It depends on the individual and if you have had more than one child. I know that with my second child, I started showing at around 9 weeks. Also, if you are thin, you will be able to feel your stomach harden earlier than someone who has a stomach already, like myself, lol.

I tried to post a reply but it said it was locked. You really need to find a way to get a test. Your local Human Services dept can help with the financial aspect of it. Hopefully you can find a way there. Also, there should be a 800 number pregnancy hotline. Are you scared?

Also, right now you need to worry about you. Other people can be very judgemental.

Taking care of a child is a scary thing. I know it was for me. I had my first child when I was 21. Not only was I going to be a single mom, but my baby was going to be bi-racial. My family never cared about that but telling them I was going to be having a baby and doing it on my own, was scary to me. I'm 32 now and have two children and it's been a struggle, don't get me wrong. I raise them both on my own too. Some days are more difficult than others, but in the long run, I can't imagine my life without them.

yea if i have a bby it will be bi-racial too..but my mama can care less on that part..
i mean even if me and my boyfriend did break up i know he would still stay in his kids life...that and the fact his mom and dad and sister love me..so i know that they would want the baby around..soif he didnt want anything to do with him/her..he is screwed

I hear that. Be thankful that he will be. Both of my children's father won't and have never seen them. Thank God I have a wonderful man that takes on that role now. It's kinda funny though. We have been trying to have a baby now for 4 months and not successul. When I didn't want kids, I got pregnany soooooo easy. Now that I do, I can't get knocked up for nothin.

babygirl, you werent showing you were bloated, it can seem the same but its impossible to actually show that early, your uterus is still under your pubic bone

usualy the ealiest people show is about 15 weeks, and thin/fat has nothing to do with it its more how long your torso is, there are people who are super thin who didnt show until like 30 weeks or so then there are fat people who show at 20 weeks, the longer your torso is the more room your baby has to grow instead of growing out
