When i was pregnant with my daughter, i dont think i started showing until i was about 5 months. I looked super skinny up until then, and even when i was about to have her i only looked about 6 months pregnant, and she was 8 pounds 7.7 ounces. Now im pregnant with my second, and im only 14 weeks and 4 days and im already showing. The doctor said this babies already big, so im thinking they may have gotten my date off. When did you start showing? Did you get stretch marks bad? I got them bad on my hips with my first, but nothing on my belly. Im hoping for the same this time.

i was the envy of my colleagues then for i was also small and started showing only in my 6th month and my kid was 6.5 lbs. actually my gynecologist advised me to eat a lot then had to control my weight after a week 
. i was also in my fifth month when my gynecologist said that i didn't break the record for no stretch marks .

I began showing at 18 weeks with my first baby. It was earlier with my second baby: 16 weeks. With my third baby I got pregnant at the beginning of October. I didn't announce my pregnancy until the beginning of January. I was starting to show after 12 weeks but I hid my bump. I wanted to be sure my baby didn't have spina bifida. I had a scan at 16 weeks that confirmed I was expecting a healthy baby. I got stretch marks after having my first baby. He weighed 9lb 4oz. They were on my tummy. I hope I haven't got any this time.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
My first baby is 4 months old now, and I remember I started showing when I was about 5 months too. I still remember some of my friends met me when I was 5 month pregnant, and they didn't know I was pregnant until I told them. When I was 9 month pregnant, my friend said she couldn't tell I was pregnant when seeing me from the back. Perhaps I am quite skinny.
I didn't get any stretch marks when I was pregnant, perhaps I started to apply the stretch mark lotion once I knew I was pregnant, that was about 1 month.

This cant be quite normal with others as it is all concerned about how ponce personality is based on their health and the harmonal orders that make out their personalities responding to the changes that took in their bodies during pregnancy as this is natural. Anyway your are lucky that you dont have stretch marks on your stomach where as others suffer inferiority with this .

Hi emmasmomma, I'm quite tiny and had a neat little bump and it was obvious it was a baby in there and not fat. I felt huge in the last month even though it wasn't a lot of extra weight really. I was lucky and didn't get a single stretch mark but what I did was put vitamin E cream over the bump every day,it really worked so you could start trying that now. Good luck.
