Pregnant tummy?

Question

When did you really start to show that you were pregnant? I looked at photos online of pregnancy bellies and I see these women who are 12 weeks pregnant with big bumps. And when did you first feel your baby move during your first pregnancy?

Answer 1

I was 18 weeks when I felt my oldest kick for the first time. It was around that same time when my tummy started swelling slightly. The first pregnancy usually takes longer for you to show. I know you are excited and want everyone to know... don't worry, your glow tells a lot! Congradulations!!!

Answer 2

When I got pregnant with my first baby I weighed only 99 pounds. By 8 weeks I could see the difference but no-one else could. By 15 weeks I was feeling the flutters in my belly. He was moving strongly by 20 weeks. I didn't have to start wearing maternity clothes until I was six months and even then some people couldn't tell I was pregnant. In fact at six months, I was still wearing my bikini. By eight months, everyone could tell and he was born two weeks early, so people who didn't know me well were a bit surprised. He weighed in at just under 7lbs and was 21 inches long.

It was different with the other two pregnancies, with each one I gained more weight. I gained 50lbs with my third child. But by the time she was 6 weeks old I was back in my regular clothes which were a size 5.

Wish I could remember what it was like to be a size 5.

Answer 3

I started to show a LITTLE bump at about 4 months. By 6 months though, there's no mistaking it lol. And I first felt the baby move at about 12 weeks. Although, that's really early. Around 20 weeks is when you should be able to feel him or her move.

Answer 4

I remember when I was pregnant with my first child, at my 20 week ultrasound the technician made a comment about how big the maternity clothes were on me. And they were, but I told her that none of my regular clothes fit anymore. So even at 20 weeks, I wasn't very big at all. I felt the baby move around 18 weeks with the first pregnancy. It was about 16 weeks with the second.

Answer 5

I didn't start to show until about 4 1/2 months. I think it was around the same time (17-19 weeks) that I first felt him move.

Answer 6

My wife did not show until 4 months into the pregnancy and then one day..she showed quite visibly... These is different for all pregnant women. The kicking started around the 6th month.

Answer 7

Every pregnancy and every woman is different hun! With my first (a girl) i didn't show until i was about 3 months, however i lost alot of weight with that pregnancy and as early as one month i couldn't wear anything tight on my tummy cause it hurt. With my second pregnancy (a boy) I showed almost immediately and gained alot of weight (almost the total opposite of my first, lol) . and with my third (another girl) I showed at 3m, and lost weight (not as much as with #1) i was really sick with this one. But even though i lost weight my tummy was HUGE due to a larger placenta. Goodluck and expect the unexpected, lol!

Answer 8

Well sence its your first pregnancy I didnt show until 6 months with my first cause I remember thinking this is crazy I want to wear maturnity clothes. Put once I did I was huge by the next month. I felt I think at 4 months.

Answer 9

I started to show around 14 weeks. I started feeling my baby move at 15 weeks.

Answer 10

It depends on your size already. My mom was a fairly big woman when she was pregnant with my little sister so she didn't start to show until 7 months. But then i've heard of people showing at 13 weeks so i wouldn't worry about it too much.

Answer 11

i felt her move at 5 months its exciting i had to lay on my belly to feel her tho im a bigger girl so i didnt show til i was like 7 months and then i j ust had a lil bump i lost 20pounds when i was pregnant and only gained 10 of it back towards the last
