Short and thin girls...I have a question for you?

BrandiGreen

Hey ladies,

Just curious when you started showing?  I know everyone is different, but wasn't sure if being short and thin would cause me to show quicker or later.  Thanks so much!

I have started to bet a bump within the last week. I finally had to get a pair of maternity jeans (btw, they make NOTHING for short skinny girls). Most people wouldn't notice my bump, but is totally noticeable to people that see me everyday.

I am 5'1 and petite and I started showing around 17 weeks.

I'm pretty short 5'2 and small and I didn't really "show" until 20 wks, even with my second.  I had a bump before that but it could be easily hidden and if you didn't know me well you would have thought I just put on a few lbs.  I think being short did make me get "bigger" than my taller friends though.

i'm 5'1" and weigh about 105 prepg.  i was showing early with dd (my first).  even though my weight was under the 'guidelines' due to ms, i had a huge baby belly by 16-17 wks but started outgrowing my clothes by 13wks.  i always measured ahead by a few wks with dd too (meaning my belly was big-not the baby).

don't even get me started on #2.  same song and dance (big belly, not alot of weight) but worse!  at 23wks i measured 28 wks!!  so not cute!

 that being said, my good friend is about my size and didn't show any earlier than most women.  so, maybe it's just my uterus

This is my second baby and I cannot for the life of me remember at what point I started showing with my first because well that was 10 years ago LOL but I know it was pretty early. But with this one it was noticeable to me around 8 weeks and I had coworkers approaching me by 10 weeks. Strangers commented around 13 weeks. I'm 4'11 and was 95lbs pre-pregnancy.

I am 5'2 and although I am having twins, I became noticeably pregnant at 14 weeks. I

Thanks so much for your help ladies! I'm just a planner and was figuring out the clothing situation.

Everyone pops diffrently so being small doesnt necessarily make a diffrence.  I am five foot and was 105lbs pre pregnancy & I started really showing this last week but I had a bloat that came and went around 13w

With my first, strangers didn't notice until 18/19 weeks.  With this pregnancy, I got my first stranger comment at NINE weeks.  (And I am short and thin).

I am shorter (5'4") & was thin pre-pg.  I used a bella band by 8 wks & was in maternity pants by 13.  Now it's super obvious.  For me I think it's mostly b/c I'm short waisted & b/c I cut way back w/ working out due to serious 24/7 m/s from wks 5-15.

Hey. Well this is my first pregnancy and I had to start unbuttoning jeans for comfort around 8 weeks. I am 12 weeks now and have to wear maternity pants. My fam started noticing a bump around 9-10 weeks. It is diff for everyone though, bc my best friend is also preggers. She is 13 weeks and she is really really showing. She is 4' 11" and 95 lbs prepregnancy. I am 5' 3" and 127 before pregnancy. You'll notice a bump before anybody else will.

I'm not really short (5'5"), but I weighed 110 lbs pre-pregnancy.

I was in maternity clothes at about 11 weeks.  

Right now I am definitely showing.

I've only gained 1 lb, but I look pregnant.

I've been working out 6 days a week for about 90 minutes a day.  Even with my bad m/s (started at week 4 and still going strong} working out is the only thing that makes me feel better other than Zofran.
