I will be joining you guys in about a week. I'm curious when people began to show? I know I"m anxious for it and so is my husband :-)

I started showing around 18 weeks. But it varies for everyone.

Everyone is different. It seems to depend a lot on your build, as well as if this is your first pregnancy. I am slender and showed just enough for people who know me to tell I was pregnant at 12 weeks with my first baby. With this second pregnancy I just popped right out there though at about 10 weeks. I look at pictures and I am bigger now than I was at 18 weeks with my son. No weight gain, but because the muscles have stretched before everything just popped. Anyways, it is quite variable. I have a friend who is slender and really tall. She was barely showing even at nine months because her torso is so long and baby just had lots of room. It all just depends.

I always look twice as big as normal pregnant women but I have a large uterus and an ulcer (not dangerous). The smaller you are the longer it will take to show. If this is your first your body has to stretch everything so it may take a while. My cousin who is very tiny was 6 months when I realized she had a little bump.

I remember when I was pregnant with DS my doctor commented during my 5th month prenatal I was starting to look pregnant....so you'll get there!! This time I started showing end of 3rd month maybe. A lot sooner :0)

I'm a ftm and began to show 6 months on the dot. I'm glad it was so late because I cannot stand people trying to touch my belly!

My wife is almost 23 weeks and is starting show. I can now also feel the baby kick/punch/headbutt/whatever she is doing now occasionally.

I started showing about 2 weeks ago, I wore my regular skinny jeans until 21 weeks. I could still prob squeeze into them, but have some major muffin-top!

this is weird because im plus sized and started showing at 16 weeks. My stomach is really rounded at the top. People told me i was going to show when i was like 22-25 weeks.

FTMs GENERALLY start showing somewhere around 16-24w. But everyone is different. Be patient, the belly will be there soon enough!

With my first I didnt really show until 28 weeks.

ericaann413 · September 2012

For me I started to show about 12 weeks and this is my first. I am not super thin but I am not overweight either. However my uterus is tipped forward so that may be why I started to show earlier.

I knew my belly was bigger even just with bloat early on but until week 18 I still got the "you don't even look pregnant!"...which btw was the worst thing to hear. I'm a bit over weight to begin with and knew how much bigger I was, and it just felt like everyone always thought I was that big!Now my belly is round and def looks pregnant! Big change in just a couple weeks

ambmama · September 2012

I'm 23 weeks and just started showing a little. I'm tall so I was told I would show less until later.
