Are you showing yet? When did you start showing?? :)

Question

Im def bigger and gained 6 or 7 lbs (13 weeks 5 days) But its not rounded like pregnant. I just look fat if no one knew i was pregnant. I cant wait for that rounded belly :) I think its because my belly button is still in i guess so i got that small double belly thing goin on if you know what i mean. Im assuming because the uterus hasnt hit my belly button yet. Which could explain that.

I'm 5'2 and weighed 105 when I got preggo the 1st time.  I started showing about 5 mths. I gained 47 lbs w/ that one. Then, w/ my 2nd, started showin about 4 mths. W/ my 3rd, I didn't tell anyone @ work til I was about 3 mths and they said they thought I was b/c of the weight I had gained. LOL Now, w/ this pregnancy, I didn't tell anyone @ work until I was 4 almost 5 mths and no one could even tell! I am 34 wks and people are constantly asking, "When are u due?" And when I say Dec. 4, they say, "Oh gosh. I don't think you're gonna make it to Dec!" I have gained 17 lbs. which is the least I have gained w/ any of my other pregnancies. I guess its ALL baby!!

LOL Griggsy!  I love that, when people say, "I knew you were pregnant! "  The really funny thing is, I can totally keep a straight face, and when people say that to me, i'm like..."What are you talking about?  I just gained a little weight"  lol and they are like, "Oh i'm so sorry, I didn't mean...." and then I blurt out, "Im kidding!!!  I am prego!"  they just laugh...

I think I enjoy doing that, LOL

Griggsy · Answer

LOL, the doctors have assured that I am having one. I wouldn't mind either way, but I started showing soooooo early. I enjoy being pregnant, I hate the morning sickness, but get rid of that and life is good.

I went and got my eye brows waxed two weeks ago and I have been going to the same place for 10 years now. Ruby saw me and put her hand on my belly nad said "SOOO, what's new?" I pretended I had no idea what she was talking about. I said nothing much, just working, and have been to busy to get down here. She seemed so dissapointed. When I got up I said "Yeah, my little one is due in April", she lost it and said I knew you were pregnant, so skinny, and then you come in here with a round belly. It was so funny.

I "popped" around week 16 or 17.. Maybe even a little later.. 18-19?

I am 27 weeks now and I am freaking huge. I am the opposite of most of you. I would have been happy to never show.. I have self image issues.. Uggh

I'm 14w4d's pregnant and i'm definately showing. It surprises me that i'm showing this early (3rd pregnancy) but i'm very thin and short (5' 2"). I did not start showing with my first one until i was about 6 months pregnant and with the second one it was about 4 months. So the more pregnancies you have the sooner you will show.

lol Kikicoates78 ~  you just made me laugh, and kind of hungry for a pear or an apple, since i have a tree for both, i'll go get both!  :)  LOL  It's funny cause my tummy looks like a sort of odd shaped watermelon.  And my kids come up to me and poke me, cause my belly button is a bit more noticeable now, LOL   they poke it and go to make a noise of a toot with their tongue.  LOL

kikicoates78 · Answer

I am almost 12 weeks, my 3rd child, and I am much bigger, I have lost weight, but I was heavy to begin with. BUT my pants are tighter, and my belly sticks out further, I am heavy, but moer bottem heavy, kinda like a pear! Now I feel more like an apple! LOL My youngest son, can't walk by my gut without poking it! If it is your first you will probly show much later! :)

Griggsy~  I haven't actually gained weight yet, because i've been really sick with another illness, and then on top of that got hit by a cold/flu.  But I am noticeably showing!  If your gaining with in the normal amounts of weight, I wouldn't worry about how big you get.  Every woman carries differently.  Since your 2 inches taller than me, you might have a longer stomach than most.  So it's really hard to tell, but when is your next u/s?  Have they told you your numbers for hcg?

Griggsy · Answer

I am 5' 8" and weight 130 when I got pregnant, I was showing at 5 weeks. Currently I am 14 weeks 2 days and am shoing even more. DH said to me this morning that I have the beach ball effect happening already. I grateful to be showing, but the question is how big will I get. I've only gained 10 lb. 

The other question I've asked over and over is 'Are you sure there is only one in there?'

I started having a really little belly at 17 weeks which people who knew me and knew i was pregnant could tell but i really didn't start showing much unti... i was 22-23 weeks.. when i had the ultrasound at 21 1/2 weeks to find out the gender my belly wasn't showing too much but over the next week or so it seems to really "pop"

ashiepooh · Answer

With my first, i didn't show till 29 weeks(when i found out i was prego), that when i couldn't button my size 0 jeans, gor a little more noticeable at 32 weeks had my daughter at 34w1d

with my second, I didn't show till 26 weeks, thats when i couldn't button my 0 jeans anymore, and popped out to be noticably pregnant at 30 weeks.  I never wore maternity jeans with them...

HOWEVER lol with this one, pffft!  I started showing at 11 weeks.  so sad.  and I actually am wearing maternity pants now.  LOL  

It all depends on your stomach muscles!  Mine were super tight with my first two, and I thought I  got them back to normal after my son, but apparently not LOL  

ALSO when you go on for more pregnancies, since your uterus has been stretched you tend to show more sooner.

sweetangel7 · Answer

I'm 14w3d and I think I am showing BUT nobody else does lol  I can only wear a handful of my pants!  I gained like 7 pounds but I have been eating pretty healthy.  I've gotten a couple of those comments: are you sure your pregnant...shouldn't you be showing...It is kind of annoying but everyone is different, and I know baby and I are healthy.  When we get bumps we'll all have to post pics!

debgunn23 · Answer

yeah i am! My grandfather the other day thought i was getting fat lol Hes a joker though and was playing around...kinda because i never ate a whole lot to begin with. So i was pretty skinny most of my life. Until the past few months. Ive been eating alot (mostly healthy) No food disorders, i just have a smaller stomach so i get full faster. So at that point i felt pretty fat. Thats why i want it to be round so people will ask when im due rather than wow looks like youve been eating way too much. :P

ovaz129 · Answer

I am in my 21st week, and I didn't start actually looking pregnant where people could tell until last week!!!  So, for me... week 20.  I am still by no means big, but at least the "is she gaining weight, or is she pregnant" question is answered in everyone's minds!!!

I felt completely the same as you up until a few weeks ago... your thinking "I just want to show already!"  lol

debgunn23 · Answer

well i guess on the bright side, if your not showing or that big you sleep better and can move around easier. because once your big things get a little harder (breathing,swelling,discomfort,cant see your feet or even put shoes on) :P

Gina209 · Answer

I really popped during my 19th and 20th week. Up until then no one could tell I was Pregnant! Than all of a sudden out of no where it looked like I swallowed a Vollyball!! All baby! And finally people started asking me when I was due! I didnt mind showing so late...I had a feeling I would. I'm really tiny, I work out and I was eating really healthy so I knew it'd be a while before everyone could tell. But when I did start showing, it was such a great feeling, made me feel THAT much more Pregnant!! And I think once you have your first baby, you start showing sooner with your second, third etc.
Congrats!

motherofan18month · Answer

i didnt start showing until my 5th month and only gained 15 lbs. from 5 months till my 38 week delivery......kinda got annoying when people would say "awe you're so tiny are u sure there's a baby in there?" then all of a sudden i was gaining 1-2 lbs a week and my belly started rounding out, i literally looked like i had put a basketball up my shirt....LOL!

honeybear56 · Answer

I didnt even start really showing till i would say a little after my 18th week, but im not SUPER big. Im just starting to round out. I honestly wish that my belly started growing sooner.

alaysha · Answer

I didn't start showing, showing until about the mid 20's. :( So sad. If I ever get pregnant again I better start showing sooner. I spent more then half my pregnancy with no one knowing I was pregnant.
