    Question Size 12, when did you start showing with first bub?

    Okay I know it is rude to ask for people's height and weight / size , but I was curious about when I could expect to start showing. I look bloated right now at 7 weeks.

    I would like to know when women a similar size to me started showing. I am a size 12, 62 kgs, 167 cm tall. This is my first bubba .

    I am a 12 & was with my 3rd pg.
    I think I weighed about 64 when I fell pg & am around the same height as you.
    I looked a bit bloated at around 8 weeks, but thats what it was. It was also my 3rd pg. I started showing at around 4 months.

    With my first 2 pgs I was only an 8 - 10 (57kg when I fell pg with DD1, about 60kg with DD2) I didn't show with either of them til past 6 months.

    I hope that made sence.

    I don't know what the rules are with starting to show - but I am only just starting to show now at almost 21 weeks (and it's still only enough for myself and DH to notice). I'm not the samle size as you - before I fell pregnant, I was very overweight, and I carry a lot of my extra weight around the tummy - so I'd say that has a lot to do with me only just starting to show.

    As far as I understand, when you start to show is dependent on your height, weight, length of torso... and I think chance has a lot to do with it! I knew a girl who was very slim, and she didn't start showing until she was 7-8 months! She didn't really look pregnant.

    Good luck with your pregnancy!

    Yeah, I think it was my height that held me off a bit with the girls. Being my 3rd & the little bit of a belly I gained between DD2 & DS would've been the reason I started showing a bit earlier.
    I remember I was about 24 weeks when I went to visit my Grandma with DD1 (when I was at my skinniest 54kg due to severe m/s) & she aked my Uncle after if I was pg & said she thought I was only about 4 months.
    We have very straight grandparents, so kept it quiet for a bit as I was only 17.

    Candice, I am not far off of the same height, weight etc as you.
    You can see my preg pics in the photo gallery:

    I think that people that didn't know me started to notice at about 5-6 months!
    I think I had a small belly, my daughter was 6.6 pounds born at 38 weeks and 2 days...
    I am so excited for you, anticipating your first baby bump is the best!
