When did you start showing?

I feel like a giant and I don't know if its normal. This is my second pregnancy I have a 3.5 yo and I don't know if my body is remembering and changing quicker or what. I honestly look like I did when I was about 16 weeks last time.

I haven't gained that much weight 4 lbs, but I look so much bigger. I'm only 5'2", so maybe its because I don't have a longer torso?? Is this normal?

Re: When did you start showing?

  • Between 12-14 I could definately tell and by 16 everyone else could tell I had a little bump. Then I think my belly just started expanding each day!

  • This is my  3rd pregnancy and I have a definite bump.  I can hide it under baggy clothes though.  The dr. said my uterus is halfway to  my belly button.  I am 10 weeks.

  • Oh I was showing around 10/12 weeks.  I was already in maternity jeans by 8 weeks.  FWIW I am 5'9" and my babies were just over 5lbs when they were born, I just popped soon! :)

  • I had a noticeable bump (to me) at 10 weeks. First pregnancy. (also 5'2")  However I didn't tell coworkers till 12 weeks and nobody had noticed. I wore lots of scarves!
  • I'm very tall and have a long torso - I don't think it was obvious to the outside world that I was pregnant until close to 20 weeks!

    Ditto this.  Probably around 19-20 weeks (it was my first pregnancy though!)
  • Oh goodness! I'm almost 5'2" and swear short torso does take the blame! I started showing (for others) at 12 weeks exactly...overnight bump. Since we are about same height you might be interested in seeing my belly... my link to blog is in the bottom there is a tab for twin belly.. enjoy! lol
