2nd Trimester

Showing at 14 weeks..

So I am a first time mom and I have noticed that I am don't have my flat tummy anymore! I am sad but also really excited that I am starting to show because it's starting to feel real. At my last Dr's appt. I had lost two pounds which kinda worried me a little because I haven't been sick and still eat like I normally do. I guess that since I am starting to show a little more that I think I have gained too much weight too fast. I know I probably haven't or I would be able to tell when I wear my regular clothes. Anyone starting to show this early?

Re: Showing at 14 weeks..

  • I am 15 weeks, and while I wouldn't say I am showing, my pants are getting a little tighter in the waiste area... I also am still down about 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight...

     I wouldn't worry about gaining weight too quickly... Let you dr. be the one to let you know on that... eat healthy and work on feeling good!

  • I think I'm showing slightly. I basically notice the earlier bloat is dying down and not my pants just feel a little snug.

  • This is my second pregnancy. I was 40 lbs heavier with my first, so it took a lot longer to show. Now at 12 weeks and 2 days I'm already looking pg.
  • I was showing at 12 weeks enough for people around me to notice I was pregnant. I have gained so far a total of 13 pounds and it is a completely normal amount to gain.

    You can not compare yourself to others, every pregnancy is different, some people carry differently the others, and you will gain the amount of weight your body needs to gain for your little one.

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

  • I measured my waist quite obsessively before getting pg and I've gained a half an inch and 1 lb so far.
  • i had lost about 30 lbs before i got pregnant. but then i started to show around 13 weeks and now my jeans don't fit! (my skinny jeans, not my old fat jeans which i threw out) all my work clothes are still ok, because i kept them from before. But yeah, there's definitely a baby bump there and this is my first.

     i figure i'm showing so early because my stomach was probably stretched out anyway from before i lost the weight! 

  • It depends on what I'm wearing.  I could hide it if I wanted to.  They say 14-18 weeks are the most awkward.
  • Yup, I started showing at 14 weeks.  At the time I was worried that if I was showing already that I was going to end up huge.  But I think it has all evened out now.

    I agree with this. Around this time it just looked like I had a food baby in my belly. I didn't look noticeably pregnant until 18 weeks.

  • I am definitely showing-below my belly button it sticks out and it's solid.

  • I am starting to show a tiny bit. It is not all bloat either. I have always been really small and skinny at 112lbs so my flat stomach is no longer there and all I feel is hardness. I still have some bloat left around my hip area and some on my belly, but I can feel the bump!

  • I started showing at 14 weeks as well. I woke up one morning and my flat tummy was gone! :) My OB said I am showing/uterus size & placement is 2 weeks ahead of schedule! It went fast for me. In the last two weeks it has went from a bump to a soccer ball!
