How soon will I begin to show?

Question

I am in my 6th week of pregnancy. I have an athletic build (play soccer) and am 5'2" and weigh 128lbs. This is my first baby and I am 27 years old.

What week or month do you think I will start to show?

So many great answers ans support! Thanks!

Answer 1

Its different for every woman

Answer 2

Everybody carries a baby differently and every pregnancy for the same woman can be different too, so really you could begin to show now, or you might not show till your 5-6 months - heck, some woman can hide their pregnancy for the entire 9 months!

Bone structure can play a part in this, and some people also believe the sex of the baby can factor in to how you carry which would affect when you begin to show as well

I didnt really show with mine till I was almost 7 months along but I have wide hips and that meant plenty of room before things had to start popping out.

I remember the excitement of waiting to show and have everyone else realise I was expecting, so I hope you have a fantastic pregnancy regardless of when you start to show :o)

Good Luck

Answer 3

Sounds like our bodies are similar. I am 5'0"and was about 115-120 when I got pregnant with my first baby. I didn't start showing until 5 1/2 to 6 months pregnant. It was weird because one day I looked down and saw this round belly, it came out of nowhere. My mother was the same way. Good genetics in my family I guess. With my 2nd and 3rd child, it was much sooner. I would say around 2-3 months.

Good luck

Answer 4

well first off there is no way to say how or when or even how big you will end up. But since you are athletic and you are a nice build from what you say...being your first pregnancy you should be able to wear your normal clothes into your 5/6 month and then have to wear something not so constricting. It is not because you will get FAT but your belly will be hard and tight clothing will actually HURT you to wear them.
With my first pregnancy I wore ONE maternity outfit and it fell off me, I wore my regular clothes {bigger sized but normal jeans} until I was 6 months...with my second pregnancy I had to get into more comfortable clothing by my 4th month, just recent pregnancy was only 5 wks and had to get larger pants already...that ended in a loss but I could hardly believe being as active as I am that I was already getting "pregnant" lol

Answer 5

I am 5'2" and a HEALTHY 100 lbs. I started showing before my 10th week. I continue to get bigger and bigger and am about 14 weeks along now and was told my the doc that I am measuring large (at 11 weeks was told I was measuring 15 weeks) so I go for an ultrasound on Tuesday.

Answer 6

Normally, with your 1st pregnancy, people will not be able to tell your pregnant until the 5th or 6th month. Every pregnancy after you'll show sooner, like 2-3months.

But that's not for everyone. My cousin is pregnant with her first child and she started showing in her 7th week.

Answer 7

I would guess at about 18 weeks...... i think that is the average for slim built people...think i began noticing then but it is different for everyone......you might have a teenie weenie bub or a huge chubba so u dont really know when u will start to look pregnant......good luck with the pregnancy and becomming a mum

Answer 8

With my 1st child. I started to show about 10 weeks, but every one and every pregnancy is different. Give it time, and when you feel your clothes starting to feel smaller then you know your on your way to showing the world your belly. Congratulations...

Answer 9

The average person shows at about 16 weeks. Congrats and good luck.

Answer 10

Answer 11
