Big Belly showing pregnant
Posted: 03-07-08 14:44pm

Hi beautiful pregnant ladies!

I am in my 6th week of pregnancy, and wondering just when you all who are showing started showing? I have already gained a couple pounds (water weight I'm sure...) and am pretty self-conscious about it and, at this point, am just looking forward to my baby bump already...

What week did you all start showing? Thanks! Razz

Hi Charlie, and Congrats on your pregnancy!
I'm 19 weeks along in my pregnancy, and only started showing about a week ago. This is my first child so I too was REALLY anxious to get my baby bump. It was really weird cause it seems as if one night you go to bed looking normal or maybe a little heavier than normal and the next day you wake up and your baby bump is there. So far to this point it's been one of the more exciting moments, as you feel the urge to rub your belly and for the first time ever let it all hang out. So I guess it depends on everyones body type I was pretty small before i got pregnant, about 95lbs, and a size zero, so the Dr said I may show earlier than some, but not really. Hope you have a Happy and healthey pregnancy, and before you know it your baby bump will be here too!

Thank you very much and congratulations to you. I'm petite also and was unsure if that would cause me to show later or earlier. Looks like later... Its fine with me, as long as my little one is healthy.

Thanks for the response!

you physically can not start showing (due to the baby) until after 12 weeks, because until then yoru uterus is still tucked under your pubic bone, before that any "showing" would be bloating.....that being said most people start shoing around 20 weeks (some could show before some after, i personally didnt show with my daughter until about 30 ish weeks) it also depends on how you are built and how big your baby is, if you are short you will show sooner because the baby doesnt have as much room so it has to grow "out" and if your taller the baby can grow "up" so you show later.....does that make sence?

good luck and i hope you have a wonderful 9 months
