When Do You Start To Show?

Siinead_x0 · Jun 30th, 2009, 15:03 PM

Hi im nearly 8weeks & was wondering when do you start to get a bump?
This is my first pregnancy & I'm all excited

Me too! First pregnancy and 8 weeks on Thursday!
I've read that you can start to show between 12 and 18 weeks. That seems so far away at this point! BUT I do notice my lower abdomen does protrude just a tiny bit more than it used to, and it's firmer, so that's something!

Same here. It's minimal enough that I'm not totally certain, but I do THINK my belly has changed shape/firmness. It just doesn't have a proper bump yet.

varies but for a first pregnancy not usually til past 12 weeks. I didnt show til fairly late on with my first but am already obviously pregnant with this one.
When you show will also depend on your weight, if you are very slim you are likely to show sooner (though not the rule, I was a size 8/10 UK size and must have only started having a TINY bump past 20 weeks!)

I'm just over 13 weeks with my first pregnancy but not showing at all yet. I've noticed a layer of fat around my abdomen area but I believe that is due to the fact I have not been to the gym since mid-May and my healthy diet completly went out of the window due to MS. I'm normally quite flat stomached so having the layer of flat makes me feel a bit uncomfortable!

Yeah I mostly just feel fatter, lol. But I think that's more from bloating. My clothes do feel snugger, too, even though the scale hasn't changed.

That's probably the bloat hun. It does make your clothes feel a lot more snug around the waist.

I am not totally sure how far I am (maybe 6 and a half weeks) but I have definitely got a bump... it is a very obvious one and I am worried as I have been advised that you start to show usually at 16 weeks!

Anyone have any idea re: why this may be!?

Thanks xx
