When did you start showing in your first pregnancy?

Question

My husband and I are hoping to wait as long as we can to share our baby news. When did you start showing in your first pregnancy? I am VERY petite. 5’3 and 100 pounds. I’m thinking I may start to show sooner... what are your thoughts?

Answer

I’m 5’7” and 118lbs, I started actually showing at 17-18 weeks. Now I’m 21+3

Answer

i was 5’8 and 130 and didn’t really show until like.. 25 weeks, i’m 33 weeks now and can still hide it if i want to 🤷🏼‍♀️

this was me before

20 weeks

23 weeks

25 weeks

33 weeks

and then me laying down looking like all i did was eat a good dinner 😂
so i was tall and lean before  but since you’re shorter it might pop outwards earlier, mine had plenty of room to grow upwards lol

Answer

I’m 5’5” around 125 and didn’t “pop” until week 18-19, but I could still hide behind a baggy tee, button down for many more weeks, in fact, most people who didn’t know me could not tell I was actually pregnant until I was near the end of my 2nd trimester (we didn’t ‘announce’ to my broader friends until week 22). Before I got pregnant, I had a very flat stomach, despite having big boobs (thin arms and chicken legs) so I think having boobs helped hide my growing belly. I’m now 35w and it looks like I’ve swallowed a basketball.

Answer

My starting weight was 106lbs & I’m 5’1’. I didn’t notice anything but “bloating” until about 14 weeks, but friends & family & even my boyfriend didn’t really start to point it out until about 17-18 weeks. I added some pictures for reference.

Answer

With my first I was about 96 lbs and 5’4” and showed at about 14 weeks. With my second I was 100 lbs and started showing about 10 weeks, and this go around I started at 120 lbs (much healthier weight for me) and started showing at 8 weeks but it is also twins this time, surprise haha!

Answer

I started at 125 lbs. being 5’1” and didn’t show to people who actually knew I was pregnant until I was probably around 25+ weeks. I work in a restaurant and my regulars didn’t start to notice/start asking me til 30+ weeks. I thought being so small I’d show early, but it took longer than I thought. I’m now 36.5 weeks and I weigh 140 and it’s all belly!

Answer

16 weeks i 'popped' im 5'4 and was 130 pounds beforehand.

Answer

At the beginning i was 5’3 122lbs and I started showing at 13weeks . I’m 18 and huge now lol

Answer

I was 105 pounds my first pregnancy, I’m 5’1” 
I seemed to have a lot of bloat which I thought was a bump 
But I didn’t have a legit baby bump stick until about 5 months
