When does Pregnancy Show?
Posted: 11-13-06 08:07am

Is it too early to be showing in the 15th week to only my family and friends? Most people don't notice...I really thought i'd show later. I started out a size 6. (135 pre-pregnancy)

A visible pregnancy depends upon the fetus’s sizes and the mother's appearance before pregnancy. If the fetus is small or the mother has larger amounts of fat tissue on her abdomen, it will be harder to notice if the woman is pregnant or not. You may request an ultrasound examination at your obstetrician's office to check if the fetal size corresponds to the average pregnancy age, or not.
