C3 . once you have had more than one kiddo you start to show earlier. I am on baby 3 and only 10 weeks LMP and I look much further than that, I am a very thin person to start out with. Jana

C5 . No one could tell I was pregnant until I was almost 6 months (I am also slender and this is my first. You'll notice a lot of changes in your body between now and then that won't be visible to others.

C6 . I am 16 weeks as well and barely showing. My husband and I can see that my tummy is growing just a little bit but to anyone else I dont look pregnant. I have wondered the same thing about whether something is wrong, etc. But I have read everyone grows at different rates and my doctor told me I should see big changes in the next month or so. I am also small and this is my first baby....maybe we should just enjoy the fact that we are not big yet!!! But I understand the worry becuase I think the same thoughts sometimes.

C8 . I was wearing my regular pants until I was about 5.5 or 6 months...No joking. I was barely showing- and then month 6 rolled around and I exploded! I was due 8/25/03 and with it being hot in Michigan, i was huge- but well worth it. I also know someone who just delivered 1/12/04 and she wore her baggy jeans the whole pregnancy. She is a little bit of a large woman to begin with, though. Enjoy painting your toenails and shaving your legs while you can before things like that get a little tricky. God Bless! And to all of you pregos out there, Congrats. I have been folowing for a while and I am so happy for all of you! It really is the best thing in the whole world (being a Mommy)And for all of those ttc's, You are all in my prayers.

C9 . HI- With my 1st baby, I didn't show till about 4 1/2 months. With my 2nd baby, I was in mat. clothes by 10-11 weeks. I am 6 wks preggo w/ my 3rd, and already can't button my low-rise belly jeans, it's AMAZING! I am 29 years old, 5'4" and 128 lbs.
(Just to give you an idea!) Although, I have miscarried 2 times at 8&9 weeks, so maybe my body thinks this is my 5th pregnancy??

Answer 3

I think it really depends how many kids you have.
With my first baby, I showed around 24 weeks.
With my second baby, I showed around 14 weeks.
I am currently 12 weeks and starting to show a tiny bit.

Answer 4

It depends on whether or not it is your first pregnancy. If you've had children before then you begin showing earlier. For me, this being my first pregnancy, I started noticing my belly expanding around 15 weeks or so, but no one else could really even notice until recently (at 19 weeks) and only when I wear certain clothes.

Answer 5

All women show at different times, but the uterus will stay tucked up nicely behind the pelvic bone until at least week15 or 16. After that, it's just depending on how small mama is.

Answer 6

I am about 8 1/2 almost nine weeks with my third and I am already showing. It all depends on the baby and your body. Good luck!

Answer 7

everyone and every pregnancy is differant.
i started showing with my first baby at 5 1/2 months.
second baby-4 months

Answer 8

It depends on a lot of factors - how many kids prior, what you weigh, etc. With my first son I didn't really show until about the seventh month. With my second I was in maternity clothes by the forth month.

Answer 9

EVERYONE'S different. I started showing at around 20 weeks.

Answer 10

everyone is different i started to show about 12 weeks, depends on how big your baby is and how much water you are carrying
