How early did everyone's bellies start to show??

I am overweight so it took longer for mine. I was in my sixth month before I started showing. Thinner women will show alot sooner though. I am now 35 weeks. Only 5 more!

I'm not sure if weight has to do with how soon you show or not. I'm overweight too and I'm already starting to get a round belly above my belly button. I'm just finishing week 15.

I actually started showing at around 14/15wks. At first I kept denying that it was my baby bump I kept saying I'm just bloated but then I embraced my bump. :) Everyone said so far that I actually look good for being 18wks. It depends on the person though. I have a friend whos a week behind me in the pregnancy and she was way skinnier than me to begin with but she isnt showing one bit. Like I said depends on the person. :)

I started to show by 3 months and now just hitting 6 months I am not huge but I can't see the feet! My stomach grows outward like a ball instead of growing sideways! lol Each body is different though! Thats the fun in looking at other pregnant women, we are all so different!

I didn't start showing till about 27/28 weeks...and from then on i BALLOONED! haha I've never been overweight and had a really flat tumm before i was pregnant (was a dancer though so doc said i probably didn't show till later because my stomach muscles are rather strong) I haven't put on much weight anywhere but my belly though - bubb just decided to do all his growing rather quickly! :P Every woman is different.

With my first I didn't start showing until I was about 5.5 months along. With this pregnancy though, I started showing around 12 weeks. I am also very small (5ft tall, 95lbs pre-pregnancy) and am ALL baby in the belly. I am up to 118 now at 29 weeks, but have only gained weight in my belly. Congrats on your twins!

I am a bit on the heavy side so I didnt show until I was about 20wks ....however when I had my 1st I weighed about 130 and didnt show until I was almost 7 months pregnant so I guess it just depends on your body .

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
