Question

cause last night my bfriend said that i was starting to show a little bit but im only 8 weeks..and i cant see that i am..is it true that you can start to show at 8 weeks though?..x

Answer 1

It's different for everyone, but you may start to show earlier if you're thin. You will most likely go through the awkward stage where people really can't tell if you're just getting fat, or if you're pregnant! That part really sucks. I didn't look pregnant until I was about 5 months along, but I began to show when I was around 3 months I believe. Like I said, it depends on the person, and it definitely varies! Good luck with your pregnancy and congratulations!!

Answer 2

If this is not your first baby then you can start showing as little as 6 weeks. But if this is your first pregnancy you won't show until around 12-14 weeks or later, I didn't have a belly until I was 20 weeks pregnant, noone could tell! Now at 25 weeks I am definitely showing. However before you even have a belly your body will start filling up, like I remember at 12 weeks my weist line was gone! but no belly yet. Go on the internet and find pictured of a baby's development inside the womb so you know exactly how your baby is growing, and you will see that in a normal pregnancy with a mother on the right weight won't show until about 18-20 weeks.

Answer 3

You may have gottena little thicker around the waist, which is perfectly normal :) Your uterus isnt big enough to be showing yet. If this is your second pregnancy you may have a stretched uterus that knows what to do is making room for the baby. Your boyfriend may notice because he's aorund you all the time. Someone who see's you less wont be able to notice for another few weeks. On average with a first time pregnancy some people start showing between 12-16 weeks depending on weight and how their body adjusts.

Answer 4

I'm like 31wks now, and just 3-4 wks ago people started noticing. I'm thin and taller with a longer abdomen, so that's probably why. Don't listen to these people saying, "well if you're overweight, or skinny or short or tall....." blah blah blah blah. It's all different for every woman. This is my 1st pregnancy too so, I was worried when I wasn't showing sooner but he's moving like CRAZY and definatly thriving!!!! Enjoy your pregnancy and wait until it starts moving in there it's awesome!!! Take Care

Answer 5

I started pooching out at like 9 weeks... I was 120 pre-pregnancy though... if you are thinner people can tell faster. I am 16 weeks now, and a little bigger, but still not big enough for anyone other than close friends and family to notice.

Answer 6

Baby number 1 i was around 6 or 7 weeks when I started showing. I only weighed 82lbs before I got pregnant wtih her though (skinny teen momma).

Answer 7

can. You start showing at about 8-10 weeks and everyone will know at about 12-15 weeks congrats.
