2nd Trimester

When did you start showing?

and do you think smaller framed girls will start showing early?

Re: When did you start showing?

  • I think small girls can show early, there's a couple factors involved... I started to show at about 13 weeks but there's two in there!  I think you have a while to go :)

  • I'm small framed. Pre-pregnancy I was 5' and a size 4. Let's just say that people in my office were questioning me being pregnant around 9 or 10 weeks. I questioned my doc who said the baby had no place to go b/c I'm short and petite. In my siggy pic I'm 19 weeks, but if you check my blog you see some progress.

    GL!!!?

  • To people that knew I was pregnant, probably between 16-18 weeks.  I got my first stranger comment at 21 weeks (this past weekend).

  • Great question!  I was just about to ask, but on the opposite side.  When did ladies with a bit of a belly start to show?  I can't tell if I'm showing or if it's still my fat...I'm ready to claim it's the baby!

  • I really don't know, I've been told I've been showing a bit since week 12 or so...
  • i'm 15 weeks in my siggy and i'm "smaller." ?it ain't much but i'm working on it...
  • I think within the past week or two I've started to show...I'm short too, 5"1'...so I guess that's part of it..
  • I am a bigger girl and didn't really show until like 2 weeks ago...

    Smaller girls usually show a tad quicker unless you have a long torso.

  • My belly just popped out in the last week (at about 16-17 weeks). It's still easy to hide in clothes, but I sure see it! I'm thin but average height (5'6"ish). If it's your first and you're in pretty good shape it takes a while to show, I think...

    I'm 5'1 and was not exactly skinny... I started to show around 14 weeks or so but have not gotten a stranger comment yet.  I think I have a couple more weeks before that happens.  But everyone that knows I'm pregnant say I'm totally showing.

  • I started getting thicker around the waist at 14 weeks and had my first stranger comment at 15.5 weeks.  I'm not a small girl though.
  • I'm 5'2 and was only 100 lbs when I got pregnant...you could noticeably see my bump around 10 or 11 weeks. I guess I popped at 18 weeks

  • I'm 15 weeks and 5'2 and have a little fluff--> not big, just not tiny.  So far, I just look fatter.  I have only a few pants that fit.  Maternity clothes are still too big.  But, regular clothes don't really fit.  I wish I had a bump, but it's like the baby has just pushed the fluff out more. 

    I do think girls with a flatter stomach to start with would show earlier.

  • I'm short (5'4") but overweight and last time I was pregnant with twins and didn't show until 18 weeks (at which time I was measuring 28 weeks). Now I am 15 weeks with one and not showing at all, I don't expect anything for at least another month, maybe more.
    *** It's funny because I'm fat ***
  • I was still in regular clothes until 23 weeks.

  • I'm 5'4" and was about average size before I got pregnant. I started showing between 22-24 weeks. Most of my girlfriends started showing around the same time.
  • i'm by no means a small-framed woman... i was showing early with my frist pg...and really early this time around (but it's twins, too).

    I have weekly belly shots in my bio from my frist pg - you can decide.

  • I am 5'2 and never skinny skinny or fat either, just average.  And with my first I have all my pics in my bio, I think between 22- 26 weeks I started looking pg, rather than fat... The fat look is so not my style and that's how I look right now!  YUHHHH!!  at  9 weeks.. like ive let myself go. 
  • started showing at week 21,  still not asked by people that don't already know. I am 5'3'' and average weight.,
  • About 11.5 weeks I noticed what used to look like belly fat had hardened up quite a bit. By the end of my 12th week I looked early-stage pregnant when naked or in a tight shirt. What bump I do have is easily covered in a normal to baggy t-shirt though.?
