First pregnancies probably do take a bit longer being that your stomach muscles are not already stretched from a former pregnancy. But you will indeed show in your season.
Congratulations btw!

Yes slender people show faster than others. They say that the 1st pregnancy does take longer to show. But since you are small you will show sooner. Dont be worried about it. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. And well worth it in the end. Good Luck!!

Personally, I don't think that the size of the mother has any thing to do with the size of the baby. My mother was 5'2" and about 110 lbs. and she still managed to have a 6 lb baby and then an 8 lb, 11 oz. And, she still stayed about the same weight. I am 5'5" and was 120 lbs. to start with my oldest and she weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. So, it may be more about your genes and family background. And, that may go for how you will show, you may longer to show, but, you never know. I showed at 4 months with my oldest (a girl), but, I didn't show until I was almost 7 months with my second child (a boy). Only time will tell!
Just, remember to take good care of yourself, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, get lots of rest, keep hydrated, take a multi-vitamin and get some good prenatal care.

Slender people do tend to show earlier because the only place for the baby to go is out. The size of your baby will most likely still be normal.
Yes the first pregnancy takes longer to show but the smaller you are the quicker it still happens.

As you know everyone's different. I was almost the same as yourself in height and build, except I weighed 100. I didn't start showing until my sixth month and it really wasn't that noticeable until toward the last two months. My daughter was small but healthy and now she's almost taller than me! ;)
My sister was shorter and stockier than myself, throughout all 5 of her pregnancies she showed early and grew big. Most of her kids were born pretty big, so you really can't tell how it will be. I worked out during my pregnancy, that may have played a part in how things turned out. Just relax and let nature takes it's course. Best luck.

First pregnancy I could wear my regular clothes until 3-1/2 almost 4 months. Last (3rd) pregnancy I think I could have put maternity clothes on the morning after!! LOL
Because you are kind of short, you may show sooner. I am 5'8"
That baby may not have as much room to stretch out in, therefore you could show sooner.
Either way, congratulations and good luck!

I was 110 lbs when I got pregnant, 4'12, and 21 yrs old. I started showing when I was 6 months and know I'm almost 7. If u eat right and take care of yourself then you shouldn't worry about your baby won't be small. I had the same question at the beginning. But everything seems to be going perfect according to my doctor.

I work at a gym teaching all kinds of classes including yoga/butt blast and everything else. I worked throughout my whole entire pregnancy and still gained like crazy. I didn't eat much more than I did before I became pregnant but my metabolism also needs help by me burning off the calories...I gained almost 50 pounds...sure it was only in my tummy but I was huge..My baby ended up weighing 7lbs 13 oz...hope this helps and good luck :)

I was about your size with my first pregnancy. I didn't blossom until 6 months. I did have a pooch around 4 months.
It may take longer for your first pregnancy because your abs have never be stretched before. Your subsequent pregnancies you will show faster because your muscles are not as strong.

It usually takes longer to show the first time. I didn't start to show until I was almost 7 months. But genetics also plays a role in this too, did your mom show early or later, where you a big baby or small, was the father a small baby?
