We need to define "showing." To the world I'm showing something, but I am not yet showing a baby.
When at my nt ultrasound at 12w3d the tech was pressing into my pelvic bone pretty hard. I pointed a good 5 inches higher to the big-bloated-belly and said to my husband, "oh, you probably thought the baby was all of this didn't you?"
This is my first pregnancy. I'm small build. And maternity pants are staying up just fine on their own...and I'm still not "showing--a baby."
To all of you upset about this post, I would ask you to read the description under the 12 week tab on the mobile app. The Bump says you may start having a "noticeably bigger belly" at this time. I find it ridiculous to get upset with someone for asking this question when this very site is telling them it's possible. While I agree that what is being seen is most likely not the baby for most people, it is possible.
Yes, some of you are VERY rude! Actually, I am showing at 12 weeks and it's not bloat, it's all baby. This is my second time around, and you start showing sooner than the first. But, the ones who are rude, clearly have the time to read every post... Go take a breather, you're funking up the board.

I am a second time mom also. I also know that the baby is the size of a plum. And being a second time mom does not mean you will necessarily show earlier. And definitely not at 12 weeks
The baby is the size of a plum but the uterus is a lot bigger then the baby and the app does say your UTERUS could be spilling out of the pelvic cavity by now. It even says you might start noticing a bump. Every woman is different. Just saying. This is supposed to be a support group and a friendly site so I dont really understand why people have to be this way. If it bothers you dont read it for crying out loud. Its not like she gave an inaccurate title to the post.
I'm 12 weeks today. I'm average frame and had a rather flat stomach. No matter how much I poop, fart, pee ect, ect, there's no denying that I'm pregnant. I can't hide it anymore and will have to announce soon. It's not "baby" that's showing..but it is my uterus growing including placenta, fluid, baby and bloat. Some people's perception of showing doesn't actually mean the baby itself..but the fact that the body is definitely changing.

LOL all baby that is no bigger than a plum right? Delusional.. Look it up.
Yes, I'm baby, uterus, placenta, and fluid. I'm showing. Every woman is different, and I definitely know my own body. What's delusional is thinking your experience is the same as mine. I could insert some snarky comment, that could possibly hurt some feelings. But I'll pass... My life consist of more than rude comments on a post. Good luck in life.
I seriously can't believe some of the rude mothers/women on here! It's still considered showing regardless if it's all baby or not. Your body is going thru the changes due to having a growing blessing inside you. Just because you may not be excited about the start of your bump or show until later doesnt mean you have yo be negative to others. This is supposed to be where us, mothers, can go to share our excitement, whether our first baby or not!
I don't understand why they even open the post in the first place. Obviously they were just as curious as the rest of us. Just move on to the next post. I am a first time mom in my 12th week of pregnancy this is the first week that I actually can see a bump which is so exiting to me. I haven't gained any weight so far and my dr says I do in fact have a bump. Even in the weekly bump updates, it says you may be showing since your uterus is now the size of s melon. Congrats to all the new moms, I wish you all a healthy happy pregnancy.
I agree! I don't know why people can't just pass up this post if they hate it so much. Some of the August moms just found out they are pregnant! Also every single persons body is different so those charts and the fact that you didn't start showing until 19 weeks if fine and dandy but a lot of women see changes in their bodies earlier too! My friend was 19 weeks at the same time as another was 14 and they looked exactly the same! Everyone should just try and be more patient and supportive. It makes me sad that as women we can't all just be nicer!
I don't see negativity just people annoyed, whats to point in asking am I showing? The fact that it comes up almost daily by people who haven't posted or commented on anything before is just getting stupid. And just because you don't like my opinion you can't tell me I shouldn't read or comment on certain posts.
This place has gone too soft. Its not all puppies and rainbows ladies.
I have a theory that if people that don't like these posts stopped commenting on them repeatedly, they'd disappear from the front page and stop clogging up the feed much faster. I could be wrong about that though...
please dont feel like you have to comment in every forum, on every thread and to every post. Its okay to skip or ignore a thread if you have nothing contructive, relevant or supportive3 to contribute.
Be the Change. Make no assumptions Take nothing personally Be impeccable with your word Do your best
All of you awesome ladies sound like second graders. "You're mean!" No, you're just misinformed and cannot mentally handle someone disagreeing with you. I could say the same to all of you - if you don't like a person's reply, then skip it! Except, I'm an adult, and I realize that this is a magical place called the internet. Your replies are far worse and far 'meaner' than the ones you are consistently complaining about.
Wow! Remind me not to ask a question on here! It's my first time and God forbid I break your high and mighty "protocol" and ask a "stupid" question. Some of you moms should be ashamed of yourselves!

Also, if you are new to the board feel free to read the TOU and use the search function. Because a dozen posts about "omg guise I'm 12 weeks and totes showing more than a food baby" does nothing but clog the board and irritate people who consistently respond to threads that haven't been beat to death.
Why bother having rules if they don't apply, especially to newbs?
