When did everyone start showing ?

eregan5

This is my first baby and I know its early but I don't feel like I am showing at all. At night I feel like I am really bloated, but in the morning I can only see a little pudge. I want to start to show because now that I feel a lot better its hard to remember I am pregnant. Hopefully its not a bad sign I am not showing : (  I am a worrier!

I started to show a little around 16 or 17 weeks

To me, around 10-11 weeks.  To the general population, around 14-15 weeks.  It's funny to watch people's eyes go to my stomach now.

Baby #1 - 16 weeks. 

Baby #2 - 12-13 weeks.  I was comparing pictures of my pregnant belly the first time around and my belly this week, and right now I look like I did when I was 30 weeks pregnant with my first child. (I'm 23 weeks now)

15 weeks I was visibly pregnant. but this is my second.

Between 20-24 weeks with the first one. ~14 weeks along this time and so far no show. Don't worry, everyone shows at different times and as long as you're taking care of yourself, it should be no problem. Plus, I promise by 40 weeks you'll feel like you've been showing forever, no matter when you pop!

When the sperm met the egg. (And I felt that happen, by the way.)

No, I'm kidding. I started to get a teeny tiny bump at 13 weeks and popped at 15 weeks. Overnight. It was slightly insane.

But every woman is different.

The past week or two. Although it's still really small/flat in the morning, haha.

I felt the same way when I was as far along as you are. I kept waiting and waiting for my bump to appear. I'm 19 weeks and a couple of days and I'm just now starting to notice a tiny bit of a bump. However, I think it's mostly only noticeable to me. I went to DH's company party last night and people I just met didn't even know I was pregnant. Kind of frustrating not feeling pregnant, I completely understand! Just recently I've been able to feel some kicking going on in there, though, so that's at least comforting and makes me "feel pregnant." I think it depends on your body type. I was underweight before getting pregnant so I think it's taking longer for me to show.

I have to say it depends on your height and your ab conditioning pre-pg. I'm 5'10" and I'm almost 26 weeks and I'm not obviously showing to strangers yet. Just keep in mind that the top of your ute reaches your belly button at 20 weeks. So if you're tall, like me, there's still a lot of room left at that point! But I think I'm in the minority. When I look at bumps on HDBD, I realize that most people in my week range are much bigger than me now.

Thanks Everyone ! I guess I was just worrying and there is not really a set time, but I hope its soon

katlizabeth

Probably to others around 15 weeks with my first.

This one...I'd say 15 or 16 weeks to others (I started larger and flabbier this time, so I just kind of filled out my chub before then)

dianah36

Baby #1 = 18 weeks

Baby #2 = this weekend (14 weeks)...I look like I did when I was ~20 weeks with my first!

I am 16 weeks and no one can tell except DH and best friend. I look in the mirror and I really am not so sure if I am showing or ate too much. Several coworkers have remarked that I am not showing yet.

kelslynie

It was the same for me when I was 14 weeks. I had a teeny bulge that would sometimes be there, sometimes not. It wasn't until around 16 or 17 weeks that my belly was actually beginning to round. Don't worry about not showing yet. It depends woman by woman and it sounds like you are right on schedule. Don't worry, your belly will be doing plenty of growing from month 4 and on! Month 5 especially.

Here's to show you what my belly looked like when it actually started showing, at 17 weeks:

About 24 weeks.

I'll be 17 weeks on Wednesday and I've just sorta started noticing a bump.  DH and my mom can tell too

Nobody else can apparently....I was at the mall and asked a woman near us if she liked her snap and go- she gave and a weird look and I told her I was trying to decide what I wanted to get and just wanted her opinion and she gave me the side-eye and said, "are you even pregnant?" and walked away...lol.... guess she wasn't the right person to ask.

I just started to show this last week.

lovejoyinme

i know how you feel. this is my first and i am waiting to show so that i will feel more pregnant. i have a very tiny bump that only mh and i notice, and my close family. i am hoping that soon i will just wake up with an obvious bump! 

Pats&Adri

I just started "showing" slightly this past week. Actually, everyone just recently starting commenting that they could finally see a bump showing.

*MrsMac

To family and friends, I started showing about 5 weeks ago.

 I have yet to receive my first stranger comment. Although, I see people playing the "fat or pregnant" game all the time.

 I haven't taken my 25 week picture yet. This is me last week.

scarlett29

at thanksgiving i had a little teeny tiny bump. Now im showing a lot more! but not enought for a stranger to ask when im due or anything

nde99

I've just started to show this week.  My family & friends notice it, but I'm sure anybody in public just thinks I just had a huge meal. 

normajeane6126

It was pretty obvious by 13 weeks:

 

And for comparison, here's 20 weeks: 

 

kaswanson

People just started to tell me I'm showing/asking to touch my stomach this past week at 21 weeks.  They said it was just overnight.  Feels like I gained 5 lbs this week... harder to move around and sleep at night already.  Crazy.

stahlop

I have finally started showing in the past few weeks.  I think I definitely look pregnant now, but even last week there were people who didn't know who were afraid to ask.

AliandJimmy

I would say that it started to become obvious to people that knew me around 18 weeks. 

urbanflowerpot

Oh my gosh! Seeing all your photos just made me smile I've been so camera shy since becoming pregnant, but I need to get over that because I know I'll want them later.

For me - at 13 I felt like I popped - but at work yesterday my coworkers really saw it for the first time (they hadn't seen me in a week) - strangers don't notice, though that may have to do with bulkier winter clothes.

I'm 5'10" and lean/wide hip bones since they say body type is what matters. I feel like I'm carrying low/wide.

ladycee

I would say I started showing around 13-14 weeks, but that was only visible to my husband and me. Others could tell I was showing around 16 weeks. I'm almost 19 weeks now and if I have a coat or a hoodie on you still can't tell. I'm really short, 5'2", but baby is still sitting really low in my pelvis. I really hope I don't get as big as some of the women in my family have because we're all so short and baby has no where to go, but out!

mishu917

24 weeks for people that I knew and 27 weeks for strangers. No one noticed before 24 weeks!

fairychick77

15 wks with DS

12 wks with this baby

Angel0423

17 weeks

timnerin

I'm 15 weeks... 5'4" and wider hips - my mom says women in our family were built to make babies!  I thought i would have been carrying wide but i'm actually carrying out in front... To me I popped about a week ago but my husband said this past Saturday he could really notice and now he can't stop staring at my belly!!!

labooshki

Crap, by 14 weeks I was huge...lol...but this is my 2nd. With my first I seriously didn't have a bump until about 22-23 weeks.

ManiacMcGee

I noticed at the end of 15w.  Everyone else starting noticing last week (19w)

erin3182011

This is my first, and I was visibly pregnant @ 15-16 weeks.... I am now VERY pregnant looking, lol.. I get told alot that I am bigger then I should be at this point, but my weight gain is right on track and I am measuring perfect, so i'm not worried. :-)

This. I am 6'0" tall.  When I was pregnant with my son, I didn't really even start showing until around 6 months along.  I mean I'm not exactly a thin girl either so that didn't help.  So with that said, I am not expecting myself to start really showing for awhile.

Everyone is different don't stress, it's not good for the baby! I started showing around 16-17 weeks!
