When do you normally start showing???

McKim88 · August 2013

I found out at the dr. Today that I am 5 weeks 3 days, and I feel like my belly is poking out more then it should this early....could I be showing already or maybe just bloated???

ChristyChae' · August 2013

Most likely just bloat

AcaAwkward · August 2013

Probably bloat. I didn't stat showing with my first until about 20 weeks.

TheatreStar86 · August 2013

It's bloat at this point, but I know what you're talking about for sure. I think it won't be til the end of first tri that we'll start showing.

Bloat!

NicoleAnne416 · August 2013

bloat. I was 18 weeks or so when i showed with my first.

Big bloat. My mother in law and my neghbours already asked me if I`m pregnant. But a gave birth to my angel baby Maria in April so there`s still a part of the belly from that pregnancy+ the bloat.

Definitely bloat! I'm a tiny person and I didn't show until 18 weeks with my son.

There's a diagram that shows how big your uterus is month to month. I don't have it saved. It doesn't even get above your pelvic bones for awhile.

@DemoDoll - I think I've seen you post it before?

Yeah I started to look flubby at about 16 weeks with DS and didn't get a cute pregnancy bump until like 20 weeks. Then the cute bump became enormous and awkward by about 28 weeks and I would run into stuff with it all the time. So I looked cute pregnant for only 2 months.

McKim88 · August 2013

Lol ok thx y'all, this is my first so I'm full of questions :-/

christina627 · August 2013

Yeah, bloat for now. With DS I was about 16 weeks when I really noticed I was showing and by 20 weeks ppl were starting to comment. With my second I showed a bit earlier.

christina627 · August 2013

I'm going to a wedding back home when I'll be about 14.5 weeks and I'm hoping by then to have a tiny bump to show off when we announce to our family and friends back home.

thomas930 · August 2013

I'd go with bloat for now, I'm feeling it too. I was about 18 weeks when I started showing with my first and about 15 weeks with my second.

bornmommy · August 2013

I didn't really start showing until 19/20 weeks last time. Its most likely bloat my dear

jap618 · August 2013

It's just bloat. Here is a diagram of how your uterus grows. Right now it is well below your pelvic bone:

NicoleAnne416 · August 2013

Jap618.. your siggy has me dying laughing considering where that graphic is located under this diagram lol

jap618 · August 2013

HAHAHAH Oh that is funny! It took me a second to realize what you were talking about.

Wysbaby · August 2013

Ppl have told me the more kids u have the earlier u show with each 1... This is #3 so I'm sure I'll be showing faster with this one than my other babies but I did start to show by 4 months wit my last child and my 1st by 6months so its probably true.... I'm hoping to hide until around 4mons

hlc820 · August 2013

Bloat. I always checked by laying flat on my back. If my tummy went flat I knew I was still bloated. Once you really start showing you will know for sure!

Damn you! I was the diagram girl! Lol I kid.

MrsOfficer474 · August 2013

The question is: Is there anything we can do about the bloating?!?

cyclek8bride · August 2013

I've found drinking tons of water to help keep the bloat down. Also when you show depends on torso length. My petite neighbor has a long torso and she only needed maternity pants in her last couple months. My sisters took six months or so to show. I on the other hand was showing by my forth month.

thepirateswife · August 2013

Before conception--lol! I've been carrying extra weight for a few years now, and sometimes people ask me if I'm expecting. Now, it will be nice to be able to say yes and spare the awkwardness. Btw, I think I showed at 16 weeks with #1 and 14 weeks with #2.

kylayton · August 2013

Definitely bloat at this point. I didn't show with my first until about 16-18 weeks.

LesleyH11 · August 2013

Bloat, I didn't show until I was around 18 weeks. However I do agree that when I got pregnant the second time, I showed between 9 and 10 weeks....or earlier lol!

Charlyse · August 2013

Bloat...I didn't start showing until Christmas with my daughter and her birthday is March 19th. I'm hoping I don't start showing with this baby until January.

mom2twin · August 2013

I think it depends if this is your first, second..multiples etc.

I didn't start showing with my twins until is was just over 17wks.
I expect with this one ill show earlier.
They say if it's your second+ you do tend to pop sooner than with your first... And based on seeing all my friends go thru their second pregnancies I'd have to agree that you pop sooner with your next!

jlrschmidt · August 2013

I started showing sooner than normal with my first. I have a strange body because I'm tall but my torso is relatively short, and I carry my weight in my hips, so my stomach (before pregnancy #1 of course) was pretty flat. So it was around 15-16 weeks. Maybe sooner. This time I'm sure it will be even sooner.

Beener0514 · August 2013

I started showing very early with my first. I took a photo each week in the same dress and this photo album shows you my progression. I think by week 11 you could tell I was pregnant.

Amvs77 · August 2013

This is my first pregnancy, so I'm not sure. I'm already a chubby person, though. I don't have a huge beer belly or anything, but it's not a flat stomach either. So I'm guessing I'll start to show at around 20 weeks. I'm only 4 weeks 6 days right now. I am definitely, definitely bloated though!! All of my pants are tight!
