I am 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby and was wondering when i would start to show?

Question

To me my stomach looks a bit round, but not completely. My morning sickness has calmed down a little. Although i still feel nauseus in the morning, i cant eat? I am 19 and very nervous as I have had problems in the past with pregnancy. I was wondering If anyone has any good advice on what to expect. thanks x

Answer 1

Depends on your size, how you carry, and what you wear.

Answer 2

ok first congrats on the baby you made it too your first milestone the next is 16 weeks and then you should relax with fears the chance of miscarrage has diminished greatly.
now i had morning sickness all day and that started to go away shortly after 12 weeks.
about the (showing) ok let me educate you a little on this lol...... some ppl say they start to show before 12 weeks which makes me laugh cause for one that is not baby that is there own weight showing now they always ask "why would you say that i know it is the baby" but it isn't!!!!!
it is impossible cause the uterus (your fundus as they will call it when you see the doctor)has not even grown enough to reach the top of your pubic bone till you are 12 weeks along.
so with in the next month YOU (or anyone who will see you naked)will see the little bit of roundning to the lower half of your belly, now this also depends on your frame as well so dont be dissapointed if you don't, larger woman dont notice this till much much later.
now i was prego at 17 with my first and NO ONE could tell i was prego till i was 6-7 months along but i wore big clothes and i was maybe 120lbs.
i am now on baby #4 and with my 2 boys (first was a girl) i was still a size 5 till i was about 5-6 months you couldn't tell i was having a baby.
since then i gained some weight due to medical issues and with this pregnancy i just looked and felt fat this whole time and i am 8 months and i am now looking a bit prego!!
just remember everyone is different and it depends on you as too when you will show you didnt say your pre pregnancy body type before hand so i could answer to you specifically but you might start to show within the month good luck with this pregnancy i hope it goes well!!!

Answer 3

pregnancy is different for everyone, but first congrats!!! My friend who is 21 is pregnant currently, and she still feels sick every so often, the best thing to do is keep crackers handy. When I was pregnant with both my children I didnt get sick so I used her as a resource. most women are excited to be pregnant, so they hope they show at an early stage but really no one else can notice a bump until about 20 weeks or so, depending on how your body frame is, if you are small then it will be around there but if you are bigger then its not noticable until the 6th month. There is so much to expect when you are pregnant, and trust me not all good feelings, but just really soak it up, I was 19 when I was pregnant with my daughter and I felt like a whale hanging out with my girlfriends, but regardless when I was by myself or with my boyfriend, now my husband, I loved it. It is one of those things that words just cant even describe the feeling you get when something is growning inside of you. One thing I will say, is that remain happy, every feeling you have that baby feels, if you are upset or mad the baby knows it, he feels it. I am a young mom of two and I would not change it for the world. Its scarey being young being pregnant, because as much advice as someone can give you its really just something you have to figure out for yourself. not saying that you shouldnt get advice its just hard to fish through it after you have the baby. one thing I know boys shoot so if your having a boy make sure your a quick diaper changer and never get too close while changing. just love them cuddle them look at them, thats my advice really its a baby and it already knows you , you will meet this person who has a huge power over your heart and you just need to embrace it. you can email me if you want. We as young moms need to stick together, we have bad reps, stereotyping.

Answer 4

Well I didn't show until 5 months, and then not very much.
I remember going to this after school thingy and I was on high heels, and wearing this kind of loose top, and smiling my face off because my ex had just dumped me and it was the biggest shock in my life, you can't imagine the stuff, but anyway, everyone kept whispering that I'd had an *shiver* abortion.
But I suppose by 6 months people were starting to have a clue I was pregnant.
By 9 months they definatley knew lol!

Answer 5

First of all... Congratulations!!! I got pregnant at 17, 4 months before my 18th b-day. I got married 2 1/2 weeks before my b-day and I already had a little belly, I was 13 weeks. I've heard that some women don't show until they are around 5 or 6 months along. I guess it depends on your body.
Good luck=)

Answer 6

congratulation! your baby eventually will show up at around 3 to 4 months. about your morning sickness will be gone before you know it. in this stage be careful because this is the stage that miscarriage can happen. on your second trimester you can do some pregnant work out if are fit. everything will change physical even emotional and social aspect. good luck. ohh you have to eat even just a cracker and drink milk made especially for pregnant women it taste a little bad but for the sake of your baby why not eat a lot and drink a lot of fluid.

Answer 7

USUALLY around 4 months (16 plus weeks), but we all are different.

Please try and calm yourself down a bit and take it easy - stress plays a BIG role in how things go inside your body too! Find yourself a class for pregnant women that will teach you how to relax - - I used to eat low salt crackers BEFORE I went to bed at night, and would eat one immediately when I woke up, and that really helped my nausea. When you first wake up, just lie there in bed for a few minutes - don't just bolt up - go slow. And, do NOT eat big meals - especially soon before sleeping - eat several SMALL meals - stay away from tomato sauce based foods (pizza, spaghetti, etc.), food with alot of gravy, fried foods, bananas, and coffee - these seem to make nausea worse.

Relax, take deep breaths, close your eyes and think of pretty things - listen to soothing music - take a nice warm (not really hot) bath..... and see your Doctor on schedule!! Everything will be OK - good luck to you!!!

Answer 8

i'm 5'9 and that i had twin boys approximately 17 months in the past. I on no account confirmed until eventually approximately sixteen weeks and then i did no longer seem anymore pregnant then some one donning a single infant. human beings on no account believed there became 2 in there. all of us is distinctive so as long because of the fact the babies are becoming, do no longer hardship approximately your abdomen. solid luck!

Answer 9

You may not start to show so that others can notice till about 18-20 weeks.

Family noticed my little bulge at about 14wks but I didn't start getting the 'so when are you due' comments till after 20+ weeks. Everyone is different, My sister didn't show till after 25wks with her 3rd baby.

best of luck and congrats!

Answer 10

You will start to show more very soon. Some people don't look pregnant all throughout their pregnancy and some show very early everyone is different. Just make sure you wear comfortable clothing.

Answer 11

I was 19 when I had my first. I didn't really start showing until about 4 or 5 months along. I mean, you might could tell i was getting bigger before that but it wasn't until then that it was obvious that i was pregnant and not just chunky.
