When would you feel baby move and start to show?

Answer 1

Here's a free pregnancy calendar. It tells you when you should feel movement, how much weight you should gain, etc. It's all determined by how far along you are. Best of luck to you.

Answer 2

I started to show at 16 weeks on the first and felt the baby at 18 weeks. This time I am already showing and I am 13 weeks and I hope to feel the baby move soon. It is different for every woman but the experience is wonderful. I cant wait to feel my baby move.

Answer 3

For first babies, you usually don't feel any movements until around the 15-16 week mark, sometimes a tad earlier, sometimes not until a bit later. As far as showing, that will depend on your pre-pregnancy size, how many babies you're carrying, and your genes. For my pregnancy, I was a US size 12-14 pre-pregnancy. At about 5 weeks, my regular pants were getting too tight, but I was carrying 2 little ones at that time...I lost one baby shortly after the 5 week mark. I was wearing maternity jeans by 10 weeks because my normal ones were just way too uncomfortable. I had people I knew stopping me asking me if I was pregnant or "Did I have anything I wanted to tell them" as they looked at my puffy tummy...this was by 12 weeks.
However, I know of some women not really showing or wearing maternity things until half way through...and these are women much smaller than me (UK size 6)

Basically, all pregnancies are different!

Answer 4

I felt my baby move at 18 weeks and started to show at around 20 weeks.

Answer 5

I felt the baby move at about 16 weeks.I didn't gain very much with either one of my sons I gained 18 lbs with the first son and 20 lbs with the second son, I ate what I wanted and both boys were healthy the first weighed 7lbs 12&1/2 oz. and the second weighed 8lbs3&1/2oz.Anyway I started to show at about 6&1/2 months.

Answer 6

Each woman is different but most can feel the baby move between 16-20 wks while some woman do not begin to show until around 6 months. Again each is different.

Answer 7

This is very dependent on you as an individual, especially the showing part of your question.

Bear in mind that the location of the placenta can delay when you will feel your baby move (quickening).
A front wall placenta (anterior on your ultrasound scan report) tends to cushion the uterus from baby's movements and so you might find that any movements are felt later than someone who has a back wall (posterior), or fundal (at the top of the uterus) placenta

Answer 8

Everyone is different but if it helps I started showing when I was 4 months and that is when I first felt the baby move. At first it felt like a flutter.

Answer 9

You will probably start to show about 14-16 weeks if it is your first pregnancy but it depends on your body type. If you've carried a baby to term before you will probably start showing 12-13 weeks (for you to notice anyway). As for feeling movement that can happen as early as 13 weeks but most women don't feel a thing before 18-19wks, but up to 22 weeks is normal. Good luck & congrats

Answer 10

if this is ur first the u should start to show around the end of ur 4th getting into ur 5th month. felling lil flutters can start around 13\14 weeks with ur 1st. at least with mine. I am preg with #3 and i started showing around the beginning of my 4th month and felt the baby move just slightly around 10weeks. I am now 17 weeks and feel huge already and feel the baby alot.

Answer 11

I'm 7 weeks along, and although I started out tiny, I can already see a belly starting to form. I haven't felt anything yet, though.

My DH tells me that you can't tell with my clothes on, but my clothes are starting to feel tighter already. I walked around all morning with my top button unbuttoned.

I think that you start to show and feel the baby earlier if you are a smaller person and later if you are a larger person.
