wHEN DO FIRST TIME MOTHERS START SHOWING?

Question

i AM 5'4 AND AROUND 120LBS WHEN WILL i START SHOWING AND ALSO i HAVE NOT GOT SICK YET IS THAT GOOD OR BAD ? I THINK I AM AROUND A MONTH PRENANT

Answer 1

ideally, you dont want to ever get sick :) if you are going to have morning sickness (and not everyone does, i didnt), it should start around 6-8 weeks. showing really varies from person to person but since you are petite and thin, i dont think you'll see a bump until 3 or 4 months at least. if you mean really showing i think much later on, at least 24 wks or so? just a guess really...

Answer 2

It varies from person to person. My first child I didn't start showing until I was five to six months. However, I was sick as a dog from the get go. My second child I started showing right away and again I was sick as a dog. Now I'm 10 weeks. I'm barely showing and I've not been nearly as sick as the previous two times. It all depends on you. Every woman is different and every pregnancy is different.

Not every woman gets morning sickness with pregnancy. Some have it bad, as I did. Some have it mildly and some don't have it at all. Some have it for only the first trimester. Some have it longer and some even have the entire pregnancy.

Answer 3

depends upon your body. i didn't need to wear maternity till i was 6 months pregnant. i showed a little tummie about 3-4 months. but could still fit into my fat cloths.

you might not get sick. it usually does start when you are about 6 to 8 weeks. i had morning - noon - and night sickness. i would make 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners for the first 5 months i was pregnant.

i read somewhere that when a woman does have morning sickness, she is more likely to have a full term pregnancy. it worked for me and i had a high risk pregnancy.

watch your weight - only gain 2 to 4 pounds a month. stay away from too much sugar. no stimulants (caffeine). take your vitamins, drink lots of water and get plenty of rest. treat yourself real good and you will have a real healthy baby to hold sooner then you think.

Answer 4

depends on how many kids you've had. But your a first time mother and most tend not to start "showing" until five months along. But if it were your second or third you would probley start around three or four months along. also if you DONT want stretch marks terribly bad then you should start using palmers lotion, this will help lessin the stretch marks or could keep them away period! because you are thin your chances of stretch marks are more likely and with the palmers hopefully they wont show near as bad or at all! hope this helped out a bit
thanks!
oh and about the morning sickness I AM CURRENTLY 4 months along with MY FIRST, and i DIDNT get sick at all during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy but as soon as i turned 13 weeks i have been getting sick around one or two times daily so i was quite lucky to go threw the first trimester with out any puking !

Answer 5

I didn't get morning sickness until about 6 weeks.

I started showing with my first child around 4-5 months. With my 2nd I started around 10 weeks.

Congrats

Answer 6

Depends on your body structure.
Very small and skinny women show earlier because their belly must grow to accomodate the child. Larger women have some free space inside do they show later. You will probably start showing around month 3 but others may not notice until month 4.

Some women do not get sick. My wife is 4 months pregnant and has not gotten sick once. Consider yourself lucky.

You should be seeing a doctor regularly. Take prescription pre-natal vitamins. Take plenty of time to relax.

Answer 7

I am 5 feet and petite. When I was pregnant, I started showing at 6 months when I had clothes on, but most people didn't even notice until I was more like 8 months.

Answer 8

I Start Showing AT 4 Months Cuz I Was Skinny I Weight 120 Too..

Answer 9

Depends on your size before, I didn't start showing till I was 7 months now I'm 35 weeks and I look like I'm 5 months pregnant!

Answer 10

Between 4 or 5 months.
