Short torso=showing earlier?
In some of the posts today that seemed to be mentioned, that tall/long torso would hide it longer, is that true?
I'm 5'7" but I have a relatively short torso. Anyone know? For the Moms, what were your previous experiences like?

Re: Short torso=showing earlier?
No one every actually told me that, but I have to say that when I was pregnant with my son, I showed really quickly and I showed A TON. It was like a torpedo!! HAHA!!
I will also say, I am not far along AT ALL this time but I'm REALLY bloated all of the sudden and I did LOOK rather pregnant in a couple of outfits I tried on this weekend. I know I was in maternity stuff by 18 weeks or so with my DS and and FULLY expect to be there much sooner this time around.
I am only 5'4", but what I DO have is mostly leg. So I think there is a correlation.
Yes, that is true. There is less room for the baby to spread out so you start to pop out.
I am 5'6" and have legs as long as my husband who is 6'. I was showing by 10 weeks with my first and expect an early show this time around too.
I am very short waisted and was in maternity clothes completely by 12 weeks with DD. It was completely obvious to everyone that I was pregnant by about 15 weeks. With #2, even though I am like 5 minutes pregnant, it is already a little uncomfortable to button my pants.
I am only 5'2", but very short waisted with long legs, and DH is 5'8", but with a really long torso and short legs. He always comments about how fast I walk...I just have so much more leg to stride with
I'm 5'10, and I don't have a short torso (I would say my legs/torso are fairly proportionate, but both are long) and I showed REALLY early. Like at 13 weeks, a stranger noticed I was pregnant and not getting fat. lol
I also am curvier and don't carry weight in my stomach, so I think that made it more obvious as well.
