I am only 4 weeks pregnant right now, so I’m not too worried, I just wanted to know. I’m 5’5" and about 190lbs. That’s bigger than the women on most of these pregancy sites where you can pictures of the stages. I was wondering if because of my weight, would I start showing later than most people— if at all? How long into my pregnancy before I get my baby bump, I’ve been reading that it may not be until my third trimester.
I was 5’7 190 lbs when i got pregnant….i didnt find out i was pregnant until i was 3 1/2 almost 4mths(thought i had the flu) and at 4 months i started growing…but it depends on how you carry the baby inside you….like my daughter when i was pregnant with her u couldnt tell i was pregnant if u were to look at me from behind….but once i turned to the side or facing you…then you could tell. she was all front some carry front and sides but it depends.
you may not show at all. i know my friend was overweight and you never were able to tell..my mother in law however was only a bit overweight and she got huge.
I wasn’t skinny to begin with and I started showing with a true "baby belly" at around 24 weeks. It’s going to depend on your weight somewhat but also how you are carrying your baby. Don’t get discouraged, it will come!
as long as your baby is growing along okay, then you are fine.
remember its about ur baby more, than you (just for rite now)
congrats
Depends. A lot of pregnancies are different from another. My friend was larger but she showed for sure around her 4 month time. She got really big. She also started retaining a lot of fluid though.
All I can say is relax and don’t think about it much. You will show soon enough. Time goes by so quickly. Enjoy the changes your body will be going through. It can be annoying but yet it will put your body at ease the fact that your little one is still growing and still okay.
Congratulations
It just depends on the woman and the baby. I’m 5’8, and a bit heavier than you, but I still started showing to my hubby at around 15 weeks and to others around 17-18 weeks (of course all those people knew I was pregnant already). A lot of my pre-baby weight was in my breasts, plus I have an "athletic" (broad-shoulders, etc.) build, so that might be why I showed so easily.
Around 5-6 months is the norm for bigger women.
I’d hazard a guess that you’ll start to show at about 7 months as my cousin did with the same size as you.
i would think your not that over weight you will show … i about the same as you and i looked pregnant for sure … this is my second and i am showing already at 10 weeks … only i see it because of being over weight i guess everyone just sees me as fat i guess!!!
I startd off being 5’5 and weighing 200 pounds. You wasn’t able to tell I was pregnant until I was 27 weeks. But everybody body is different it a come soon.
