I’m 28 yrs old and pregnant with my first, I’m petite (5’1" 117lbs pre-pregnancy) and was wondering how soon some of you first time moms started showing with your first? I’ve gained 3 so far in the first 7 weeks and can’t really tell, but I do see the very slightest protrusion. I think it’s early and I’m scared about getting too big and being so short.
Thanks in advance.
The first time a stranger commented on my pregnant belly, I was 5 1/2 months along. I was 5’6" and 120 pounds at that time.
I’m currently almost 8 weeks and I have a protrusion too right now. I think when a woman is "showing" this early, it mostly has to do with bloating and bowel retention. Don’t worry too much about weight gain. Three pounds isn’t bad.
I didn’t start showing until my 6th month.
I started showing between 5-6 months with my first. I’m short too (5’0, 120). Then a lot sooner with the next two.
Congrats!
about 16 weeks with my 1st and a bit earlier with my second.
im 18 and im 34 weeks pregnant..and i started showing at 7 months..and im not big at all…it really suprized me that i didnt get that big..ive only gained 15 pounds and i only have 6 weeks left..
you could get big just depends…
but um i did get stretch marks even though i used coco butter the whole time.. i still got them..if your prone to them which i am..i got them even though im not that big..its annoying but worth it..
congrats on the pregnancy
im 21years old
5ft2 and was slim
im 28 and a half weeks and its getting noticeable now (just)
i was about 6/7 months i think
i hid it so much, an even when i was obvs showin, like 8 months, id still deny it lol
i think i didnt show so til late cus my body has changed loads, i was (uk) size 12, went up to size 18, dropped to size 10, an went back up to size 12 (size ten just dont suit me lol) but cus my bodys changed so much i reckon thats why i showed quite late
i know its why i wouldnt admit it lol

People really couldn’t tell if I was preggers or just had a little belly until about 4 or 5 months
your quite small & petite so i would say you will start showing around the 5th or even the 6th month
i was showing with my first around 22 wks then this pregnancy it;s been since wk 16 :O
my friend who is around the same height & weight as you is currently 27 weeks and her bump is still very small
but everyone is different & so is every baby:)
good luck
i was also very petite.. less than 100pounds and 5’2… my clothes were usually quite fitted so when i was 7 weeks i noticed trouble starting to do them up… but i would say though that i have an average size belly and im 28 weeks… i found it was obvious i was pregnant to my friends and fam at around the 14 weeks stage.. but even though it was obvious to me, strangers couldn’t tell… it wasn’t until around the 24 weeks mark that i would start getting comments.. now im 28 weeks and there is no second guessing my baby belly.. which i think is about average…
the worst thing a preg woman can do is worry too much about how her belly looks… some ppl are all fluid and some aren’t.. and ppl will give you their opinion no matter whether its wanted or not.. i get my MIL tellin me i look too small, and then a man yesterday asked me whether i was sure i wasn’t having twins!! so just eat healthily and you will be fine!
about 5 months
I was around 20 weeks when I first got a bump. I remember going to my ultrasound at 16 weeks and I was still wearing my regular pants. With my second I started showing around 14 weeks.
i started to show about 5-6 months.
I am 17 weeks and people now are just noticing my small baby bumb. (i’m 5"7 and was 110 pounds before pregnancy)
im 19 yrs old im about 115lbs. 5’3 . before pregnancy.. I had a small belly by 7 weeks. im now 29 weeks and im 143lbs. and a fairly large belly. very healthy!! best of luck to you.
1) Short women are cute (as long as they’re not obese, then it’s just unflattering). So a maternal, pregnant short women is definitely cute. You should take your belly with pride, show that ‘glow’ pregnant women are supposed to give off.
2) It depends on what you wear to show your growing stomach or not. If it’s just barely a bump and you’re a bit self conscious with it, try wearing those babydoll shirts; they’re flattering. You can get them especially at Hollister, but if you find them to be too small, many maternity stores and sections of stores carry them in sizes intended for pregnant bellies. Once your bump gets bigger and you obviously look pregnant, tighter shirts are allowed, and once you’re really, really pregnant, switch back to babydolls.
3) The minuscule bump comes somewhere between 3 and 4 months. It takes about 5 months to look obviously pregnant.
4) Congratulations to you and your baby, and if there’s one thing you should remember, it’s that there’s nothing wrong with taking your pregnancy with heart– don’t try to hide anything!
I’m 5’4 and weighed 126lbs pre pregnancy. I started showing around 15/16 weeks although only really i could tell as it just looked like a little pot, when i was around 22 weeks i was pretty big and i kept growing until i reached 30 weeks, now i’ve not really grown much in the past 5 and a half weeks as my bump has lowered/dropped.
You will get as big as your body needs to get, it depends on your babys positioning, the way your body deals with the weight gain and how fast your baby is developing in there.
However, if you eat healthy, drink tons of water and keep doing some light exercises such as walking, swimming or yoga then you’ll keep all unnecessary weight gain off and you’ll be all baby bump, therefore when your baby is born, you’ll just have a little pot belly which is easy enough to get rid of.
I would say around 20 weeks for me which is now but its still little ive only gained ten pounds so far.
I started showing with my both my pregnancies about 4 and 5 months.
Hmm, I think about 4-5 months! It’ll prob be awhile for you before you start to show being that small, but that’s good..and try not to gain more than 25-35 lbs, and it’ll prob be easy for you to lose it too. If you have myspace, add me.. http://www.myspace.com/dezsnewprofile and you can see my whole preg. folder!!
25 weeks
Of course it all depends on each individual woman, her size/frame, and how she is carrying the baby.
I am now 18 weeks with my first baby, and I’m on the heavier side, and I started showing MUCH earlier than I thought, around 15-16 weeks. I’m just now getting to the point where it’s obvious that I’m pregnant and not just really bloated!
I’m also short (5’2”) and you’ll be surprised what your body can handle. I bet you’ll look adorable. All pregnant women do!!
I’m going on 17 weeks and my belly has just grown half an inch.
i am 22 years old and am 39 weeks pregnant….i started out at 125 pounds at 5"0…….i didnt start showing until my 6th month, but now i am 162 pounds….its weird though because I am big for my body but compared to other woman at 9 months I still look about 5-6 months….i know my mom carried me the same exact way…..i think it just depends on your body and what nature whats to do….good luck
I am 5 foot 6 and 108 pounds. I am 9 weeks pregnant with my first. I am 16 yrs old. When will I start to show or get a baby bump. And when will i feel the baby move?
