Bree 23,

it's awesome that you are so excited, and it is different for different women but I did not really start so show until around 18-20 weeks. I am almost 28 weeks and I can still hide it if I want but my stomach is for sure hard now. I started feeling slight movements around 14 weeks but nothing big also until around 20 weeks. Now he moves a lot.

So, just be patient :-). Again some women start to show a lot earlier, it all depends on a lot of things. Your pre-preg size, like if you were really skinny maybe you will get a bump sooner. Pre-preg I was 145 and 5' 6" but my friend was about 4' 9" and probably less than 100 pounds and she is around 19 weeks now and she says that she has a bump now.

So, hang in there.

I hate that when people ask if i'm having twins. I'm almost 16 weeks and people are still asking. I'm not that big for 4 months. When the hell do they expect me to start showing? Lol

Yeah it's starting to annoy me now.....It's happend 4 times in the last week! I've only put on just under 2kgs - so it's not like i've packed on the pounds and it's all fat, the bubba obviously wants to be seen a little bit earlier than normal!

I popped this weekend, I swear I didn't have this belly last week, and now it's reallllly obvious that I'm pregnant. I'm 13 weeks and a couple days. I also thought I felt some flutters, but everyone says it's impossible this early, but I think that if every pregnancy is different, then it's possible.

Im Showing
Posted: 10-10-07 21:35pm

Well I am deffently showing now. Between the 11th and 12th week my tummy took a huge growth spurt. I started out quite toned and now everyone can tell Im pregnant. I am taking after my mom, she always looked like she was having twins. The good thing about showing early is that steady growth of the tummy instead of suddenly at 7 months popping out is you wont get as many stretch marks. oh im just about 13 weeks now.

My stomach also popped out last weekend. I'm 22 weeks and 3 days. Last week I could easily wear a t-shirt and get away with it and now I'm showing alot in a Large t-shirt. I am starting to show a little stretch marks but not enought to really see them unless your looking for them close up. so that's good. I can't wait till i get really big!!

I'm 13 weeks and I am showing a little bit. I think I am the only one that notices. If you already have a child, you will start showing earlier. If it's your first, it will take awhile to show. I am self consious and kind of embarresed about having to announce to the world I am pregnant by getting big. I feel like it's my personal business and no one elses. Guess the body doesn't care what I think. lol

I started showing at about 14 weeks but most people didn't notice. I'm 18 weeks and people are just starting to notice i'm pregnant when i wear tighter fitting shirts. I think it's different for everyone.

I'm 18 weeks and still not showing, I've only gained about 3 lbs since I've been pregnant. I thought that since I was pretty skinny before getting pregnant (about 95lbs or so) I would start showing earlier, but no suck luck. I hear that it'll happen almost over night so I wake up every morning run to the bathroom...of course pee first and lift up my shirt to see if my baby bump has popped yet. Maybe tomorrow???
