Q: how long until showing ?

I realize every woman is different, but I'm curious as to a rough average of how far along a typical woman is before she starts to get even a slight bump?

I'm 19wks 2days and still no baby bump.

I think it all depends on a person. everyone is different.

I started to bump out at 13 weeks, but only I could tell. Everyone else noticed a bump at 16 weeks.

it really depends on the person and the pregnancy. with my first i really didnt look pregnant until gone 25 weeks, whereas i had a bump since i was 13 weeks i think

well if you are a chubbier person normally, you probably won't start showing until later. but if you are skinny, people will begin to notice earlier. but i'd say around 4 or 5 months. im almost 2 months and i can tell my lower stomach is changing alreddy. its crazy! i think its a relle go0d idea to start taking pics of urself. i mean it doesnt have to be every day unless u want to, you can do it once a week. it will be fun lo0king back later and seeing ur bump grow! go0d luck to everyone! =]

I think it depends on how tall someone is rather than how skinny or chubby they are. Me and my sister are 9 inches apart (I'm taller) and she started showing MUCH earlier than I am. I blame it on my long torso Wink

thats not always true
i was about 28 weeks before you could even tell i was pregnant. and i was 100 pounds when i got pregnant

at almost 2 months your probably bloated Wink because at that stage your baby is about ______________ big. so your stomabh would not be showing at all unless youre bloated

showing
It depends on the persons weight and what pregnancy they are on...like I'm pregnant with my second child and usually if it's not your first you start to show earlier than you did your first time around because your uturus is already stretched out...
thats what I was told by a doctor and research..
