**~breeze~** · October 5th, 2007, 10:17 PM

Sharon, its the little bit of tummy that hangs over the top of your pants lol Some people may call it the spare tyre etc haha I too say muffin top, sounds alot nicer although I wish I didn't have to use the word at all!! LOL

just added a pic of me at 17n3....i have really started to show in the last week or 2 which is very exciting!!!

I'm 5"3 and 48kg and I started to show around 16-18weeks. Guess the tummy size doesn't matter much as long as your bub is healthy!

Enjoy your pregnancy!

I'm 11 weeks into my second pregnancy & it's very obvious that I'm pregnant. Just yesterday I was comparing bellies with a friend that is 20 weeks into her second pregnancy as well & they were pretty well the same size! I have a photo in my gallery if you want to take a look

**Sharon19270** · October 18th, 2007, 01:48 PM

rustygirl just had a look at your pic and you aren't that much smaller than a friend of mine who is 25 weeks.
Sarah_H I went to dinner with a friend on the weekend who is 25 weeks and couldn't believe how similar in size our tummies where, think mine was even a bit bigger than hers, this is her 1st bub though and my 3rd.

**rustygirl** · October 19th, 2007, 10:34 AM

it's really strange but my tummy has gone down since then.....WEIRD. The Dr. said that happens sometimes and that it was probably bloating that was making it look bigger....eeeeeewwwww!! So I'm not actually that big

!!! Oh well, all in good time I guess.

**Clueless** · October 23rd, 2007, 10:26 AM

Wow, I'm in the second trimester group now!
I am 14 weeks and just starting to show I think. I am 5'11 and had a bit of a pot before that I could suck in but now its very hard to do!! I can feel the bump when I lie down so its definitely on the way.
Silly me didn;t weigh myself at the start so I have no idea how much weight I've put on, but I'm just going to run with it.

**The[cookie]Doctor** · December 19th, 2007, 07:35 PM

Well, as i have lots of boob, and i seemed to put on weight everywhere, i haven't started to look pregnant until the last two weeks.
I especially popped out in the last few days, i look massive, i got stretch marks come up in a day. It was really weird... Thought i'd contribute seeing as its come up again.

**MagicSeahorse** · December 20th, 2007, 06:29 AM

I'm 17 weeks, And people started noticing at about 12 weeks, but it's only been obvious enough for people to straight out ask me, in the last 2-3 weeks.

I'm 5"8'. And fairly broad. Weight (do we really want to admit?) 83kg, reasonably trim.

**Neenee Jellybeanie** · December 23rd, 2007, 05:56 PM

There was a woman in my birthing class who had the same sort of build as you, she was further along than any of us and her bump was the smallest! The biggest bump belonged to a much shorter woman who was also rather slight.
I'm kind of the exact opposite of you - fairly short (5'5) and was overweight before I became pregnant. I started showing VERY early, though I think a lot of that was that I retained fluid like nothing else. In all fairness though, I don't know if I just looked pregnant to myself because I knew i was pregnant. I had someone ask me when I was due when I was maybe 10 weeks at the most, though by that stage I was rubbing my tummy and just generally acting pregnant lol. But then I had people tell me when I was 26 weeks that I didn't even look pregnant!

I'm waffling now. My point is, "showing" is very subjective hehe.

**Laranna** · December 24th, 2007, 09:36 AM

I'm 17 weeks now...For me, I noticed a bit of a pot belly myself at around 14 weeks. Other people have just started noticing and commenting that I have a bump now in the last week or two.
I'm 5'2" and weigh 57kg (haven't put on any weight yet).

**Serendypyty** · December 30th, 2007, 11:41 AM

I'm 13 weeks and I'm starting to show a bit already... I noticed it from about last week but I wasn't sure if it was just pudge or if it's actually the baby, because I wasn't really "built" to start with! haha...
My DH (who just has a way with words) says he thinks it's the baby because if it was me getting fat, my bum would be getting bigger as well!

soldierswifey · January 1st, 2008, 02:08 AM

I am 22 weeks 4 days pgnt with my first twins, i started showing at 6 weeks and when someone asks me now if i am due in the next couple weeks i just look at em like i wish try 17 weeks 3 days left, im so huge that it is no where near funny... i have to have a friend put on my socks and shoes , and even help me get in and out of bed, i think we're about to take the frame off so it'll be easier...
