Ok. I heard that it all depends on your build. Well, I am 5'4" and weigh 161lbs. I am 11 weeks and im not shure if im showing or not yet. My belly is alittle bit hard so I dont know if that means im getting bigger. But whenever I stretch it hurts. Because im not the skinniest person in the world, am I gunna show later on in pregnancy because of my build? Was anyone near 161 and was 5'4"? If so, when did you start to show? I bought maternity clothes and everything so I hope I show soon. I dont know why but pregnancy is so exciting and im not even in my 2nd trimester yet!

I am 5'7" and when I fell pregnant I weighed the same as you (11 and a half stones). On my wedding day I was 16 weeks pregnant and I had a little bump. By the time I hit 20 weeks it was a definite baby bump. It was only in my last trimester that I blew up like a balloon!

But like you say, everyone is different! Wink

I was about 150lbs & 5'5" when I got pregnant. It all just depends. Everybody is different. Most people don't really show until they're close to 20wks. I had a pointy little bump at 17wks, & by the time I was 20wks, you could *definitely* tell I was pregnant. I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until like.. October or .November (5th or 6th month for me). So it all just depends on you & your baby! I'm almost 36wks now & .I'm absolutely huge.

I was 5'5 and 115 lbs when I got preggo and didnt show until 6 months. Afterwards I lost even more weight and now I weight 110 lbs.
But I think it depends on a lot of things and I think genetics play a role too.

I was overweight when I got pregnant and didn't show until 35 weeks. I never got very big and once I was noticeably pregnant people couldn't believe I was due in a month.

Before I got pregnant I was 5'6 and between 120 and 125 lbs... Now i'm 5 monthys and i'm 135 lbs and showing quite a bit, my belly looks like a basketball, but I have a friend who is only 2 weeks behind me and you can't tell she's pregnant at all. I agree with everyone else, it depends completely on you.

you dont know how you will carry...Your build inside and the position of the baby determine that and every pregnancy you will carry differently...
