I'm almost 16 weeks and I'm about 5'10" with absolutely no bump. Are there any taller women that can relate? I'm under the impression taller women tend to not show for a while. Kind of sad I don't have a bump yet

lol

mybigfatgreekfetus · October 2015

That's what I thought, but then I popped really early- between 14/15 weeks! I'm 5'11" and relatively thin. You just never know with these things!

jonesl12 · October 2015

I'm about 5'10" currently 149 # and I just started to show a bit last week at 15 weeks . My placenta is posterior and I'm carrying out front. My bff who is 5'11 solid 140# at any given point didn't show till she was 18 weeks so everybody is different

DebraG421 · December 2015

I think I've got everybody beat: I'm 6'1" and I am not showing either. My mother wants to attribute that to my height, but I don't think it's that relevant because I am super long legged - it's not like the baby can disperse itself through it. I think it just differs from person to person. I am 16 or 17 weeks along and I haven't really popped yet.

Clauni27 · December 2015

I'm 6 ft tall and I started getting a bump around 14 weeks. I'm 18 weeks now and it's a bit bigger but because My torso is long I don't look pregnant in most of my clothes. If I wear tighter fitting clothes people definitely notice but otherwise I just look like I ate a big meal. It's different for everyone though.

ammnam14 · December 2015

Are you a FTM? Most FTMs don't show until well into second trimester.

HuggaTree · December 2015

I'm 5'9 and 120 pre pregnancy. With my first I didn't show until 6-7 months and when I went into labor at 8 months the security guard stopped me to sign in. He thought I was a visitor.

Anyway you might not show a lot, and it might be due to height...or the baby might be towards your back, kinda hiding. With my second now I'm showing at 14 weeks but just like I had a big lunch :-(

MellBabyPeeps · December 2015

I'm a FTM, 5'10" and 14 weeks today. I barely, barely have a bump. Still wearing all my normal clothes.

Btwilhelm · December 2015

Stm 5'10" and 167 lbs I'll be 16 weeks on Tuesday and I've had a pretty noticible bump since about 13 weeks.

MrsPittman13 · December 2015

FTM and 5'10. I didn't start showing until 20+ weeks.

redheadbride15 · December 2015

I'm only 5'6" and have zero bump at 16 weeks, still fit in all my regular clothes. I just had an U/S and baby is growing right on target, just not in an outward direction obviously! I am a FTM.

Knottie83732320 · December 2015

I'm 5'9 and 15w1d and no bump yet!

jonesl12 · December 2015

Any idea where I can find tall black maternity pants ??
I found a bunch online but they aren't talls
An inseam of 34 is perfect but hard to find

AnnikaSkywalker · December 2015

I'm 5'11" and my profile photo is from my 18 week bump with my last one. I was flat until 1/2-way through then I grew because I had a lot of fluid. This time around, I got pregnant right after having the first one so I still had some baby weight on me. My tummy looks 18 weeks and I'm 18 weeks. Haven't gained any weight though because I still have 20 lbs from the last one.

catcat2020 · December 2015

Last time I didn't have a bump till I was 20 weeks

Gap has long lengths that are 34" inseams in most of their maternity styles not all. All the pairs I have are from there, I'm 5'11" they are a little short on me but better than regulars!

elenabrent · January 2016

I'm 5'11" but my torso is short (like, the same size as my 4'11" grandma's), so I'm already showing at 14 weeks. There's nowhere else for the baby to go. I'm slightly concerned that when I get too big I'll be like a beach ball on stilts. My balance is not strong enough to handle that.

austinjl · January 2016

Anybody know where to get long leggings? Most normal leggings are short on me and really all I want to wear until July are dresses and leggings.

elenabrent · January 2016

@austinjl I bought a pair of the storq leggings, and they're amazing. They're really well made and so comfortable, plus they're long. Really really long.

austinjl · January 2016

Thanks @elenabrent - do you happen to have a discount code? $60 for one pair! But I will do it if necessary.

elenabrent · January 2016

@austinjl I don't. They're pricey, but compared to the $40 ones I got from gap that feel like they're falling apart after a few washes, I think these will last for the whole of this pregnancy and after.

austinjl · January 2016

Nice! Thanks

josmomma · January 2016

I'm 6' and I did not show with my first until 6-7 months. Pregnant with twins now and starting to kinda show at 4.5 months!
We are tall and have more real estate inside there! I did it get any stretch marks either!

whataboutscience · January 2016

5'10" STM I started to look chubbier around 22 weeks and wore maternity tops at 24 when it *maybe* started to look like a bump. Doctor said it was because I was tall and had tight abs too. I was a little jealous of other pregnant women because I wanted to show it off, plus people who knew were constantly nagging me about if the baby was really in there.

jonesl12 · January 2016

Just got a fantastic pair or crazy long black leggings ! I have s 36 inseam and these still bunch at the bottom !

ellou05 · January 2016

I'm 5'8 but with a VERY long torso. I just started showing a little bump within the past few day (I'm 16w in two days).

dezmel · February 2016

I'm 5'9 and 18 weeks with my second son. I didn't show until I was 8 months baby is healthy with heartbeat 150

sdavis2189 · February 2016

@jonesl12 I found black maternity pants in long sizes at the Motherhood maternity store, but I didn't seem them online. I got jeans at Gap, but didn't really see any other styles.

Babyebbs · February 2016

Not as tall as most of you ladies, i am 5'8" normally weigh 129. Just recently popped at 20 weeks and had to run out and buy maternity clothes. Dont worry, your bumps will come

TheRealHeatherG · February 2016

I'm 5'9" and popped pretty early - and now at almost 15wks, I'm quite obviously pregnant. But I also didn't have a very firm tummy pre-pregnancy, and I think that contributes to showing sooner.

hannahmp · February 2016

I love finding fellow tall ladies! I'm 6 feet. I'm a STM now, and started to get a bump pretty early. With my first though, when I was 28 weeks, if I was wearing something like a sweatshirt people that didn't know me couldn't even tell. It took a long time! This time, I was in the best shape I've ever been in when I got pregnant. Started 166 lbs at 6ft. All my muscles remembered from last time and just let that bump come right out by 14 weeks.

As far as tall pregnant clothes...I have found ONE pair of Old Navy skinny jeans that are long enough. I have even bought two of the same exact pair, and the other one is too short and I have to roll them up. Mostly I survive pregnancy with leggings and jeans tucked into boots with tunics/ dresses. When it starts to get too warm for boots, I roll them up or get some maternity capris. I have a 38 inch inseam, so I seriously just give up. I struggle to find non-maternity pants, maternity pants are even worse! You can also take a pair of your old jeans to a seamstress and have a pregnancy panel put in if you are desperate! But you have to be willing to give up your pants.

BabyBee15 · February 2016

I'm 5'11 and 14 weeks and have been asked if I'm sure I'm only 14 weeks / whether we're having twins - my friend is 16 weeks with hardly any bump yet. I just think we are all different and should enjoy the pros of whichever way our body has gone! Xx
