    I am 5ft2 and 18 weeks pg and very obviously pregnant.
    I have a friend that started at the same height and weight (approx) and she is hardly showing.
    I think it is not just your height etc that plays a part but also how you were 'designed' to carry a baby.
    My Mum who is the same height as me but was smaller in weight when she first fell pg did excatly the same thing - i tend to carry loads of fluid and had 'deposits' where there never use to be, despite eating a healthy diets (hardly any extra intake of food) and plenty of exercise.
    As someone that has got to this size early i am envious of those that hardly show. It can be very depressing at times!

    I think I started showing at about 6-7 months. I too am tall (5'11''), so was told that that may be why I didn't show much..

    DD was born at 8 months, and when I went to the a&e (I didn't know what was happening, didn't expect labour for another month, lol), the nurse on duty asked "are you pregnant?" and was very surprised when I answered "yes".
