I know this probably sounds silly, but I can't wait for my belly to pop out!!!!   I am only in the beginning of my 6th week, so I feel like I have so long to wait.  I am 5'6 and small to medium frame.  Weigh 133 on average before the pregnancy.  Any ideas on when I will start to show? Sorry I am such a dork, just so excited about the baby!

if this is your first, it might be a while...I was about your size when i got preg w/ DD & i started wearing maternity clothes at around 12-15 weeks, just cuz they were alot more comfortable. But I was able to "hide" my lil bump under a sweatshirt easily until about 5 mos...this time around i already feel "plump" but i'm about 50 lbs heavier than i was with DD...

A lot of people told me not to expect to show until around 20 weeks or so, but I can tell you, I'm 15 weeks and I've popped, and I'm roughly your same size. I guess it's different for everyone. And you're not a dork at all, I was the same way!! Good luck to you!

Hi and Congrats!!!

Well I'm 5'3" and I didn't start showing with my first til I was almost 6 months along and didn't look all that pregnant at 41 weeks when I gave birth to my oldest daughter.. Throughout my pregnancy I hardly exercised bc I had terrible all day  sickness not matter what time of day or night. I gained a total of 11 pounds after losing 22 pounds due to sickness through my pregnancy. I delivered at 41 weeks a healthy fullterm 7lb 11 oz baby 20"baby girl and everything else was placenta and fluid and the very next week I was back into my pre-pregnancy clothes and they were big on me.... I'm sure thats prob the exception for most.

On my 2nd pregnancy I started showing at 4 months and was very pregnant when I gave birth at 40 weeks on my 3rd 4th 5th and 6th pregnancy- yes I ahve 6 children I started showing around 3-4 months and delivered them all between 37 and 38 weeks respectively weighing between 6lbs11oz - 8lbs10oz.

Each pregnancy is different and not all are alike, like for me I only had morning sickness or in my case all day sickness with both my girls and with my boys I was barely having any symptoms at all except for eating more and peeing constantly-Lol

Best wishes!!!

With my son I was 5'0 100 lbs so I was tiny... I didn't pop til I was 5 monthsish. You start to look "fat" before then but its kinda like "is she pregnant or gaining weight" lol this is my second and i'm going through this now... i'm figuring i'll be blowing up soon... i'm 11 weeks.

Hmmm... I am 5'6", I weighed 136 prepregnancy.  I am 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby.  I started getting very bloated in the beginning and had to get into maternity cothes right away because everything else made me feel sick with the pressure on my stomach.  People that know that I'm preggo are starting to comment on my bump starting a week ago. Btw, I have gained 5 pounds so far. I haven't noticed ANY weird looks and definitely no comments yet!

I have a pretty small frame too. I started really showing to my DH, and myself towards the end of my first trimester... Strangers/family started noticing the belly after 20 weeks.

I'm 5'5 and was about 130lbs before I got pregnant with my son. I noticed a difference pretty early. but by 4months, there was no doubt I was pregnant...from the front that is, lol!

it could vary either way!

congrats and enjoy momma!!
