When will I start showing???

[allisonmh]

I'm almost 15 weeks and so ready to have a bump. My stomach has gotten bigger, but it feels more like bloat than anything and it's in my stomach region rather than lower down by my pelvic region. I'm ready to look pregnant and not just fat!! Lol. I know everyone is different, but when did everyone else start showing??

I only started showing last week. And it's my first pregnancy. I'm sure you'll show within the next few weeks.

I sure hope so! I feel like people just look at me as the pudgy lady, lol.

There are ALOT of variables that go into that.

That being said, I'm 5'8" average build, with my first I didn't show at all til 25 weeks and really popped at 35 weeks.

This time I've got myself a low little bump as of right now. 23 weeks.

My uterus is retroverted and the babies like to sit in my back it seems.
Some women never really show and some start showing at 10 weeks it seems.

Hi there, I think it all depends on the person and their physical make up.. I was small and slim size 8-10 and it took aaaages for me to properly show! I think at around 24 weeks I was getting a bit more noticeable roundness but I was always fairly neat.. Until I went 2 weeks over, then I got the stretch marks and looked really pregnant..My baby turned out to be a big 9lbs though.. Everyone was surprised!! So I really think it's all just down to the person, height and muscle tone.. The tighter your tummy muscles are, the tighter they hold everything in I think so don't worry too much if you think you're too small, I obsessed over it and worried myself sick but everything was just fine thank god!

Good luck and enjoy the bump, I took pictures all the way through and it's lovely to look back at the amazing transformation your body does when you're growing a baby, us women are actually pretty awesome

Good luck with everything

I'm the same and this is my third! Was pretty shocked to see that I am showing LESS this pregnancy so far. I figure the bump will come, better just enjoy feeling so great while it lasts. That bump will come soon enough to slow me down.

with my son, I starting pooching at about 16weeks but wasn't noticeably pregnant to those outside of close family/friends, until I was about 22 weeks or so. Didn't really have to buy maternity clothes until then.

This time, I'm still not really showing, but started really pooching out at about 14 weeks. That was also about the time that I had to break down and buy maternity clothes. And if I try to wear pants that aren't maternity I'm so uncomfortable and sometimes it's painful for me to wear.

 

[allisonmh]

Yeah I'm having clothes issues. My pants bother me so bad, but I feel like I'm not big enough for maternity clothes yet. I guess I'm at that awkward in between phase. I've been unbuttoning my jeans and hoping nobody notices. Lol : /

 

[Selaphyna]

you might want to look into a few pants at least.

I was so happy to buy a few, even though I'm still inbetween. They are so comfortable.

 

[allisonmh]

Yeah I've definitely been thinking about it. I just haven't wanted to get any and they not fit me later on. Maybe I'll just buy a pair or 2 and wash them often so I can wear them all the time and hope nobody notices the same pants all the time. Ha.

I only bought three pairs. A pair of jeans, which i have had for two weeks now, and finally washed them yesterday (but I also only wore them when I went out on my days off, wore lounge pants when i was home). I also have two pairs of black pants, that I wear for work, just alternate them day to day. Plan to buy a few more, but wanted to get some bills out of the way, and wait for a check that might have a bonus on it.
