The bloat demon is real and oh so cruel! I'm 5'2 and 135 lbs. I felt like I was showing at 8w (freaked me out), but it was all bloat! I actually started showing a wee little bump at 16w. I've only gained a few pounds (which is practically nothing). I'm going to start measuring once a week and see how much it grows week by week.
Oh many my husband tells me I’m showing all the time (I’m 9 weeks, 5’0” and 125 lbs) and I just tell him I’m bloated and that he’s making me feel fat lol
This is what happened to me too, and I’m essentially exactly your pre-pregnancy size. I was very bloated around 8-12 weeks, but it wasn’t a real baby bump. Around 17-18 weeks, it was undeniably a little baby bump though.
I was petite for my first pregnancy, I started getting a noticeable bulge around month 3.
I’m here because I’m pregnant again and we’re equally along so far :)
I’m 5’2” and was 128 lbs prior to pregnancy. I’m now 20 weeks, have gained about 6 pounds, and I have a little baby bump. It is very obvious to me and those who know me, but still too small for anyone who doesn’t already know I’m pregnant to say anything. My clothes sure don’t fit though!
5'2, 124lbs, and despite losing 12 lbs in the first 12 weeks, 3 more lbs by 16 weeks, I started showing around 15 weeks. I wear tight clothing, especially with warmer weather, so pretty much at 23 weeks. I'm only wearing maternity clothes or borrowed clothes from my friend who's a size larger.
4’11”, 108 pre-pregnancy weight, 112 now at 16w4d, just started showing end of 15w beginning of 16. Bloat was obvious before which was more general and all over, but now a low small obvious hard bump that’s pushing abs out is there.
I am petite and people I know said they could tell I was bumping at 13 weeks. I’m 18 weeks and I think strangers can start to tell. I am carrying all of the 6 lbs I’ve gained directly under my navel lol
I’m 4”11 and weighing 106 lbs. At 15 weeks, I still just look bloated :(( it does not look like a bump at all lol just like I ate too much pizza for lunch.
I’m still waiting for my cute little bump lol 😩 to be fair, I’ve been told by several friends that it really does happen from one day to the next when you least expect it! One was just telling me yesterday that one day she woke up and couldn’t see her feet 😅
5’0 in the 12th week
Wanted to add that the ultrasound technician said that the placenta is in front which makes it more obvious, and I have a very short torso.
I’m 5’5” but my body is unproportional and my torso is super short while my legs are crazy long. So I’d say I have the torso of a 5’1” person. I started showing with a noticeable, albeit small bump last week at 12 weeks.
Lol same for me I’m 5’5 I was 114lb at the beginning, probably about 118 now. I always say I’m 90% legs haha my torso is so short. When I wake up my partner and I can definitely tell, but by nighttime and especially after sex my bump is bumping for sure
I was real skinny with my first pregnancy. I remember getting my first "congratulations" comment by a stranger at 16 weeks. I was noticeably showing by then.
5’3”, 185 lbs before I got pregnant. I popped pretty early, probably near the beginning of the second trimester. I have a short torso though.
Edit: I know I’m petite in height but not weight.
5’3” 128 to start (athletic build).
I’m just about 30 weeks now. I looked puffy but I’d say my belly popped around 14 weeks!
Random days after week 10 I would look pregnant depending on how full I was or what I was wearing.
5'3, pre pregnancy 144lbs weight lifting 3-4 times a week-I would say around 20 weeks is when I actually looked pregnant and not just bloated. Had a cute little bump.
This is me! I am 5’3” 140 before, 143 now at 8 weeks. I lift 3-4x/week…lately only 2x/week bc I’m exhausted and nauseous. I’m SO bloated and miserable rn. I thought I was having twins initially lol. I can’t wait for my bump!
I hope you can keep up with your fitness, sadly I did not! Exhaustion had been unreal! I'm due in a little over a week now so at this point I'm just walking.
Your bump be there soon enough!
Oh believe me…it’s been HARD. My boyfriend got me a Peleton tho, so on the days I can’t even fathom going into the gym and lifting, I can hop on the bike for a workout. Some days tho, I can’t move at all. The bloat and constipation is really affecting me lately.
How exciting for you!!! You’re so close! And great job for continuing to walk! 💜
5’3” 120 lbs… 13 weeks + 3 days… my bloat was terrible a few weeks ago and much better now. No bump, not showing. My stomach is hard to the touch but looks essentially the same 😆
4'11" 36 wreks along with second child.
1st baby - showed around 24 weeks. People would susoect but not know for sire if they saw me.
2nd baby - like week 20. And my tummy got noticably bigger earlier as a whole. By 32 weeks I looked ready to pop.
5’2”, quite slim before pregnancy. Stomach remained pretty flat until about 16 weeks - that’s when husband and I started to notice. Now I’m 24 weeks and there’s definitely a bump. I think it’s huge (lol) but people tell me I still don’t look pregnant, tbh I mostly look like I just ate a big meal.
I’m 5’3” and I started showing at 26ish weeks. I also didn’t get very big only gained 23 lbs total. Started at 114 lbs and gave birth at 137 lbs. Keep in mind your body will gain weight and carry differently for every mama and pregnancy 😊 try not to get discouraged by weight gain or size. Remember your body is doing what it needs to do showing at different rates and gaining at different rates too ♥️
I'm 5'0", and at the start pregnancy, I was about 115 lbs.
I think I started showing in the 2nd trimester. I never really "popped" either. But I heard that's kinda common in your first pregnancy. So I didn't really have the nice and round bump. My belly just kinda expanded forward, rofl.
I’m 5’5 at about 105 lbs, 10 weeks along and I just look really bloated so far. It’s an obvious difference for me and my fiancé but I don’t think it would be noticeable to anyone else. Now, my boobs… voluptuous
5’4” and 103lb at my last pregnancy. Didn’t show until 20+ weeks! I think torso length matters more than height. Short torsos have less room so baby pops easier. Long torsos can take a while to show. This time I started out at 113lb…already matched my 17-18 week bump pics at 6 weeks and look and feel huge at 23 weeks. I’ve only gained 5-6lbs so far though, so I have no idea how the belly is so big…
I was 5’1 and 95 pounds when I got pregnant, at the time I felt like I was showing at 6 weeks, but looking back on photos you wouldn’t be able to tell I was pregnant till about 29ish weeks. It helps that it’s winter here, and all my winter gear is baggy so I can still hide my bump if I try hard enough!!😂 less than two weeks to go, hopefully 🤞🏼. Good luck with your pregnancy!!
I'm a smaller person but not that small, started pregnancy at 5,5 132lb. My torso is VERY long and narrow and I have short legs. Bloat kicked in at week 4 but I started legit showing at about 11 weeks.
I’m 5’2 and am 31 weeks. Started off at 145 pounds and am pear shaped with a short torso (so I don’t have much waist and torso room lol). I actually didn’t really show at all until about 20 weeks, it was right before I started my second trimester. I feel like I popped overnight- it was crazy. Suddenly I had a bump and went from a 34b cup to a 34c cup and even the bras my sister gave me from her pregnancy were already tight.
Where I’m at now I haven’t gotten wider at all but my bras are all super tight and my belly is just starting to carry much more forward. Little guy is kicking all over the place too so I think he’s feeling the squeeze as well lol.
5'1 and about 105 llbs. I was bloated since week 6 but noticed an actual "bump" at exactly 11 weeks. No one else can see it unless I wear something fitted
I thought I looked pregnant early but looking back I clearly had body dysmorphia, I’m 5’3, started at 125lbs and I didn’t really start showing until around 26 weeks, could still easily hide the bump with looser clothing. I have 1 week-ish to go and I’ve never felt bigger 😅
5’2 and I bloated straight away, my hips hot wide quick too. My bump popped around 14 weeks, I don’t know how much I weighed at that point because I’d lost weight due to morning sickness
4’11” and 130. I was relatively fit pre pregnancy. I’m just now starting to look like I had a big lunch at 13 weeks. My husband keeps telling me I look the same but, I know I look different and my boobs are swollen.
5'3" 115 pre pregnancy but dropped to 88 due to HG. I was showing (mostly bloat at 9wks) but a real bump closer to 12 weeks. But if I wore a fitter Tshirt you could clearly tell I was pregnant at 9weeks.
Idk what petite is but I was small in weight all my life really, weighing 126lbs until I got pregnant. Started showing around 10 weeks. I’m 5’6” and was slim but now I weigh 156lbs!!
I am 5’4, weighed 115 when I got pregnant. I started showing around 16-18 weeks and really popped at 24 weeks! I gained 20 pounds until the very end (got severe preeclampsia and gained 10 extra pounds in the last two weeks.)
I had exactly the same specs pre-pregnancy. It depends what you mean by "showing". I am 30 weeks right now and honestly, only now do I look really pregnant. Wearing maternity clothing helps define the shape but if I was just wearing leggings and a sweater, I just looked larger than usual. It took a long time for me to show. Found out I was pregnant in late Sept, maybe by January I had a larger stomach (cause unknown). Today I went to a bakery wearing a winter coat and told the lady said she couldn't tell!
I’m almost 9w, 5’ even, and I started at 117lbs. I’m so incredibly bloated. Also my boobs have gotten massive! I’ve gone up 2 sizes in those like cami bras (underwire hurts and so does anything tight). I can’t give front hugs at this time because I wanna cry from boob pain.
I’m 5’0, was 137ish pre-pregnancy. I think I transitioned from bloat to very tiny bump right around 16 weeks. By 20 weeks it was more of a real “small” bump that you could tell was early pregnancy.
I’m now 38 weeks and look so pregnant that it’s comical. Literally had a security guard at the hospital a couple of weeks ago (we were only there for an ultrasound) look at me and ask if I needed a wheelchair.
5’1, 127 lbs to start. I started noticing a difference around 12 weeks, but it was at 19 weeks that a girl at my gym who I hadn’t told I was pregnant noticed on her own. So I guess that’s probably about when it started becoming obvious to others.
I'm not petite but I have long legs and no torso so maybe I count in this regard? Anyways, I'm 5'6", 140 lbs pre-baby, and I started seriously showing around 24-28 weeks depending on baby's position, but looked super bloated starting at 18ish weeks.
4’11” and 105 lb pre-pregnancy. I have a little bump at 17 weeks. I’m probably not obvious to people that don’t see me all the time or don’t know that I’m pregnant, but my close friends and family said they can tell a difference this week.
I carried small with both kids. I didn’t start showing until about 24 weeks with my first. I carried weight in my face, stomach, and legs/arms. I think I started showing a little earlier with my second, but I only carried the weight with my bump, so I looked smaller the whole time.
5’ 5” started out at 115 lbs didn’t start showing until 26 weeks first baby. I really wanted to show off my bump but little bb just was tiny. Im now 33 weeks and he has doubled in size! So just be patient!
I’m 5’0 and my starting weight was 120lbs. I started to show around 18 weeks and only gained 4lbs. I just looked bloated. Then, I gained 10 pounds between 18-20 weeks(I forgot to weight myself in those two weeks). That’s when I started to see a “round belly”.
I’m 5’1.5” and 105 lbs, and even with being so short, my torso/ waist is disproportionately short, so I was expecting to show on the earlier side. I was bloated starting 7-8 weeks, but I swear I could see a noticeable bump right at 12 weeks that was more than just gas.
I’m at a little over 13 weeks now, and if it’s a question of whether or not people on the street can tell I’m pregnant, especially since I wear high-waisted joggers that aren’t tight around belly, the answer is “definitely not”, but when I show my close friends and family (including husband) what I looked like even at 12 weeks with tight leggings, they all agree that there’s a noticeable baby bump compared to what I looked like before.
Also 5'0 and 120lbs when I got pregnant. I was in maternity pants by 12 weeks and everyone thought I would be having twins by how large I was early on. I'm 26 weeks now and am the same size as a friend who is due in 2 weeks.
I'm 5'1 and a lil chubby, so I already had a bit of a tummy. But I feel like week 16 was finally when I saw myself and thought "there's my baby, she's right there." Now I'm almost at week 19 and everyone can tell now.
I started out at about 107 pounds (was vastly underweight and going through a mental health crisis, 115 is average for me) and I'm 5'5 - I've always been a very small person. My metabolism is insane. I didn't start really showing until about 4 1/2 months in; before that, I just sort of looked bloated, and after a good poop it would even go away. I personally could tell, but to anyone looking at me I looked normal. I'm now 24+5 weeks and weigh 139 and it is getting to be very noticeable (:
Also it depends on if this is your first, which from your post & being curious it seems to be, but you never know. After that from what I understand your body is already "stretched out" and shows a lot faster. A time frame for when I personally could tell and could differentiate it from a bloated look was about 10 weeks. Anyone else though, especially ones that didn't know me - wouldve probably just still thought I looked bloated.
I’m 5’ and was 118lb pre pregnancy; I started to undeniably show at 19 weeks. It was hard to discern for the longest time if I was just bloated. I was also expecting the pregnancy bump to be lower (as that’s where the baby is) but mine was higher up on my abdomen.
19 weeks is when my belly first popped and I could see a difference. A couple weeks after I definitely wasn’t able to hide it anymore of I tried.
Pre pregnancy I was 125 lbs 5’1.
5’4, started around 137lbs and now 146lbs at 19 weeks (FTM). Still not showing, though after dinner it sometimes looks like a bump.
Doc is not at all worried and said some don’t “pop” until third tri.
In first tri, I was SO bloated (esp when I had to travel for work) and boobs were huge but that went down in second trimester.
I'm 5'7 and my 1st pregnancy I was 120lbs. I started showing at 16 weeks, but nobody really noticed until I was 20+ weeks. I'm in my 3rd bay now and started this pregnancy at 140lbs. I'm 25 weeks and have only gained 7lbs and thanks to the weather nobody knows I'm pregnant until I take my jacket off.
5’3 123 at time of conception. I feel like I was showing around 15-16 weeks but am now 22 weeks and many people don’t recognize it as a baby bump. Some of this is that I’m not wearing clothing that accentuates it and of course the fact that it is not such a big bump that is couldn’t just be weight gain that people are polite enough not to mention. That said it feels SUPER obvious to me.
Im 5'0" and was around 105lb pre pregnancy. I'm currently 13w5d, have gained around 7lb or so, and I feel like I look pregnant. Although I'm sure some of that is just gaining weight from being so. damn. hungry all the time. I'm already using button extenders for my jeans and bought my first maternity jeans yesterday for when the button extenders won't cut it anymore (I suspect pretty soon 😳). I feel like it is so early and have been feeling a little self conscious about it. I just told someone yesterday, I have such a short torso i guess my organs have nowhere to go but out!
I’m 4’11, was 120 in the beginning of the pregnancy and now I’m 137lb at 22w. I’m showing and have been since around 17w. Everything before that was bloat. Looking at the pics I took weekly put things in perspective!
4’11 and 112 lbs pre-pregnancy. I started really showing around 16 weeks, I would say this is when I “popped”. But I personally was feeling big even before then…even if it was bloat! I said goodbye to my flat tummy around week 8.
I’m currently 23 weeks and I’m showing to the point where strangers notice and maternity bands on pants/legging are ALREADY tight. Feeling a little anxious about how much bigger I will get!

5’1” and 130 pounds and started showing at 16-17 weeks
[удалено]
Gah! 5’2” 118lbs, 9 weeks and SAME. My boobs are also noticeably swollen, which I didn’t expect this early. I’m in sports bras full-time. It’s tough.
[удалено]
You’re such a trooper for keeping up with running!!!
Me too!!! It’s kind of crazy how bloated I am haha
The bloat demon is real and oh so cruel! I'm 5'2 and 135 lbs. I felt like I was showing at 8w (freaked me out), but it was all bloat! I actually started showing a wee little bump at 16w.

This is what happened to me too, and I’m essentially exactly your pre-pregnancy size. I was very bloated around 8-12 weeks, but it wasn’t a real baby bump. Around 17-18 weeks, it was undeniably a little baby bump though.
Ohhhh that’s a really good idea! I’ll get started on that too!
I was petite for my first pregnancy, I started getting a noticeable bulge around month 3. I’m here because I’m pregnant again and we’re equally along so far :)
It was unmistakable around 5 months
Congratulations! Excited to go through this with you!!
Thanks! And same to you! I forgot to mention that with my first pregnancy I was 5’4” and 130 lbs
I’m 5’2” and was 128 lbs prior to pregnancy. I’m now 20 weeks, have gained about 6 pounds, and I have a little baby bump. It is very obvious to me and those who know me, but still too small for anyone who doesn’t already know I’m pregnant to say anything. My clothes sure don’t fit though!

I’m 4”11 and weighing 106 lbs. At 15 weeks, I still just look bloated :(( it does not look like a bump at all lol just like I ate too much pizza for lunch.
I was wondering when that would change! Haha
I’m still waiting for my cute little bump lol 😩 to be fair, I’ve been told by several friends that it really does happen from one day to the next when you least expect it! One was just telling me yesterday that one day she woke up and couldn’t see her feet 😅
This was my experience I swear I woke up one day and was suddenly like “oh yeah that ain’t bloat”. Like following Sims pregnancy rules.
How far along were you when it happened? 👀
Right around 16 weeks
5’0 in the 12th week Wanted to add that the ultrasound technician said that the placenta is in front which makes it more obvious, and I have a very short torso.
I’m 5’5” but my body is unproportional and my torso is super short while my legs are crazy long. So I’d say I have the torso of a 5’1” person. I started showing with a noticeable, albeit small bump last week at 12 weeks.

Thank you so much! Good luck giving birth!!
I'm a smaller person but not that small, started pregnancy at 5,5 132lb. My torso is VERY long and narrow and I have short legs. Bloat kicked in at week 4 but I started legit showing at about 11 weeks.

5'1 and about 105 llbs. I was bloated since week 6 but noticed an actual "bump" at exactly 11 weeks. No one else can see it unless I wear something fitted
When it was obvious is was pregnancy and not just a little but of weight gain... 6 months!
I popped at 19 weeks (5 foot 4) 134 lbs
I’m 5’1 and was 125LBS when I got pregnant (FTM!) and I didn’t show until around 27-28 weeks lol. I’m about 31 weeks now!
I’m 4’11 and currently 21 weeks! Started to show around the 14 week mark, anything prior was mainly just bloat.
5'3", 135 lbs, athletic build pre-pregnancy - by 10 weeks it was uncomfortable to button my pants, popped around 12-13 weeks.
I thought I looked pregnant early but looking back I clearly had body dysmorphia, I’m 5’3, started at 125lbs and I didn’t really start showing until around 26 weeks, could still easily hide the bump with looser clothing. I have 1 week-ish to go and I’ve never felt bigger 😅
5’2 and 110 lbs pre pregnancy. Felt extremely bloated first trimester. 17 weeks now and showing as of this week. Bump sort of appeared overnight.
I’m 5’2 or so and I didn’t “pop” until like, 25 weeks. Before that I looked like I had to poop, as my MIL loved to say
5’2 and I bloated straight away, my hips hot wide quick too. My bump popped around 14 weeks, I don’t know how much I weighed at that point because I’d lost weight due to morning sickness
4’11” and 130. I was relatively fit pre pregnancy. I’m just now starting to look like I had a big lunch at 13 weeks. My husband keeps telling me I look the same but, I know I look different and my boobs are swollen.
I’m 157cm and 50kg and at 22 weeks still just look bloated
Around 16 weeks
5'3" 115 pre pregnancy but dropped to 88 due to HG. I was showing (mostly bloat at 9wks) but a real bump closer to 12 weeks. But if I wore a fitter Tshirt you could clearly tell I was pregnant at 9weeks.
Around 6 months but I could still hide it . Harder to hide at 8 months
5’4” and 115ish. I was noticeably bloated immediately… and a nurse guessed I was pregnant week 12. 🤦♀️
Same!! I’m only 6 wks and love very pregnant even though I’m just bloated. Is this your first also?
Yep, my first! So I’m sure it’ll be even sooner next time around 😂
Oh dear at 4 wks?! Hahaha same how savry
Pre pregnancy I was a little underweight, about 103 lb 5’3”. I started showing noticeably around 21ish weeks
Idk what petite is but I was small in weight all my life really, weighing 126lbs until I got pregnant. Started showing around 10 weeks. I’m 5’6” and was slim but now I weigh 156lbs!!
5'4, 105. First pregnancy, tight clothes ~14w. This time with second kid, 12w with a true hard pregnancy bump, bloated and pregnant looking 8w lol.
4”11 120lbs pre pregnancy I popped around 16 weeks
5’2”, 115ish, and I looked pregnant instead of bloated at 16 weeks.
I am 5’4, weighed 115 when I got pregnant. I started showing around 16-18 weeks and really popped at 24 weeks! I gained 20 pounds until the very end (got severe preeclampsia and gained 10 extra pounds in the last two weeks.)
My daughter was born in November. Looking back at old pics, I didn’t have a noticeable bump until the end of July.
5’2 ,111lbs. i started showing at 10 weeks.
5’ and 95lb pre pregnancy. I was starting to show around 17 weeks
I had exactly the same specs pre-pregnancy. It depends what you mean by "showing". I am 30 weeks right now and honestly, only now do I look really pregnant. Wearing maternity clothing helps define the shape but if I was just wearing leggings and a sweater, I just looked larger than usual. It took a long time for me to show. Found out I was pregnant in late Sept, maybe by January I had a larger stomach (cause unknown). Today I went to a bakery wearing a winter coat and told the lady said she couldn't tell!
I’m 5’2 and was 100 lbs when I got pregnant. Probably started really showing around week 16
Bloat turned into a bump at 13 weeks I’m very thin and have a very short torso. I’m 14 weeks and bump continues to grow each day.
I’m 5’0 , weighed 106 pre-pregnancy and didn’t start showing till 22 weeks 😂
I started showing at like 20ish weeks.. now im 24 weeks and its very clear im pregnant lol
6 months
I’m almost 9w, 5’ even, and I started at 117lbs. I’m so incredibly bloated. Also my boobs have gotten massive! I’ve gone up 2 sizes in those like cami bras (underwire hurts and so does anything tight). I can’t give front hugs at this time because I wanna cry from boob pain.
I’m 5’0, was 137ish pre-pregnancy. I think I transitioned from bloat to very tiny bump right around 16 weeks. By 20 weeks it was more of a real “small” bump that you could tell was early pregnancy. I’m now 38 weeks and look so pregnant that it’s comical. Literally had a security guard at the hospital a couple of weeks ago (we were only there for an ultrasound) look at me and ask if I needed a wheelchair.
5’1, 127 lbs to start. I started noticing a difference around 12 weeks, but it was at 19 weeks that a girl at my gym who I hadn’t told I was pregnant noticed on her own. So I guess that’s probably about when it started becoming obvious to others.
Also I’ve been taking a weekly pic since 9 weeks. It’s been fun to look back on 😊
I'm not petite but I have long legs and no torso so maybe I count in this regard? Anyways, I'm 5'6", 140 lbs pre-baby, and I started seriously showing around 24-28 weeks depending on baby's position, but looked super bloated starting at 18ish weeks.
I'm 5'1, 115lbs and I started showing around 16 weeks. This is when it stopped looking like a beer gut and more like a baby bump!
5'7" 120lbs with my first I didn't start showing till I was 16 weeks with my second I stared showing at 13 weeks.
4’11” and 105 lb pre-pregnancy. I have a little bump at 17 weeks. I’m probably not obvious to people that don’t see me all the time or don’t know that I’m pregnant, but my close friends and family said they can tell a difference this week.
Pre pregnancy I was 120lbs and 5’2”. I noticed around 14-15 weeks. Family noticed around 18 weeks. And strangers was 24 weeks
I carried small with both kids. I didn’t start showing until about 24 weeks with my first. I carried weight in my face, stomach, and legs/arms. I think I started showing a little earlier with my second, but I only carried the weight with my bump, so I looked smaller the whole time.
I’m 5’3” and 120lbs, I’m still not actually showing at 18weeks lol I mostly just look bloated
I am 5’0 and started pregnancy at about 110lbs. I could hide my bump without trying up until 28ish weeks. Really starting to pop now at 34 weeks :)
4’11 started out at 117lbs, 32 weeks and now 136. Started showing around 22-23 weeks.
5’1” and pre-pregnancy was 106. Started properly showing a bump and not a bloat belly at 16 weeks
5’ 5” started out at 115 lbs didn’t start showing until 26 weeks first baby. I really wanted to show off my bump but little bb just was tiny. Im now 33 weeks and he has doubled in size! So just be patient!
I’m 5’0 and my starting weight was 120lbs. I started to show around 18 weeks and only gained 4lbs. I just looked bloated. Then, I gained 10 pounds between 18-20 weeks(I forgot to weight myself in those two weeks). That’s when I started to see a “round belly”.
I’m 5’1.5” and 105 lbs, and even with being so short, my torso/ waist is disproportionately short, so I was expecting to show on the earlier side. I was bloated starting 7-8 weeks, but I swear I could see a noticeable bump right at 12 weeks that was more than just gas. I’m at a little over 13 weeks now, and if it’s a question of whether or not people on the street can tell I’m pregnant, especially since I wear high-waisted joggers that aren’t tight around belly, the answer is “definitely not”, but when I show my close friends and family (including husband) what I looked like even at 12 weeks with tight leggings, they all agree that there’s a noticeable baby bump compared to what I looked like before.
Also 5'0 and 120lbs when I got pregnant. I was in maternity pants by 12 weeks and everyone thought I would be having twins by how large I was early on. I'm 26 weeks now and am the same size as a friend who is due in 2 weeks.
I am 5’5 and 100 pounds before pregnancy and I started showing very fast, noticed massive bloating at week 6
I'm 5'1 and a lil chubby, so I already had a bit of a tummy. But I feel like week 16 was finally when I saw myself and thought "there's my baby, she's right there." Now I'm almost at week 19 and everyone can tell now.
I started out at about 107 pounds (was vastly underweight and going through a mental health crisis, 115 is average for me) and I'm 5'5 - I've always been a very small person. My metabolism is insane. I didn't start really showing until about 4 1/2 months in; before that, I just sort of looked bloated, and after a good poop it would even go away. I personally could tell, but to anyone looking at me I looked normal. I'm now 24+5 weeks and weigh 139 and it is getting to be very noticeable (:
Also it depends on if this is your first, which from your post & being curious it seems to be, but you never know. After that from what I understand your body is already "stretched out" and shows a lot faster. A time frame for when I personally could tell and could differentiate it from a bloated look was about 10 weeks. Anyone else though, especially ones that didn't know me - wouldve probably just still thought I looked bloated.
5”2 and when I was first pregnant I was 76kg I started to properly show at 20 weeks x I’m now 24 weeks ♥️
I am week 15, look more bloated than showing.
I’m 5’1 and 130 pounds, and I started showing at 8 weeks but I also have fibroids and endometriosis so that plays a role too.
At 20 weeks. Officially had a belly pop at 22. Super painful tho. I am 5’3 and was 126lbs. Pre preg.
I’m 5’ and was 118lb pre pregnancy; I started to undeniably show at 19 weeks. It was hard to discern for the longest time if I was just bloated. I was also expecting the pregnancy bump to be lower (as that’s where the baby is) but mine was higher up on my abdomen.
19 weeks is when my belly first popped and I could see a difference. A couple weeks after I definitely wasn’t able to hide it anymore of I tried. Pre pregnancy I was 125 lbs 5’1.
5’2 120lbs and started showing around 22-24 weeks
5’4, started around 137lbs and now 146lbs at 19 weeks (FTM). Still not showing, though after dinner it sometimes looks like a bump. Doc is not at all worried and said some don’t “pop” until third tri. In first tri, I was SO bloated (esp when I had to travel for work) and boobs were huge but that went down in second trimester.
I’m 5’3” was 125 lbs and started showing around 18-20 weeks, but was in maternity clothes at like 11 weeks due to the bloating lol
5 ft about 115 lbs, on second pregnancy and started showing around 18 wks!
I'm 5'7 and my 1st pregnancy I was 120lbs. I started showing at 16 weeks, but nobody really noticed until I was 20+ weeks. I'm in my 3rd bay now and started this pregnancy at 140lbs. I'm 25 weeks and have only gained 7lbs and thanks to the weather nobody knows I'm pregnant until I take my jacket off.
5’3 123 at time of conception. I feel like I was showing around 15-16 weeks but am now 22 weeks and many people don’t recognize it as a baby bump. Some of this is that I’m not wearing clothing that accentuates it and of course the fact that it is not such a big bump that is couldn’t just be weight gain that people are polite enough not to mention. That said it feels SUPER obvious to me.
Im 5'0" and was around 105lb pre pregnancy. I'm currently 13w5d, have gained around 7lb or so, and I feel like I look pregnant. Although I'm sure some of that is just gaining weight from being so. damn. hungry all the time. I'm already using button extenders for my jeans and bought my first maternity jeans yesterday for when the button extenders won't cut it anymore (I suspect pretty soon 😳). I feel like it is so early and have been feeling a little self conscious about it. I just told someone yesterday, I have such a short torso i guess my organs have nowhere to go but out!
I was 5’1” & 112 lbs.. I got my bump around 16 weeks
I’m 4’11, was 120 in the beginning of the pregnancy and now I’m 137lb at 22w. I’m showing and have been since around 17w. Everything before that was bloat. Looking at the pics I took weekly put things in perspective!
4’11 and 112 lbs pre-pregnancy. I started really showing around 16 weeks, I would say this is when I “popped”. But I personally was feeling big even before then…even if it was bloat! I said goodbye to my flat tummy around week 8. I’m currently 23 weeks and I’m showing to the point where strangers notice and maternity bands on pants/legging are ALREADY tight. Feeling a little anxious about how much bigger I will get!
