Question

Hi
my girlfriend will be 12 weeks tomorrow
but has had quite bad morning sickness.
She has lost a little weight due to this
but has been to see the doc who has
checked her out and said she's fine. Her
friend said she should be 'showing' by now
but there is not even a little bump yet??
When is the average time you start to
show? She goes for a scan in 2 weeks so
hopefully it will put our mind at rest!
Thanks!

This varies wildly between women.
I didn't show at all at 18 weeks, whereas
some girls show as early as 12 weeks.
Typically a woman may notice her clothes
are a little tighter by 12 weeks and will
begin to show in the 4th - 5th month
(16-22 weeks).
And how much a woman will show varies
wildly too.

I didn't show until like 30 weeks and even
then nobody could tell I was pregnant. It
wasn't until 34 weeks or so that people
started asking when I was due and stuff.

I started to thicken a little at 12 wks
but you couldn't tell that I was pregnant.
Shortly thereafter however I ballooned
outwards at an alarming rate. By the
time I was around five months people kept
looking at me like I would go into labor
at any given moment...

I didn't really "show" until about 20
weeks or so... But a stranger couldn't
tell I was pregnant until a few weeks
after. Now, at 38 weeks, I don't think I
could get any bigger!  don't stress about
what her friends say, every woman shows
differently and at different times. I had
people saying that I was showing too early
and they thought I was "eating too much"

I definitely wasn't showing at 12wks! I
didn't show until .I was about 18wks
along. &.Since then (.I'm 23wks now)
.I've been blowing up! She'll start
showing all in due time!

I agree with the other posters, every
female and every pregnancy is different,
some females just do not show until later.
I just hope that she does not get
dehydrated. It is great that she has a
boyfriend that cares and I am glad that
she is going for an ultrasound, I agree
that it will help put her mind at rest. I
wish the both of you the best and we are
here for both of you!

with different people
