Who is showing?

Lilpinkbean · December 2013

I am a first time mom. 16 weeks pregnant and not showing. Is this normal? (I am 5'6 about 140lbs and wear size 2/4.)

hatrats · December 2013

I am (to people that know) but I'm pretty sure to everybody else I mostly just look kind of fat.

kristine526 · December 2013

I am, to complete strangers too, since I had a ton of people ask me about my pregnancy on vacation. *I really wanted to be all "what baby?" but I didn't have the guts*

I was 5'3" 115 to start with, so there wasn't really anywhere for it to go but out.

Every woman is different though. It's normal.

RedInLove · December 2013

I'm 18 weeks and not showing yet either. Still wearing regular non-maternity clothes.

talkthewholetime · December 2013

I just look extra fat, I feel, but people who know me are nice enough to tell me I'm showing LOL

DaisyTortilla · December 2013

I'm 19 weeks. Have a very noticeable bump but haven't regained my pounds lost from my horrible MS. I don't understand how my bump can be so big. :-/

Edited to correct spelling.

This is seriously the thing I'm most excited about during pregnancy. I plan to respond like this, completely offended, to every single person that brings it up. I can't wait.

knash87 · December 2013

I was similar height and weight to you with my first pregnancy and I could tell I had a small bump at 16 weeks, but if you consider showing as in other people can tell you are pregnant, then I wasn't showing until past 20 weeks.

cchild101010 · December 2013

I'm a FTM at 16 weeks and I don't have a bump. I just look chubby like I ate a large meal. My boobs have become ginormous which makes it hard for me to wear a lot of my old clothes but not really ready for maternity yet. I just look like I need to hit the gym =(

BBer4 · December 2013

I've got a cute little round bump that strangers can even notice now. I'm sometimes thrown off when strangers comment on it because I still don't expect people to notice or be so sure that they will comment on it.

MrsT2008 · December 2013

17 weeks with #2, I've been showing for a while.

JAM85 · December 2013

FTM I am 16 and change and started showing at 15 weeks overnight really. Even had a total stranger comment on it yesterday and I thought I was wearing bump hiding clothes! I am not slim build either- more muscular with some very well distributed few extra pounds before BFP but everything is going straight out and is high so that makes it more obvious.

Lild09 · December 2013

I'm showing at 18 w 4 d and started to pop a belly about a week ago. Mind you it's small and depending on what I wear I can look totally non preggers, but when I throw on some skinny jeans and a form fitted top, there's a belly there . Most ppl think I'm not as far along though

FTM 5 ft 4 120 lbs fit pre pregnancy

Chellbell20 · December 2013

STM and I've been showing a couple weeks, I had someone in my grad school text another classmate to see if she knew if I was or not. With my first I was 20+ weeks before it was obviously baby and not just chubby looking. Heck I was still wearing non maternity until 25w and I carried low!

alphalyrae · December 2013

I've been showing since 13 weeks. I don't know why it's been so glaringly obvious as a FTM, but it is. Now at 19 weeks, I have strangers commenting and wishing me the best. It's still so strange, and sometimes I get caught way off guard and stare at people like I have no idea what they are talking about. Usually if DH or MIL or a friend are with me, they nudge me and look at my stomach and I usually sheepishly say 'Thank you!'. Heh.

ama7165 · December 2013

Ftm started showing around 17 weeks. Now at 19 weeks it's getting hard to hide it. Scribes at work hide it but most of my everyday clothes you can for sure tell. I am short, so there really isn't anywhere else it can go.

haylo33 · December 2013

I'm 16 weeks and starting to show. I'm 5'8" and 120 pounds so I figured I would show early. My family notices but that's cause they see me all the time. It's not noticeable to anyone else yet. I probably just look a little chubby. My husband calls my bump the ultimate food baby. It gets a lot bigger after I eat

Cynthia6206 · December 2013

18 weeks still not really showing.... Still look fat n not pregnant

Jillzy86 · December 2013

I'm 15 weeks and I'm still in the I think you just gained weight stage.

I am FTM at 15 weeks and I feel like I look the same way. The worst is when you know you have gained weight and don't fit in your clothes but people tell you that you don't look pregnant haha I had a lady at work tell me the other day that it looked like it was time for me to buy a bigger jacket, it almost made me cry haha even though it is true

I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow and I'm definitely showing. I'm a FTM, but am much like this ^.

awc1986 · December 2013

I'm 19 wks and had my first person give up their seat on a train for me at 18+2, but you can only tell when I'm wearing fitted clothes. I'm 5'3" and normally 130lbs.

DoodleDara · December 2013

I'm a FTM and started showing at 14 weeks to me but really popped at 16-17. Now my mom is making pokes saying twins run in our family because it grew so much from even just a week ago when she last saw me. Everyone is different though and I'm about 5'2" and started out weighing 122 in the beginning. I think the taller you are the more room your baby has to grow so you won't necessarily show until later. My husbands cousin is 6'2" and didn't show until 6 mos.

ckandi007 · December 2013

STM and def showing at 18w. With my first, I showed early. I'm not tall to begin with and with a short torso, a pregnant belly was present by 16w.

ShannonSky · December 2013

People started asking around 12w...but, this is my third pregnancy in four years and it's twins. At this point I feel like I look HUGE.

2014poppy · December 2013

I'm 17 weeks first timer and id say I'm showing but it's still in the did-she-eat-too-many-bagels range. I went on a beach holiday two weeks ago where most of it was spent in a bikini and I wanted to carry a sign that said I was pregnant.

momthatlifts · December 2013

Oh oh oh definitely NOT me. I guess my tummy looks more rounded now, but you would never guess there was a baby in it. Not even close

mmks · December 2013

With my 1st, I remember being so impatient to have my bump, but even on our babymoon at around 24 weeks, I STILL wasn't really showing...even in a bikini (looking back I just looked chubby - see???)! The bump finally came at about 27-28 weeks. I was one of those women who was all bump though (or that's what everyone told me). Plus the weight just melted off (nursing helped) after my son was born!

sws684 · December 2013

I still look awkward but technically showing.. I do just look fat though.. 17wks Tuesday.. FTM

sws684 · December 2013

Oops. It gives me option to "edit" but not delete. Oh well. Woops.

yvanehtnioj · December 2013

FTM, 5'5 size 8 pre-pregnancy. I have been showing to people who know for about 2-3 weeks. This weekend I wore a formfitting shirt and maternity jeans and it was obvious in general. I'm all boobs & belly, which I figured would happen.

This was how I was feeling, but the belly is starting to finally look more pregnant than fat.

I also think if my boobs weren't so big I might have looked more pregnant sooner. But who knows.

Christinaruth74 · December 2013

I'm a FTM and had some serious bloat initially, but around 13 wks I started to notice the bloat subside and the belly take over. Now I'm almost 16wks and very much showing. Started officially rocking the maternity pants this week. Woot woot.

jjtyler · December 2013

I am 5'8" and 130 pounds. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I am still able to do the rubberband trick around some of my jeans, but am in maternity leggings for the most part. I'm 17 weeks.

My 8 year old tells me that I look like an "ordinary girl", not pregnant...we went shopping yesterday and I thought I looked a little more "bump-like" than she did apparently. The fact that I have a bump at all this go around is exciting...I just got really fat all around last time.

I guess it looks like I had too much lasagna or something at this point...my waist is super thick...my boobs are huge...but that's really it.

JennyCraig · December 2013

I'm a third timer and started really showing around 14-15 weeks. I'm 17 weeks right now and look like a whale. LOL.

JennyCraig · December 2013

p.s. With my first pg, I didn't start showing until after 20 weeks!

Gia62 · December 2013

I am close to 17 weeks and not showing too much. I have a tiny bump but nothing too noticeable. I'm also a FTM.

munsterdani · December 2013

Very normal. I didn't show with my 1st until around 20 weeks and even then I was barely showing.

Pamelina81 · December 2013

From what Ive heard its totally normal. Im 16 weeks 5 days FTM and I look like im 7 months preggo. My sister who is 16 weeks also FTM (totally not planned) is the skinniest she has ever been! Some days she might look a little bloated. Every pregnancy is different.

caelynrae · December 2013

I'm a FTM and am 15w5d--my belly looks like it's popped already which shocked me because I thought it would take a lot longer...I was joking with one of my employees at work today saying I look like I have a baby beer gut and he got all serious and insisted that I definitely look pregnant ...another of my employees saw me today for the first time in a week and touched my belly and said "when did THAT happen ?!" I feel odd because I'm already in maternity clothes and all I can think is I'm already this big now I can't imagine what it's going to be like come may.....

dakota01 · December 2013

I am! It's ridiculous. I am the same as I was at 6/7 mo with my last one! If my DH makes one more comment about how big I am I will throat punch and not feel one bit bad!
