When will I start to show??

rissamonster87

I am 11 weeks and 6 days, 5'3, 206 lbs and I am wearing size 17 jeans. I'm worried that it is going to take me forever to "look pregnant"

Are there any other vuluptious ladies out there and if so have you started showing and when?

I know that everyone is different I was just hoping to hear from others how their experience was.

As another poster mentioned, if this is your first baby your uterus is still tucked behind your public bone until around 12 weeks. So other than bloating, no one shows that early

I am average size 6 and didn't look at all pregnant until suddenly at about 20 weeks. Even now though, with a very clear melon shaped bump I can dress certain ways and not look pregnant at all. But be patient, no one goes the full 40 weeks without looking clearly preggers!! And it is actually pretty damn annoying showing. I have total strangers asking about really personal baby related things all the time now and it pisses me off.

I'm 5'3 and was 140 when I got pregnant. I didn't feel like I was NOTICEABLE pregnant to others until about 26 weeks. Some people noticed at 24 weeks (I was a waitress so regulars who knew me noticed earlier). I really popped at 28 weeks though.

You aren't even in the second trimester yet. You'll show when you show.

I'm 5'7" and about 225 (have gained 6 lbs since getting pregnant).  I'm almost 19 weeks and don't look "pregnant".  My belly is definitely bigger and I have a more noticeable muffin top, but I  don't have the cute pregnant tummy. I'm just praying that I round out by the holidays!!!

Why? Why are you "worried" about it?

I'm 22 weeks and a bigger lady. I don't look pregnant at all, just fatter. If it happens it will happen, if not just be glad there's a healthy kiddo in there.

I'm 5'11" and I weigh about 210. I don't think I look pregnant, but I had a "beer belly" before baby. My husband says he can tell though. I think it depends on the individual.

I'm not at all voluptuous, and I didn't start showing Until 20-21 weeks. I personallly noticed some changes (breasts!) around 16-18 weeks, belly growing at 18-19 weeks but nobody noticed and it just looked like I'd just picked up wt.... only around 20 weeks did i start looking pregnant. Still a lot of people who don't see me often don't notice even at 21 wks. it varies for all women, even the same woman can have different experiences with each pregnancy, but I think everyone is different even among different or similar body types. if you are trying to "look pregnant" I find that maternity clothes make it more obvious.

I was a size 14 pant with DD: I started showing at 21 weeks with her.

Size 16 pant with DS: started showing at 16 weeks with him.

It is completely individual. Our experiences mean absolutely nothing for how your personal anatomy will function.

I am 5'4 and 150ish lbs and I started showing at about 23-25 weeks I have friends who weigh 50 lbs more than me or 30 lbs less than me and show earlier. It all depending on your individual body. And now I wish I would have enjoyed being able to fit in normal clothes a lot more.

I'm a little past 20 weeks and have considered myself 'looking pregnant' for about a month now. I'm 5'8" and weighed like 225 lbs pre-pregnancy.

Thank you for everyone who took time to share their experience. I was just looking to hear from others. I'm not by any means worried, so that may have been the wrong word, but I was curious. 

Thank you ladies!!

I feel you! I'm worried about it because I've spent so much time and energy hiding my food belly, that I want the world to know this is a baby belly, not just more being overweight. I know it's superficial considering I should be more worried about the health of my baby inside (which I am!) but that doesn't mean I'm not still self-conscious.
