnt start showing until about 15 weeks, but only I could tell really. Others were able to tell around 20 weeks or so. It all depends on the person, everyone is different

I was 5'5 - 5'6 and 110 lbs. Pre pregnancy, I started looking "fat" before I even knew I was pregnant ( I didn't find out 'till I was 2 months) I gained a little over 50lbs. Throughout the whole thing!!! I was huge!

With my first daughter, I was 5:3 and about 105 pounds before I got pregnant. I started showing with her at around 18 weeks. And it didn't look like a pregnant belly it just looked like a pooch. At about 25 weeks it started looking more like a pregnant belly.
With this pregnancy, I was 5:3 tall and 95 pounds before I got pregnant. (yeah I lost all of previous baby weight, then some!)
i started showing at about 10 weeks! It was just a little pooch but it was still there. I started looking actually pregnant around 18 weeks. Now i'm 26 weeks and its very obvious i'm pregnant. My last appointment was monday and I weighed 108 so i've gained 13 pounds so far. Seems like it should be more than that

it's not really the bigger you are the longer time it takes to show. It's actually the way you carry your weight.

Im 19 weeks now, and im not showing for people to notice I am pregnant. I have a little pooch from 16 weeks but then again, my shirts have gotten tighter around the stomach area, so to some they might catch it and others might think im putting on weight.

Well i'm 19 4'9 92lbs but I weighed myself a week ago and the scale said 96lbs and if I am preggo I would be 3 weeks and 3 days and my tummy I swear already looks a bit bigger and it feels tight even the daddy of the baby ( if I am preggo ) says I must be preggo it's not a bloating tight because it has been tight for about 1 week but I don't know yet

and I am told more then likely I will be all baby if I am so it's going to suck for me for how small I am
