when do you show and or feel the baby?

Question

I am only 6 weeks... I am 5'4 125lb.... I was just wondering if you show earlier if you are skinny? and about when do you start to show? and also about when do you feel the baby? and any other advice would be great! thank you!

i was pregnant but lost it at 13weeks... would that make a difference??

Answer 1

thinner women tend to show a little sooner (being that there is less fat for the bulging uterus to hide behind) I am 5'2 and was 120 lbs, I started showing at about 12 weeks... as far as feeling the baby i'm not so sure... I think i've been feeling it since about 18 weeks (i am 21 weeks now) But i am not 100% being that its my first and i have no idea what it's supposed to feel like.
As for other advice, keep up with ALL of your appointments, take your vitamins, drink ALOT of water, and don't hesitate to call your doctor if you have any concerns, they would rather see you and make sure nothings wrong than not see you when something IS wrong.

Congradulations Mommy!!

Answer 2

for me i am 5'9 164lbs and 16 weeks 1 day.. i think i started to really show about 12-13 weeks. i think last night was the first time i felt the baby.. this is my first so i'm not quite sure i did. it felt like i was hunger pains..

i am sorry to hear you lost the baby at 13 weeks. i don't think it would make a difference in you size/weight tho..

i dont have any great advise. like i said this is my first and i am clueless right now.. all you can do is just go by what your dr tells you for the most part..

Answer 3

Everyone shows at different times. And every pregnancy is different. But for me I started showing around 12 weeks and felt the baby move at 16 weeks.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Hey you are a petite young women. I was 5'9" and 115 lbs when i got pregnant and i started to show about January really good (41/2-5 months) however you are shorter so it may be a bit earlier. Dont get in too much of a hurry though youll want it out as soon as its big enough to get on your nerves inside there lol. And they start moving about 4-5 months really well.

Answer 5

In general most women start showing around 4 months.(about 16 weeks) and start feeling movements around 17-20 weeks. All of these are give or take a few weeks. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Everyone shows at different times. In all of my pregnancies, I felt the baby move around the 16th week (give or take a week) but again everyone is different. You can never depend on anyone elses experiences because you will have your own and they will be different. Relax and enjoy this time to prepare for your baby, he/she will be here soon. Congrats and good luck.

Answer 7

depends on the woman. most do not show until early in the second trimester, as the baby in the first trimester is very far down below your pubic bone, not in your "belly". you may notice changes in your body at others will not notice. you may feel bloated now for example. most women feel the baby between 14-22 weeks. you may not notice the early kicks the first time because they are so light they feel like gas bubbles. second time mothers seem to notice these movements earlier then their previous pregnancy.thin mothers may notice these movements earlier then heavy mothers as well.
you should buy "What to Expect When You Are Expecting." it tells you week by week what is going on with the baby and as the title states, "what to expect." very good book every pregnant mom should own it! here is a page where you can buy it online (very cheap i paid 25 dollars for mine at barnes and nobel, but it was worth it!)

Answer 8

I am 17weeks along 5' 7'' and weigh 121 and my belly is just now showing and by about four months I felt the baby for the first time. But it is different for everyone. The first time I felt the baby it felt like butterfly's in my lower stomach.

Answer 9

it depends on how many children you have had before too....I am pregnant with number 4 and am already showing at 6 1/2 weeks. Nothing huge, but my jeans hurt to button!
