I am plus size and and started showing a bloated belly at 4 1/2 weeks. I am 6 weeks now and the bloating is down a bit, but still look pregnant. I carry most of my weight in my hips, but still some in my gut. I guess it's just bloating. All I know is i can't button my jeans anymore..lol

I'm plus size and started to look pregnant around weeks 22-23...and since then there has been no looking back. There is no denying that there is a baby in there! Best of luck!

I'm a plus size but don't look like one. I always had a gut too. I was measuring my belly since the 4th week and now I'm 17 weeks and it grew 2-3 inches since then.

As you're fairly tall, you should expect your pregnancy to take longer to show anyways :) I'm sure it'll come soon, though!

I am plus size (22W) and I started showing at 13 weeks. I am 14 weeks 5 days now and look like I am 6 months or more pregnant. It really depends on your body. I think I might be carrying some fluid too. Have an OB appointment on Monday. Just be patient. It will pop out soon.
