Questions & Answers

I am short petite, and thin. My abdomen has always been pretty muscular and flat and this too is my first baby. I starting showing at about 22 weeks. :)

Thanks everyone :) I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I'd quite like to save on the maternity wear for now, but part of me just wants a huge baby bump!

Each woman is different. Depends on your body type. I am tall and thin and with my first started showing around 5 months. SInce your short and thin, you will probably start showing earlier b/c the uterus doesn't have as much room to stretch up and down on shorter women so it stretches outward. I know I couldn't wait unitl I was showing. Good Luck :)

I am tall & thin and very fit. I did crunches uo til the day I had each of my four children and I showed so little that noone knew I was pregnant until I hit 8 months & then when I told them how far along I was they were like No WAY! I carry my children very close to the rear and having strong abs makes it hold in snug. Only ptifall is I didn't get the joy of people making a big deal over me being pregnant and alot of lower back aches as baby sat so close to rear. It did save on maternity wear. I had no need for it really. Just couldnt wear my skinny jeans but all else I manage to wear. I gained about 15 pounds with each baby and my last one was 8lbs 9 oz and 21 1/2 incehs long. As long as your healthy, baby is healthy & you are gaining appropriate my doc said stay fit, work out and I did my workout til the very end. Great thing also breast feed. I was back in my jeans within a week and weighed ten pounds less than I did when I started a week after birth! Blessings 2 u!

for alot of first pregnancies, its around 4-5 months before women really start to show.

Every woman is different. Usually it takes a little longer to show in your first pregnancy and most women show sooner in following pregnancies. I'm a larger lady and this is my first. For me, I didn't start showing until after 20 weeks and didn't start wearing maternity clothes until around 22-23 weeks. No real way to know until it happens:-)
