2nd Trimester

17 weeks and barely showing

How far along do you really start showing?  I am 17 weeks and I have a very small baby bump now.  It's not very noticeable unless I wear something that accents my belly.  When do you really start showing?

Re: 17 weeks and barely showing

  • I'm two days behind you. I don't have a round belly yet but have one small bump. Not really showing either. I gather that if it's your first, you may not start to show until 20 weeks. I sure do feel it growing everyday though! :) Baby woke me up at 3am last night from his/her movements!

  • With my first pregnancy, I didn't really start showing until around 20 weeks.
  • sounds about right to me...even with my second I was barely showing at 17 weeks.  I "popped" at 19 weeks.  You will have plenty of weeks to have a big 'ole belly.
  • i'm 16 weeks and just feel like i look fat
  • With DD I had a small bump at 20 weeks, but didn't really look pregnant until 25 weeks.  I'm a little bigger this time around, but not by much.

  • I'm right there with you.  Just like PP mentioned, everyone I talk to seems to say that 20 weeks is like the golden week for really starting to show.
                      Well, we're on our way to 3 kids, 3 and under.

  • With my first I didn't show till almost 25 weeks or so, I was hoping now that with my second, I would show a lot sooner but I am at 19 weeks and it just looks like I ate a big dinner :( lol

    I'm anxiously waiting to fit nicely into my maternity clothes but I'm sure there's lots of time for that.

  • Yep, 20 weeks is the magical week. I am almost 22 weeks and I have a legitimate pregnancy belly now. Sticks out all the time and is hard. Of course, I have had a bump for awhile now but that is because LO is very far forward. My belly button cave is also getting very small. I'm sure that it will pop out any day now. Still now Linea Nigra yet.
  • With DD I still had a very small bump at 20 weeks. You couldn't really tell I was pregnant until around 25 weeks.....

  • I didnt really show with DD until 22-23 weeks.  Same story this time but Im having twins this time and im not really showing.  its really hard to envison myself with a big baby belly because Im almost halfway done with being pregnant.
  • I'm 19 weeks and no one can tell a thing.  That's a plus and a negative of being plus sized.  I wear scrubs to work and jeans and t-shirts regularly, so I don't really wear much tight or form fitting clothes.
  • I'm 21 1/2 weeks and just started showing in the last week or so.

  • Not until 28-30 weeks or so with my first. I carried really small and unless I was wearing a body hugging shirt, you couldn't tell at all.
    "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut
  • when i was at 17 wks, my bump was small in the morning and grew during the day as i ate. but now my bump is more obvious and is the same size all day long.  so i guess its safe to say ive popped... but this has only happened within the past wk or so.
  • ME TOO!!  I'm 17 weeks and I look like I ate a big meal but that's it.  For some reason when I wear maternity shirts it's more obvious.  Not that I need to wear them... I'm just getting impatient, lol.
  • In the last three days I have felt growth and the all of a sudden I popped overnight! Still small but you can tell I am pregnant now. This is my first one too so I thin around 20 weeks is accurate. Smile
